The next couple days are going to be pretty exciting with the more powerful and aero tuned cars on the fastest stage in the season.
We're about halfway into the calendar and it's been the closest championship battle in almost a decade. Who do you think will win Finland?
>Kris Meeke went fastest at this stage last year and broke speed records
>Confidence in Toyata for a full cast of Finnish drivers and legend crew chief, Tommi Makinen
>Neuville leading the Hyundai team and deadset for a podium finish
>4 time WRC champion Sebastian Ogier is shrugging off his slower pace from switching to Ford when VW dropped out last year. He's been testing F1 cars so I believe he'll leave the WRC at the end of the season
>9 time WRC legend and Rallycross driver Sebastien Loeb to do some testing for Citroën, but denied that He'll be returning to the WRC

Because they race in the Global Rallycross Championship. Which is a different series than the World Rallycross Championship.
Subaru also races in the GRC, as well as the North American Rally Championship.

As a murican how do I get into WRC and other rallies? I love the series, the cars and concept. But I've never been able to follow a team, series or a driver. It just seems fucking confusing how someone picks a favorite.

Does anyone else go trail driving really fucking fast at night and pretend they're a rally driver?

Honestly I just have a WRC+ membership. They post videos during the stages but with + you can watch dashcams and live stages. I have very rarely seen WRC events on TV here in Murica.
However, you can go to stages here for the North American Rally Championship. Just check the schedule for the closest event to where you live. I've driven to Ohio and Pennsylvania to watch. On youtube, Subaru Rally Team USA has a series called Launch control, and they'll out up half hour videos about the NARC and GRC.

And as far as favorites go, its really just up to you. I'm a Mitsubishi fan, so I naturally root for them no matter what but they've left the WRC for years. On the other hand, Mitsubishi's champion driver Tommi Makinen is the crew chief for Toyota (who haven't been in rally for like 18 years) and they have a couple drivers I like.
Just start watching and based on Driver behaviour and their performance in a rally car and you'll sort out who you like.
