notes |
| The WRC use heavily modified cars
loosely based on 4 seaters of which 25,000 plus have been manufactured. The similarity stops there as
each car has 2000cc turbo engine, four-wheel drive and usually 6 speed gear boxes. They produce about
300 bhp and cost in the region of £400,000 each. Cars have minimum weights and extensive saftey
modifications. Greater detail is available at - wrc.com |
