WRC 50 - THE STORY OF THE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP 1973-2022
WRC 50 - The Story of the World Rally Championship 1973-2022 celebrates fifty seasons of the most spectacular motorsport.
The World Rally Championship marries state-of-the-art technology with endurance and speed in a battle against both the clock and the elements of nature. Rallying is the mother of all motorsport.
Mastering a car on gravel, snow and asphalt, in extreme heat, ice, rain, fog, and darkness is the supreme discipline on four wheels. The World Rally Championship, which has been held since 1973, has entered its 50th season.
Time to look back at these automotive and human legends from Alpine to Integrale, from Colin McRae to Sébastien Loeb, from the wild Group B cars to the technically fascinating Rally1 racers with hybrid drive. It’s all here in this book.
With hundreds of photos from the McKlein archive, of which many are unique to this book, it encapsulates the highs and lows of a half a century’s fight for the WRC crown: the technical development, the dramas, the heroic sagas and the curiosities.
It’s an encyclopaedia of an era of enthusiastic drifting, through to the battle for tenths of a second with the fastest cars of all time travelling on a mixture of gravel roads. A book of stories and pictures about the most spectacular motorsport in the world.
320 pages. 340 pictures in colour and 22 in black-and-white.
