WRC

This term refers both to the championship itself, the “World Rally Championship”, and the cars driven in the series, the “World Rally Cars”. The most sophisticated cars used in rallying, the WRCs are powered by a 1.6-litre turbo engine developing close to 400 horsepower and weighing just 1,190kg. They are fitted with a semi-automatic, sequential gearbox and endowed with substantial aerodynamic features.
