Amazing what a 200hp Supra-engine and extensive suspension modifications can do..

This is actually the rallycross car with the most wins of all time, in the Norwegian Championship at least. Petter used it when he won his two championships in the mid 90's, and got it restored a few years ago for his personal collection.

Sorry, but that's probably the most likely rally car.. Most Scandinavian rally drivers started out in one or has raced one at some point. They are still plentiful as we've seen here on jalopnik several times. And since most rally 240's have ended up with a turbo and a lot of weight stripping, they are quite fast.

The problem is that most new cars aren't produced environmentally friendly, and especially hybrids and electrical cars contains a lot of rare earth elements that you have to mine in quite often remote areas (resources which might be better to use for something else), that has to be transported far to factories and…

When you have sub zero temperatures 6 months a year the snow doesn't melt, but gets packed hard on the road. Most of the time the studs don't reach down to the tarmac, but just to the harder layer below the fresh snow. That way a lot of roads don't get damaged, but snow tires without studs don't have as much grip.…

I follow very few car-related so far, but the official FIA World Rallycross account is quite good.

I love that this type of RX-7 is still commonly used in rallycross, hillclimb and such at national level. Sure is something different than all the newer hatchbacks.

While other cars like the Volvo Amazon (powered by a B18 engine with 75hp) had disc-brakes on all four wheels. Optional in 1962, standard from 1965.

My guess: He will drive at least one round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship. The Spanish round to be specific.

Alfasud sprint. It made a pretty hatchback even prettier.

I visited Croatia last summer and I was surprised by the amound of Yugos myself. Probably the cockroach mentality of these cars, though some of them probably weren't running very often.

Well played by North Korea. The Volvo 140-series must be one of the most honest, reliable cars that are quite safe as well. The drivetrain is bulletproof and as long as they keep the rust away these cars can run forever.

Well, to be honest a Lada would be better, but the Volvo might be more reliable and easier when it comes to getting parts.

My guess is that the top of the line R-design package is the one with the fender flares. Not sure if it's called that in the US, but probably something similar.

Fellow rally enthusiast and codriver Dusty Ventures has written a nice article about WRC+. He's from the US, so you should be able to use it as well.

No need to hunt for coverage! WRC has released a feature called WRC+ now, where you can watch streams, GPS position of the cars, times, onboards and rally highlights with a monthly subscription. You have to pay €4.99 per month, but that's not really much if you're interested in rally.

S2000 has been pretty much replaced with R5. The previous Skoda Fabia rally car was built to S2000 regulations. There's a Ford Fiesta R5, a Citroën DS3 R5 and a Peugeot 208 R5, and more manufacturers are looking to make cars for this class.

They will most certainly build a rally version of this. Probably not WRC because of the Polo R, but maybe in the lower R5 class?

Yeah, I've heard that story too.. And after all the P1800 was a lot better, and has proven to be one of the most reliable cars ever built (at least those built in Sweden).

Before the P1800, Volvo made a car called the P1900. Even though it had some problems, they really should have produced more than 67.. Who knows where they are now, except for those at museums..
