WRC History : Ari Vatanen in the NEW Subaru Impreza on Rally Finland 1993

Спорт

Happy Birthday Ari Vatanen! To celebrate the 70th birthday of the 1981 World Rally Champion and Rally Legend Ari Vatanen, we look back in WRC history to his famous battle for victory on Rally Finland in 1993 in his brand new Subaru Impreza rally car. Ari Vatanen won 15 stages, took the lead on stage 26, but lost out to Juha Kankkunen in a Toyota Celica Turbo in the final results by only 45 seconds, after 35 stages and over 500km of flat out rally action in a brand new rally car!

WRC is the FIA World Rally Championship, a tough motorsport using rally cars on real roads around the world. Watch the best rally drivers flat out on gravel and asphalt roads with mud, rain, dust, ice and heat. Power slides, drifts, big jumps, watersplashes, handbrake turns, hairpin bends, lucky escapes, big moments or a massive crash. Rally requires maximum attack and careful tactics to become world rally champion.
Rally drivers take turns to complete closed road "special stages" as quickly as possible, setting off a few minutes apart. A co-driver reads pace notes to describe the hazards ahead. The same rally car is used to travel to each stage on public roads following normal traffic regulations. The crew which completes all the stages in the shortest time is the rally winner. WRC is administered by the FIA Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile FIA, motorsport's world governing body.
Some of the world's greatest drivers have won the FIA World Rally Championship for Drivers : Colin McRae, Carlos Sainz, Walter Röhrl, Stig Blomqvist, Petter Solberg, Ott Tänak. Champions from Finland are Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Mäkinen, Ari Vatanen, Marcus Grönholm and Hannu Mikkola. French rally drivers have dominated 8 times with Sébastien Ogier, and 9 times with Sébastien Loeb. Famous motorsport drivers have attempted WRC like Robert Kubica and Kimi Räikkönen from F1 and Ken Block from Rallycross.
Car companies compete for the prestigious FIA World Rally Championship for Manufacturers. The 1980's featured the iconic Group B rally cars like the Lancia 037 and Delta S4, Peugeot 205 T16, MG Metro 6R4, Ford RS200 and Audi Quattro.
Japan dominated the 1990s with the Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Celica and Toyota Corolla. Citroen and Volkswagen became champions in the 2000s along with M-Sport team using the Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta. Toyota returned to the WRC in 2017 with the Toyota Yaris WRC, winning in 2018 and 2021. Hyundai won in 2019 and 2020 with the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC.

    Thanks for uploading. Who cares about the sound quality? This footage is priceless! I had several VHS tapes (unfortunately they were overtaken by technology and rendered obsolete) with incredible rally footage from the 90's. In one of them, Ari Vatanen had a forward-facing camera attached to the front of the Imprezza and boy was he flying.

    What a legend, sorry legends. Ari I think is the longest serving superstar of rallying and in so many different cars. He's always so relaxed and just so quick.. I've actually shaken him by the hand on the IOM back in the 1980s. None of the talent rubbed off though.

    @Mr.Dinoface they will come if the WRC becomes full electric, at least that's what the Alpine PDG said. So basically, either we loose WRC because there are not enough cars or we loose the sould of rally but we get more cars. I don't care if the cars are electric but the sound plays a big part in the world of rally so... either way we loose a bit

    Opinion: Rally 2 cars should become the mainclass WRC cars aka Rally 1 cars. Also slighly less restricting turbo restrictors should be allowed to make the cars have around 300 bhp like old day wrc cars. Also WRC 2 drivers should become WRC drivers. I think this would be insanely amazing. More drivers and manufactures competing on a equal ground would be an absolute thrill to follow. Right now there are really like what 6-10 full time drivers competing for the WRC title with 3 different cars. That is actually pretty depressing compared to these old days...

    Brace yourself my take kind of turned into an essay The problem I think with the rules is what we effectively have now is a modern take on group B and what's come with that is all the problems with group B that the people who romanticise and worship it forget. The philosophy of group B was about ultra powerful, nonsense on wheels silhouette cars with big speeds and big commitment. And that is what we have now. They're well over 500 hp they carry ridiculous speeds, I do genuinely think they sound great, I think the talent pool of Rovanperra, Tanak, Neuville etc is great. But group B was massively unfriendly if you're a privateer or a smaller manufacturer, the cost of the R & D to make a competitive car was huge and it simply wasn't anywhere near as competitive as people think it was I'm not sure about going back to WRC2 because if It doesn't work the one draw the current cars have, the speed, will be gone. I think we need WRC1.5 and in my mind that's the original 1997 WRC regs but with the hybrid. And I also think an F1 cost cap would massively help as well. Ultimately I just think WRC needs more fans, if there's more fans hopefully the manufacturers will follow. In a way though I'm strangely optimistic. Now Ogier is just there now and again for the banter it's kind of where F1 was in 2007 where the way is open and we've got a load of drivers all as competitive as each other and all capable of winning and if 2023 stays as competitive as Sweden and Mexico have been I think this year will hopefully be a banger

    Although not quite the same as the rally car, Id love a WRX STI in the UK. Not cheap to run but would make commuting a hoot, turning up in one with that wonderful noise and laughing at all the bores in their German lease cars. Im 53 by the way not some young boy racer. I really cannot stand the way our society is filled with people who cant think for themselves and prefer to follow fashion trends for fear of not being in that exclusive club. Its so pathetic. Fear of not fitting in instead of being an individual, how very sad. Life too short to be like everyone else.

    In all honesty the cars at that time were not that interesting, more of a electronics arms race to fix for all short comings. Ari on the other hand is a true legend.
