OK I forgot that one :D It's very hard to list ALL the cars you'd want without a list of rally cars in front of you :(

For those of us who bothers with (small but important) details. The Celica ST185 is not named GT4. It`s correct name is Celica Turbo 4WD. The two others, ST165 and ST205 are GT4`s. I see even Daniel is wrong on this....
My list:
1. Toyota Corolla WRC (the ultimate boy-racer among WRC`s)
2. Skoda Fabia WRC (just fabulous)
3. Lada Samara 1300 (ugliest and slowest car I ever sat in, but great fun!!)
4. Ford Escort Cosworth (really loud)
My choice is among cars I`ve sat in and codriven during 30 years of rallying. I wouldn`t mind a couple of the Group B-cars or a Lancia Stratos if I had picked among those.

Duly noted :up: :) Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it always annoys me when people get small but important details like this wrong.

For me it is the ST 165 that is on top of the celicas, both for looks and merit !

But it is hard to cram in just with 4, maybe top 10 is better ?

I beg to differ.

Check out the rear shot on this car ad.

The rear of that car is as delivered from the factory here in Australia. Perhaps it is different in Europe, but they've always been called GT Fours in Australia. I've owned two myself (an ST185 and an ST205).

My list would be.

1. 99 Subaru WRC
2. Alpine A110
3. Escort Mk1
4. Delta Integrale

That is not a Group B car but a Group A rallycross special. It's one awesome car though, one of my all time favourites in Rallycross.

I will give an old RAC Rally programme a look, but I do seem to remember them being known as a Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD on the entry list.
The models before and after are GT4's.

As for Rallycars I always dreamed about the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth. Other nice cars, Peugeot 206 WRC, Mercedes 450 SLC, Metro 6r4, both Alpines, Lancia Delta.

Hmm. Looks like I either want very round cars or very square ones...

Might just be the hologation name? Just like some people would call the Legacy a Legacy Group A and some would say Legacy RS

It actually seems that we are both right. Consulting the 1993 FIA "Yellow Book", the car is listed with two different names. Homologation no. A/N 5451, Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD/Toyota Celica 2000 GT-Four RC (ST185).
The reason for listing the car with two names could be that identical models produced in Australia (and possibly also USA?) are homologated with their "domestic" names. The cars produced in Japan - which are also the cars marketed and sold in Europe - is called Celica Turbo 4WD (dull name btw.) The factory Gr. A rally cars, built and numbered by TTE, should then be Turbo 4WD`s.

It really is a question of minor details, I admit that, but interesting nonetheless. I have rallied all three Celicas + the Corolla WRC during my career, and they have one thing in common. They are all built like tanks, IMO a great asset when it comes to rally cars.

Certainly is interesting :)

BTW I don't think that the Celica was ever made in Australia.
