What is WRC?

The FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) is the highest level of rally competition in the world, with a history spanning more than 40 years since its establishment in 1973.
The championship began when 13 events, selected from rallies held around the world, were organized into a series and awarded official world championship titles. In regions where rallying is especially popular, such as Europe and South America, the WRC enjoys a level of popularity comparable to Formula 1.
In WRC, drivers race on closed public roads known as Special Stages (SS), using competition cars based on production models, with the goal of recording the fastest time. Unlike circuit racing, cars run one at a time, typically starting at intervals of one to three minutes. These stages are contested repeatedly over the course of three to four days.
The final results are determined on Sunday, the last day of the event, based on the combined times from all Special Stages.
