Evolution of the Rally Car
The Lancia Stratos New lastly New Lancia Stratos as not in the know, is not quite ready yet, continuing its expansion on track Balocco (Italy) and wind tunnel at Pininfarina in Turin.
To improve its services and its performance, the New Stratos payroll services Tiago Monteiro, Portuguese WTCC driver for testing and engineering for ZF Sachs for the technical part.
In the beginning rally cars were extremely diverse. Some cars exhibited a great deal of customization as well. The biggest change to rally car events has to be the commercialization of the sport. From the beginning manufacturers were entering production line models in the sport. One such example is the 1894 Paris-Rouen which took place primarily between these standard models. Even the Thousand Mile Trial which took place in 1900 saw more entries by manufacturers than it did from private individuals.
One of the biggest steps for rally cars came in 1973 when the FIA created a championship specifically aimed toward manufacturers. This World Rally Championship for Manufacturers proved to be a huge hit. The rally car itself took a true turn in development in the 60's when many companies began to introduce special models of production vehicles made specifically for rallying. One such example that has since become known worldwide is the British made Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S which were created in 1962 and 1963 respectively.
Many manufacturers then began to create special versions of existing cars just for the purpose of winning these rallies. One of the very first models specifically created to win rallies was the Lancia Stratos. To be able to bypass the rules on the entry being a true production model the makers would mass produce just as many as they needed to qualify as a true production car. The first four wheel drive rally car was produced by German manufacturer Audi in 1980 and was named the Quattro. Now there are companies that specialize in rally car experiences in which individuals can either ride in or drive rally cars under controlled conditions for an experience that can last a lifetime.
