How to make a WRC car | Pole Position

Спорт

Pole Position's Rosanna Tennant spent a day at Prodrive's MINI John Cooper Works World Rally car factory in Banbury. Subscribe for more: link.base79.com/polepositionsub
Public Relations Manager, Ben Sayer, took Rosanna through every stage of changing a MINI Countryman road car into a MINI John Cooper Works World Rally car.
The 2013 World Rally Championship kicked off in January at the Rallye Monte-Carlo with Citroën Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team's Sébastien Loeb winning the event for the seventh time. Prodrive's MINI team didn't compete at Monte-Carlo but they'll be making their debut at Rally Sweden this week with Finnish driver Jarkko Nikkara.
Pole Position will be at Rally Sweden so let us know if there's anything you want us to show, cover or ask!

    Group N, N4 and R are more or less showroom stock. Stateside we have Production GT, and Super Production GT cars. But as it is, they are not nearly as spectacular as the Open class cars and therefor just dont get any media coverage despite the rather large number of entries of those classes in rally.

    I think these were the ultimate regulations for the WRC cars. Reasonable priced, somewhat stock looking from the outside but still fast. Private teams were able to buy (=afford) and race with these - something that is absolutely impossible with current WRC cars.

    RRC is the S2000 1.6T they just donc call it that way (actually, i dont know how prodrive call it) The difference between the WRC and RRC is the turbo restrictor (smaller on the RRC) and the Aero kit which makes it easy to change back and forth depending on the event you're want to run (ERC, WRC...) The engine and gearbox is the same on the RRC and WRC!

    S2000 cars have a 2000cc naturally aspired engine, which haves quite little in common with a WRC engine. Apart from the engine and gearbox, an S2000 car is quite simmilar to a todays WRC one. As I know, Mini doesn't have an RRC car. Only Ford and Citroen have.

    If all you have to keep from the road car is the block and the head, whats even the point? You might as well make a car from the ground up just for rallying, it's nearly like that anyways. These WRC cars have pretty much no relationship to the roads cars they're supposed to be based on. It's nothing like a Mini Countryman, its a specially made MINI John Cooper Works World Rally car wearing a Mini Countryman costume.

    Who cares about bodyshell, when nothing else have much common with a roadcar. Modern cars are too crappy for rallying, and modern FIA regulations are too crappy to make this sport interesting again. In 70ties it was different. Rallycar was simply modyfied roadcar, with stronger engine, LSD and different gearbox. Rear wheel drive, low weight and big power made it spectacural as hell, and it was still just an imroved roadcar.

    Forget this rubbish, bring back homologation (group a) cars like sierra and escort cosworth, delta integrale, celica gt4, mitsubishi evo, impreza, etc. Why bother to build a rally car for wrc if there isn't a road going equivalent. Manufacturers do it to advertise their cars but their road cars have nothing to do with the rally car. Group 4 was brilliant group a was brilliant Group b was brilliant because they had too much power Wrc is boring, its like group b without the power. With no power group b would have been boring too.

    PANTHERBURNS group a was my favourite era, modern wrc cars are very impressive as a piece of engineering but aren't impressive to watch, a highly modified integrale was incredible to watch, a h pattern box, 3 pedals, a car that is adapted for rallying is a lot better to watch than a car built for rallying. And it's more satisfying as i can go and buy one, own one. Not just make do with watching it on tv. I never wanted to just watch a cosworth, i wanted to own one, and we could. I want a wrc car but i can't have one because they don't make them.
