The World Rally Championship is the most exciting racing I've ever seen. It takes place all over the world, from Sweden to Australia. Each race is made up of three legs, each covering about 400 Km, with numerous stages in each leg. The race spans three days, one leg per day. The cars do not all start at the same time, but are separated by time intervals. The winners of these races are determined by whoever has finished the entire race in the least amount of time. The drivers must be exceptionally talented as they must race on various surfaces, and conditions. Unfortunately these races do not appear too often on TV, when they do it is usually ESPN2 or Speedvision.

The cars used for these rallies look very similar to cars you would find on the street, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Celica, Ford Escort Cosworth, Mitsubishi Lancer, etc. These cars have 2-litre turbo-charged engines, 4 wheel-drive, 1230 kg minimum weight, and must be a mid-sized family car. Inside the new World Rally Cars is new instrumentation for both the driver and co-driver. Using a full colour, high-resolution screen, a new digital dash, capable of displaying 18 pages of information, has been created. Although the cars look very similar to production cars, their bodies and suspensions have undergone modifications to increase road handling capabilities and performance. For example here are some of the stats for the Team Subaru 555 car:
