r/WRC

Hey y’all! I’m an aspiring fiction writer and motorsports enthusiast. I’ve started working on a novel set during the Group B era of WRC (between 1979-1986). The protagonist is Swedish and his arch rival is a Finn whose brother was a rising rally star who died in a crash before the events of the story. There is also an Italian Michele Mouton equivalent. As you can probably figure out, mortality is a central theme in the novel.

I’m not really sure where else to ask this and there are so few (if any) fiction novels written about rallying, so I figured this sub and r/WRC would be better places to ask for input. What would you want to see in a fiction novel about Group B-era WRC?

Now that we have had islas canarias as the spanish round for a couple of years now instead of catalunya, which rally does everyone prefer?
I’m completely undecided

Greece made clear the new Hankooks are terrible. So many punctures. What the hell can / will WRC do? It’s terrible to watch.

Hi all

Despite the really poor way in which RallyTV present the WRC, I subscribe - sometimes to watch the live stages but if I don’t have time, then I watch the end of day highlights.

Why oh why are they obsessed, before the ‘break’, with showing a spoiler for what is upcoming every single time?!

Someone has crashed?! Oh, we’ll show you a clip of it to spoil it before we actually show it to you. Thierry and Seb get the exact same stage time on the penultimate stage? No problem, we’ll tell you that before then proceeding to show you the stage highlights.

WHY!!! It’s like this is run by a load of interns.

This is probably the best sport in motorsport, presented in the worst way.

From the horses mouth.....Gazoo

Evans gets a few more championship points. A black and white decision takes away McErleans best result so far

Please no up-voting my input, sharing is caring, am not into this voting business. Excellent footage here in 4K 60FPS - One section of track has a length that's been concreted and the cars almost fly through it....Seriously fast...Enjoy

Ive been really enjoying watching old Group B footage and documentarys and i really like the concept of rallying as a motorsport. So i wanted to look into modern rally but the cars just look…. fat and round and ugly (my opinion). I know its for safety and aerodynamics and stuff but i just couldnt enjoy watching WRC. Is there a still ongoing rally scene with cool looking cars?
