The WRC is the FIA World Rally Championship, a tough motorsport using rally cars on real roads around the world. Watch the best rally drivers battle on gravel and asphalt roads with mud, rain, dust, ice and heat! Watch high speed action as the rally drivers power slide and drift round narrow corners, go flat out over a big jump or through a watersplash, handbrake turn round a hairpin, survive a big moment, or have a massive crash! Rally requires maximum attack and careful tactics to become world rally champion.
Each rally has timed sections called special stages, on closed roads. Drivers complete these stages as quickly as possible. A co-driver reads pace notes that explain the hazards ahead. Rally drivers use the same rally car to travel to each stage on public roads, following normal traffic regulations. The crew which completes all the stages in the shortest time is the rally winner. Championship points are won using the same scoring system as Formula 1. The championship is administered by Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.
Over 30 countries have hosted WRC rallies. Rally Monte Carlo, Rally Argentina, Rally Finland, Rally Portugal, Tour de Corse on Corsica, France, Rally Sardegna on Sardinia, Italy, Safari Rally in Kenya, Acropolis Rally in Greece, Rally New Zealand, Rally Australia, Rally Japan, Rally GB, Rally Catalunya, Rallye Deutschland, Rally Mexico and many more.
Some of the world's greatest drivers have won the FIA World Rally Championship for Drivers, like Colin McRae, Carlos Sainz, Walter Röhrl, Stig Blomqvist, Petter Solberg, Ott Tänak. The list of world rally champions includes many Finnish rally drivers like Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Mäkinen, Ari Vatanen, Marcus Grönholm, Hannu Mikkola. French drivers have had success with Sébastien Ogier, and 9 times world champion Sébastien Loeb. Famous drivers from other motorsports have come to try rally driving like Ken Block from Rallycross, and Robert Kubica and Kimi Räikkönen from F1.
Car companies compete for the prestigious FIA World Rally Championship for Manufacturers awarded to the most successful WRC constructor. Winners include Citroen, Hyundai, Volkswagen and Peugeot. Ford have had success with the Ford Escort, Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta when the M-Sport team won in 2017.
The 1980's featured the iconic Group B rally cars like the Lancia 037 and Delta S4, Peugeot 205 T16, MG Metro 6R4, Ford RS200 and Audi Quattro.
Japan dominated the 1990s with the Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Celica and Toyota Corolla. Toyota returned to the WRC in 2017 with the Toyota Yaris WRC, winning in 2018. The 2019 championship was won by Hyundai with the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. Find out about the latest winners and champions at www.wrc.com - Sport
We will miss him. He is a Legend !
Was
Is a Legend, not was a Legend.
@@thoras1297 Agreed. Tense plays no part in his legacy. Hannu will always be a legend 👍
True... Just as Dale Earnhardt *IS* a legend, Ayrton Senna *IS* a legend, Babe Ruth *IS* a legend...
Immortality isn't physically living forever... As long as the legacy of said names and then some, are remembered, they will live on... In our hearts and minds... So they are truly not dead... They are *VERY* much alive... In their legacy and the memories of such...
There is no "was" or "were"... He *IS* a legend and they *ARE* legends...
@@therayven3147 nice post pal 👍🙂
When one was a child, he saw the monsters of group B masterfully carried by the great Nordic masters and learned their names in that language to mispronounce them, while collecting their photos and posters with the great show of power, control and speed they provided. One is more from the era of Sainz, Biasion, Kankkunen, McRae, Auriol, these are the first "expeditions" to the road to vibrate with the passage of cars, but there is no doubt that Hannu Mikkola's Audi is the first impression powerful that I was passionate about this sport. Rest in peace, master.
4 WRC Champions, Bjorn Waldegard, Hannu Mikkola, Colin McRae and Richard Burns, has passed away....
It's so sad we can't see and meet those legends. Rest in Peace Hannu🇫🇮
RIP, legend of the stages. ❤️🌹😞
I got chills. Race in piece Hannu.
Always a gentleman. Never full of himself. Supportive of others. Fine team mate. Bravo, Hannu. Bravo.
My condolences to his family and colleagues.
What a sad days
He maybe the superior Flying Finn
Remember his flying with almighty Ford Escort and Lancia Delta Integrale
He never drove Lancia?
The Lancia Delta HF Intregrallye Evoluzione (probably spelt that wrong)... My favorite car...
Hannu, grande Campione.... ci mancherai TANTO ⚘🌏🌎🌍 🇮🇹egi-Genova
also flies in paradise hannu ❤️
His royal excellence of rally sport! His talent was his right foot! The only element that went down in his career. RIP...
A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND ONE HELL OF A CHAMPION ❤
Great driver we missed you❤️
Hannu ist Eisenhart gefahren,und Eisenhart von uns gegangen! Ein Finne wie es im Buche steht! Mach's gut Hannu und fahr da oben weiter,deine Rallyes! R.I.P. und alles gute!
My first hero. RIP champ 🙏💛
Life is itself a rally... with all those stages with twist and turns. Hannu has just completed the last stage of his life. Rest in peace 🙏🙏
Right? Guess he has made it to the final "service area" of his life...
RIP Hannu loved watching you back in the day.
Grande campione, grandissimo uomo. R.I.P.
Inesquecivel nos anos 80 no Rallye de Portugal que nos fazia passar noites sem dormir para ver verdadeiros Artistas do Volante, Mikkola jamais morrera enquanto tivermos Memórias lindas de época Gloriosa dos Rallyes. Sentimentos para Familia e todos amantes dos Rallyes.
Legendに合掌。ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
I had the honour of rallying with Hannu in 1995 on the london to Mexico Rally. A re-run of the original world cup in 70. He won it then. He won it again in 95. The original 'Flying Fin' - Legend. xx
RIP we all will miss you
7 times Finnish Rally champion. True Flying Finn
R.I.P. Thanks for the entertainment over the years.
Rip ❤
R.i.p Legend🙏
U will never be forgotten
R.I.P hannu mikkola 1942-2021
RIP Hannu. You will never be forgotten in our lives
HE WAS A LEGEND
This is very legendary from hanu
Never spectacular but always very, very fast. RIP Hannu.
He tamed the Escort and Quattro. Always sideways with Escort. Quattro might have understeered quite a lot but Hannu made it dance and fly. 1983 WRC champion. Also 7 times 1000 Lakes Rally winner…just how? During those days when the cars broke down and you had to drive flat out all the time with unstable cars. Incredible. Also 1979 title belonged to him. It was unacceptable from police what happened in that year’s Monte Carlo Rally. He won the rally but was later dropped to 5th due to ”dangerous driving” on road section. It was a shame. There’s no doubt, he was really spectacular.
покойся с миром, легенда
Hannu, is now rallying in heaven. RIP Flying Finn. My condolences to his family.
Great man. Watched him in Kenya Safari rally when I was young.
RIP Hannu
R.I.P LEGEND!
Fly high Hannu, rest in peace ✌🏻

Champ
R.I.P. Milkkola
rest in peace legend...
I wonder if he was a Jim Clark fan. And I wonder if he was, at all, related to Heikki Mikkola. Although a "WRC fan" I confess I didn't realize how important Hannu Mikkola was.
We rebuild and build...........
ONE OF MY IDOLS WITH COLIN MCRAE. STIG BLOMGVIST AND ARI VATANEN
Odeszła prawdziwa legenda rajdòw... :(
Oltiin Handen kanssa samassa teknisessä opistossa (HTO) ja minä sain kunnian mm. tuoda hänen Amazonin BMR-2 kilpailun jälkeen takaisin Räyskälästä Hernesaaren ja vähän muutakin. Hieno nuorukainen jo tuohon aikaan.
Come on, only 3m 17s for Hannu?
Love him
No restin peace bicose love him
Bicose is a strong no rest în peace is no more a fuc of this world ever
Like him no
Its mi best friend knou😢 machine

R I P
You could haven't added ads in this video at least, just saying
PD: sorry about my english
Gost of gear
The top rallydrivers are from an other planet. They take your car and then you want to never drive again. Of course you do. Again one of the Heroes gone.
Though I'm not really familiar with him... I have heard of him... The "Flying Finn"...
I really didn't take a liking to rallye untill toward the end of the Colon McRea era... Got to playing games like the first "WRC World Rallye Championship" game on PS2... That is what really got me into rallye...
However, this man is still seen as a legend by many, and it is sad he passed...
Guess now he is amung the likes of Colon McRea, Dale Earnhardt, Ayrton Senna, and others... Bet they racing the *HELL* out of each other there...
That is probebly Tommie mäkkinen and Juha kankkunen
I Believe There Was A Video Of Mikkola And Ari Vatanen Sitting On A Hay Bale Saying How Insane Group B Was, I Don’t Remember Where It Was But If Somebody Knows It’ll Be Much Appreciated,

А без масок нельзя давать интервью ?
It's such a shame that Michelle etc are wearing masks...it feels like it's a fake tribute, can't they just stand a little further apart??
