With the recent talks on who's potentially gonna be the new promoter, i'd like to share some rare behind the scenes footage from the promoter at the time (ISC).

Hello Friends, I joined this subreddit not only to learn and be able to talk about this category (as soon as I start to see and understand it), But for now I just need your help for a very important project of mine.
I'm trying to do a project that's based on an iceberg of motorsport in general (Drift, Open Wheel, Rally, GT, etc). And at this point, I'd like to ask you, what have been the most historic moments in the category? Whether they're epic moments, rivalries, controversies, including funny moments, coincidences, or simply memes related to the category, etc. It can be anything. While you're at it, it would be a huge help if you could send me links to information or simply tell me what happened that time.
I'm doing this whole project mainly to raise awareness of motorsports in the Spanish-speaking world (As you can see, I'm from Colombia). And thus enable more Spanish-speaking people to understand or learn about other categories besides the main ones (F1, Indycar, etc.).
Your contribution would be a great help in making this important project a reality for me. So I would be very grateful for your help 🥹🫶

I need to make a quick presentation (around 8 minutes) about the WRC and its differences and similarities with the Isle of Mann TT (my mates part of the presentation) and was thining of what to add not to make it too long but still detailed.
Thought of talking a bit about the history and general regulations (first years, groub A / B, 1997-2016, hybrid era and future 2027), ofc the most popular cars/manifactures battles and ofc the structure of a WRC (weekends, stages, legs, supersundays ect.).
Suggestions on what to add of what I already mentioned or something else? Ty
If you guys have seen that one post within this subreddit about how the new promoter basically wants the WRC to be more like F1, it also mentions on a new European manufacturer (thats not Lancia) planning to join next year for the new regulations and will be announced in June. Ive also learned that the announcement will happen after Rally Japan and before Rally Rally Greece, basically confirming that it will happen next month (although Im unsure on the credibility of that one).
With all this in mind, what manufacturer do you guys think will be announced in joining the WRC? Im also curious to see if they will be full time or part time and whether they will start at the beginning of the season.
getting more and more into the sport beyond video games and archive compilations, i want to see what iconic historic cars are actually frauds

I am not making this up...
Hey everyone! 👋
I've been getting more into following WRC closely this season
and I'd love to find some active Discord servers where people
discuss races, stages, drivers and results in real time.
Any recommendations? 🏁
In an interview by the president of the ACP (organiser of Rally Portugal) gave some hints about what might be the new life of WRC under the new promoter. The interview was in portuguese, so I leave a translated version here:
“The new promoter wants to do something closer to Formula 1, more show, wants the paddock itself to have all this. We are already building it. A village that has the top guests they want to have there. Next year we will have another official manufacturer, but I can't reveal it, it will be announced in June. They want to do another kind of rally, change the television broadcasts. We have already had a good conversation here with them, next year we will be the first rally of the championship that will give this smell. In Monte Carlo it's more complicated. They want to do Turini on Saturday night, but I don't believe it.”
Regarding the new manufacturer, on another interview live on portuguese tv (can’t find the source, but I saw it live), he has said that it was an european manufacturer, but it wasn’t Lancia.
Well RIP to Fafe I guess
He is ahead of 2nd by 12 points. He almost had won the WRC title in 2020 and 2025 but lost in the final race. Or is he going to find a way to finish second again?
Bloody hell. The lads need to stop worrying about pace until they can reliably finish rallies and get some points on the board.
Embarrassing seeing them finish behind a bunch of Rally2 cars every event.
It's always something, but it keeps happening one way or another.
Ya gotta finish the damn rally first!
