The Rally in the 100 Acre Wood is run on some of the most brutally-cut, barely-maintained, baseball-sized gravel roads to be found anywhere. We know. We've done it. Ken Block has done it five times, with considerable success. In this video he's testing the Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle ahead of the...

David Higgins and Craig Drew overcame their lack of winter rallying experience to capture the opening round of the 2012 Rally America series.

Rhys Millen was born into racing awesomeness, grew up in it, and continues to live it nearly every day. So what's new in the Millen repertoire? How about rally car golf, courtesy of his alliance with Hyundai. The Veloster rally car might not seem like the ideal golf cart at first (though there is...

David Higgins will be back with Subaru Rally Team USA

Jari-Matti Latvala isn't exactly a household name in the U.S. unless that household happens to be chock full of rally nuts, but this video should bring him one step closer. The footage shows the 2012 Ford Fiesta RS WRC in testing as the team preps for the return of the Rallye Monte Carlo to the...

For 2012, Subaru's motorsport division, STI will again be paying contingency money for podium finishes in Production Car World Rally Championship competition.

Motorsport is expensive. If you were to write "expensive" in letters the size of the Hollywood sign, you'd only be scraping the surface of how expensive it actually is. It's bad enough competing at grassroots level but at world championship level the money involved is frankly ludicrous. And though...

The crew at Hyundai have put their heads together with ARK Performance for the upcoming 2011 Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA) show, and this is what resulted: a rally-bred 210-horsepower 2012 Veloster with a boatload of upgrades and a funky paintjob. For those that think rally cars...

A Nissan Leaf will be the first electric car entered into the Cannonball Ireland charity rally.

It doesn't seem like it's been four years since one of the greatest rally drivers to have turned a gravel-chucking wheel died in a private helicopter accident: Colin McRae's death in 2007 still feels fresh to rally fans. And now it's been ruled his fault by British authorities. The latest word on...

Subaru rally driver David Higgins sets a new record run up the Mt. Washington Climb to the Clouds, now captured on official video.

Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins won the Rally America national championship this year, and along the way created a number of highlights. This video captures many of them.

This weekend, the sport of European-style rallycross headed to the streets of Los Angeles, but unlike road racers on a city street circuit, the rallycrossers faced the challenge of dirt and gravel strewn in strategic locations among other obstacles. The action was pretty intense, but if you were...

McRae Buggy and Tim Coronel are working on the first electric buggy for the 2012 Dakar Rally, and it finally got the chance to test in some real race conditions at the 2011 Spanish Baja, running as the opening car for the Super Special stage. With a base weight of just 1,440 pounds for the McRae...

Ford's insane versions of the Fiesta for Ken Block's Gymkhana and WRC cars are nothing short of mind-blowing in their ability to generate power and turn it into tire smoke, especially considering the tiny displacement of the turbo hatch. The latest take on the uber-Fiesta is a "hybrid function hoon...

Two-wheel drive, supercharged, and sideways in the dirt. That's the future of at least one Lotus model, according to the latest reports. The company is said to be planning an Exige-based rally car for IRC or WRC competition. Combining two of our favorite things in the world (lightweight British...

Mark Higgins just set the fastest lap time around the Isle of Man TT, and now his brother David has set the Mt. Washington hillclimb record--both in Subarus.

The first season of the Global RallyCross Championship is drawing to a close, but there's still some action to see with the Last Chance Pikes Peak event on TV this weekend.

MINI's return to the World Rally Championship is already underway this weekend in Sardinia, Italy, and so far--aside from a few hitches--it's going well. Dani Sordo and co-driver Carlos del Barrio are currently in sixth place after the first eight stages, with an eye toward a fifth place finish...

Earlier today we brought you the first scant official details on Volkswagen's 2013 World Rally Championship entry, the Polo R WRC, and now we have the official preview video of the car's design and unveiling. Showing little more than some cryptic sketching and small cuts of in-car video, both...
