Rally categories explained (VIDEO)

Hi, friends!

There are various categories for the cars and drivers who want to compete in rallying and I must say that there is some difference from World Rally Championship and various national Championships in classes/categories.

But lets stay in World Rally Championship because that's what I mainly write about.

There is five classes in the WRC:

WRC1 class - for Rally1 cars (premium category with cars of apprx 550bhp and hybrid units (at the end of this season hybrids will be gone))

WRC2 class - for Rally2 cars (4x4 machinery with apprx 300bhp, that should be premium class if you ask me)

WRC3 class - for Rally3 cars which is our newly aquired Ford Fiesta Rally3 (4x4, apprx 260bhp)

RC4 class - for Rally4 cars (apprx 240bhp, front wheel drive, this class/category is not counted for points in its own class but drivers can enter WRC events just to compete)

RC5 class - for Rally5 cars which is our Renault Clio Rally5 (apprx 180bhp, front wheel drive, not counted for points in its own class)
