The best thing about Octavia was that due to it's size it had to be driven sideways to be quick. Definitely much more spectacular car than rather boring Fabia...

Good example being Schwarz at Monte Carlo 2001, fighting for 3rd place with Delecour's Ford. Ultimately 4th, but with that driving style he deserved a podium. :)

Looking forward to see 2 Octavia's at the Condroz this weekend!

Oh well at least you realised you were wrong eventually :p

Good photos though, I had thought of doing something similar. I find it strange that they're calling the new cars WRCars. WRCars are two litre turbo cars, with lots of high tech stuff on them, these newcars are different! They just are!

Thanks, it's taking me hours to get all this stuff up and finding some vintage imagery. I'm doing this because it's the end of an era and it's the era I grew up with whilst following the WRC. Something that I will miss and dont want the next gen of 'WRCars' to happen! :p

See I’m almost glad they’re going – the costs and technology went too far, ending up with two Manufacturers – compleltely unsustainable. I preferred the first WRCars, they were still driven sideways.
I think the new cars should be called NQWRCars – not quite World Rally cars…… ;)

From what year do you think the prices went up to run these babys? Pug 307 upwards years?

Wasn't having three 206's, three Focus's, two Impreza's, two SEAT's etc OK back then? Early 2000's?

I remember Malcom Wilson saying when Ford introduced the 2003 version (the on with the big rear wing) that it was the first WRC car which price was above 500.000 €. I don’t know when the active front and rear diffs was introduced but I think they were most expensive (~1 milj. Euros) at the time they had active front and rear diffs and more titanium parts (wishbones etc.). In the podcast AndyRAC posted in the “News and rumours” thread, Malcom tells that the cars they’ve built recent years costs almost 600.000 £ (~ 750.000 €).

Yes, they were driven more sideways. All cars had an active central differential by the end of 1995 and that was still with group A cars. Something else must have happened because nowadays the driving is quite straightforward (driving style & better control of the central diff ?).

GigiGalliNo1
3rd November 2010, 13:28
I think when the cars began having active diffs and newer technologies the driving styles began to change. If you get Loeb in an older car and he tries to drive like he is now he won't be able to. For example Makinen, Sainz and McRae - you got them in the phase when they were competing with new specifications comin from the old; they had to learn how to drive the new cars with a new style . In some cases unsuccessful, but if you get Loeb, Ogier and Sordo who began driving when the old style and regs were phased out and they learnt this straight away from coming from JWRC and not previous gen of WRCars they got their own way of driving and style in the last phase of WRCars. Hope someone agrees? :)

3rd November 2010, 13:54
That`s why next year will be interesting, next years car will demand a different driving style. Allthough I don`t think it will be as in the early wrc days, because drivers also have changed.

N.O.T
3rd November 2010, 14:13
we hear about different driving style all day when changes happen...bottom line is the fast ones are going to be fast and the sick dogs are going be remain sick nommate how big or small the changes are.

I also kept to love the old WRC cars and of course the gr.A era on its end was pretty awesome. Im always still going to miss the WRC cars as an era and hopefully we are going to see them at the memorial events example at factory colours =) . Thanks GigiGalliNo1 for all these great photos!

What comes to the cars, Mäkinen,Latvala and even Kankkunen has said that the car itself is just a completely different package. The chassis just itself and the springs and even the brakes has just has wen´t so much forward. Where the new cars example at the jumps of Finland comes to jumps with high speeds them just lands nicely and keeps going but with the old spec WRC cars like the early Impreza´s,Escort´s,Corolla´s those cars drops like stones from the sky mostly to their nose and the impact for the road looks even nasty. Also of course the technology had made a big impact. Also the cornering speeds are just so high these days and the car just keeps going while on the old days you kinda had to make the cars to turn into these corners and beeing sideways was the quickest way to drive.

I will always still miss the WRC cars,specially the pre WRC cars. My favs has always been in order:

Toyota Corolla WRC(loved 97 model but 98 and 99 were great too)
Ford Escort WRC 97 (Repsol colours were nice.)
Subaru Impreza WRC 01-02 (once again a car many dislikes)
Hyundai Accent WRC´s (liked to all of them and all had great sounds)
Ford Focus WRC 03-05 (just a great looking car,even when some says that its not a rally car.. its more likely by its look a touring car)
Citroen Xsara WRC 01-05 (like the most for 01-02 early models. Wasn´t so succesful yet at its gravel outings but a beast at tarmac. Remember how all were wondering will it be a success or not. 03 then given the answer)

For me, the new Focus (2006 onwards) always gave me the best feeling and memories. I've actually created a somesort of relationship to that car. Especially the all-white test car registered EU07 SUX... Mmmh! :love:

I guess it has many reasons, most likely that it has been the tool of Finnish drivers for the last few seasons. The rise of JML to the big boy league etc. I've also always liked soft setup cars and Focus is a really soft car. I've downloaded dozens of high-res detail pictures in addition to those which I have photographed myself during NORF and tests.

My biggest dream was to ride onboard in one of those, but unfortunately it never happened. Okay, it may still happen someday (I've thought about making some money and buying one to my garage when I'm a pensioner... :D ). But I'd like to thank Jarmo Lehtinen who presented the car (interior) and its systems for me in very big detail during their tests this summer. I felt priviledged. :) I've also been an enthusiastic user of Estonian Focus WRC history page and following where all these beauties go. If the site admin is present here, I'd like to say thank you. :up:

Once I get access to my pictures, I could make a somekind of Focus picture collage to the web...

In 2001 i fell in love with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo XI. It was such a great car in the hands of Tommi Mäkinen... to bad it was not a Wrc car so it doesnt fit into this thread. I can't say that the Lancer Wrc from 2002 was as good as the previous one... but it was something with the apperance of it. Also the sound! That is my favourite Wrc car of all. I cant imagine that it was nine years since the XI was replaced with the XII, Tommi Mäkinens crash in Corsica and the total disapionment of the new car...

I have so much memories from the Wrc era. It has been a couple of fantastic years for sure, but now it is time for something new and i think that we have some amazing years ahead also!

Awsome thread!

Yes, they were driven more sideways. All cars had an active central differential by the end of 1995 and that was still with group A cars. Something else must have happened because nowadays the driving is quite straightforward (driving style & better control of the central diff ?).

There was a hell of a lot of changes happening but it was TOYOTA with the COROLLA WRC who were first to have the 3 active hydraulic controlled diffs. The hydraulic pump in this car was in charge of gear shifting (with famous joystick) power steering and all 3 diffs. There were various versions of COROLLAS running around but the top spec car was like that.

The difficulty was to control the hydraulic pressure at the right time, so the diff is doing what you want when you want.

i'll always have a soft spot for the Hyundai Seat Suzuki and Skoda cars of the WRC sure they may not have been the fastest but they sure do look beautiful and the way they were driven.
And the RedBull Livery looked a thousand times better on the Fabia than it does on the c4/DS3

Awsome thread!

2001 brought out the Lancer Evo VII (7) which Makinen crashed and also last time he had TOMMI on the bonnet during Rally Australia.

I will give it a shot. But anything before the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII (7) was a Group A. car. (Will Daniel approve? This is a WRCar only thread but we will see guys)

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Step 1 (VII/7) which Makinen and Loix had
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Step 2 or Evo2 (VII/7) which Alister McRae and Delecour drove

Then it went WRC04 to WRC05 (Thats the one with the spoiler next to the rear window - Galli, Rovanpera, Panizzi)


i'll always have a soft spot for the Hyundai Seat Suzuki and Skoda cars of the WRC sure they may not have been the fastest but they sure do look beautiful and the way they were driven.

They were the underdogs and we took them for granted. Who cares that they weren't performing that well, drivers or the cars fault them selves but I remember seeing the Skoda getting some good times, Hyundai in the tough rallies like Cyprus and Seat's just looking weird but so beautiful! Suzuki, they never gave it a real shot and shouldn't have stopped trying!

I always had great sympathy for the Octavia WRC , because of it's great looks and sound . As pointed out , such a large car had to be driven sideways to be competitive . Also the Fabia is a beautiful car ;)
The Xsara WRC , especially the last 06 version had great sound , it's always a show whenever I see it .
Love the looks of the Corolla and the pure agressiveness of the Subaru S5-S7 .

The new Focus looks extremely nice but the sound .. I'm sorry but it's horrible ...



That's my comment on the WRC era , some beautiful cars and driving but when the costs became extreme , some terrible cars and driving aswell :)

Great idea!

But maybe it shouldn't say "the best car"? That makes it impossible to choose the Skoda Octavia or the Mitsubishi Lancer Wrc step II... Its not the best car, but i like those cars more than for example the Peugeot 206 or the Citroen Xsara! So maybe "Whats you favourite Wrc car"

You need to put in the link to an image tag

link%20to%20photo%20goes%20here.jpg

Make sure it's no bigger the 800pixels wide!

if I see the preview of the post, it literally shows me link.jpg and not the photo itself :confused:

Just been thinking about bringing some memories back to life! I was watching Acropolis and noticed the Fiesta at points looks like the prev gen Focus... But what got me thinking was in my opinion.. the most Beautiful Ford Focus WRCar that was... starting in 2003.
+1, agree!

Here are some Privateer Citroen Xsara's from the past years... if there are any more pics to be added please do or let me know of any other drivers! Petter Solberg was a hard one... I noticed he went from Silver and black to white and black and silver to then with some yellow just before he got a C4.... :)

Finally I understood how to post photos :D
Anyway, talking about Focus, my favourite Focus Mk1 was the WRC02 with this awesome livery... I really love this colours combination :)
