10 Amazingly Awesome Rally Cars We Love

The final World Rally Championship event of the 2010 season runs this weekend in Great Britain. And while we here at Autopia do love the rally cars, we have to admit that in recent years the series seems to be a little lackluster.

Some fans complain about the lack of manufacturers participating (unless you're a Ford or Citroën fan), others simply are a bit tired of watching the Sébastien Loeb show. Several car makers got out with the economic downturn and have fielded teams in the new Intercontinental Rally Challenge, a

development race series for young and amateur drivers with reduced costs.

We're not sure why the WRC is suffering these days, and the truth is it is still exciting to watch a driver drift through the forest at 100+ mph. But we do miss the days when you could expect more than one driver to win the title, or watch many of the world's automakers test their cars on some of the most grueling stages of the world rally championship.

Thanks to the interwebs though, it is possible to take a stroll down memory lane and have a look at some of the more impressive rally cars from an era when more than two manufacturers competed for the rally crown, and a time when dominating meant you won a title here or a title there, not seven in a row.

Above: is there anything quite so awesome as a Group B Rally car?
