Manufacturers will always tell you it’s the manufacturers’ title that matters most in the World Rally Championship. Drivers on the payroll may say the same, but it’s the drivers’ title they covet.
For us fans? Usually it’s the drivers’ championship that piques interest, but the fight between automakers for glory can be equally satisfying – just look at the battle we’re enjoying in 2024.
As we eagerly await the outcome of Hyundai and Toyota’s duel in Japan later this month, we want to look back at some of the greatest manufacturer rivalries and season battles in the World Rally Championship – but we need your help.
Whether it’s the internal-turned-external fight between PSA stablemates Peugeot and Citroën, the immortalized-in-film Group B scrap between Audi and Lancia or Lancia’s Group A battle later down the line with Toyota, we want to know your favorite manufacturers’ battle.
We will then run a series of features on the top five in the days and weeks leading up to Rally Japan.
