FIA recently confirmed the entry list for the 2011 World Rally Championship.

See wiki for an easy run down. Raikkonen is in with his own team (Ice1 racing) and so is Solberg

New cars for 2011, based around the S2000 cars so they're smaller (think Ford Fiesta instead of Focus) and they're 1.6L, but they're turbos and 4WD with better bodykits than the S2000 cars

Some pics of the new cars:

Citroen's main DS3 (Loeb and Ogier)

Ford (factory) Fiesta WRC:

Ken Block's Fiesta :

Oh yeah, and how can I forget. MINI have entered with their new Countryman model (might aswell start calling it MAXI), they've got Kris Meeke (think those Peugeot adverts):

The cars are looking awesome this season. They've got the wide wheel arch bodykits and everything.

Go Citroen, purely because I like Loeb's WRC C3 on GT5

of all the Minies, why did they use the (EDIT: second-)ugliest one

What is Ken Block doing there? Is he actually going to try real Rally instead of his regular Stunt Driving routine?

I kinda like the Cooper, but the mutations are pretty nasty

Apparently it was always his dream to race in WRC. He has done racing before, check out his wiki. He's won stuff too. He raced in some rallies last season, I think he might do every race this season. He's good enough to be there

I wonder if the likes of Loeb and Solberg could give Block a run for his money at doing the crazy shit Block does

I fell in love with the sounds more than anything else in that vid

There isn't much that sounds better than a WRC class 2.0 engine

I was looking through the tube and found this

TURN IT UP TO 11!!!!

EDIT: Mercedes do know how to make awesome soundtracks though...

forward to 3:42

No Subaru, no Mitsubishi, no Audi, no Lancia, no Porsche, no Peugeot, no Toyota, no Renault, no Fiat.

Glad to see Mini make a return, but ffs the past few years have been fucking boring.

Nascar is so much better than Rally

Prefer watching Suburu/Mitsubishi as Drunkface mentioned. The animosity between the competing teams makes it more interesting.

so randum XD

You still see some Subaru's and shit in the PWRC category, but the glory days of full factory teams running in the proper WRC competition is days gone by. And then you have Loeb dominating shit. Hopefully WRC has seen its worse days gone by now

I don't see why they didn't just give Loeb the lifetime Win award and ban him from WRC... lol...

was just watching the rally on youtube, does anyone know why petter's co-driver was driving during the power stage? dude was going slow as balls

Solberg was caught speeding inbetween the special stages, he was charged under Swedish law and banned temporarily from driving for 48 hours. So he couldn't take part in last bit of the rally. So his co-driver did it

It was the first time he had ever driven a rally, let alone a snow/ice stage. Solberg was just telling him to keep it slow and steady.

The coverage was pretty poor for this rally, managed to watch some highlights on motors.tv though

LOL that is great. And ya it was, they said that it was so cold that their cameras were freezing. Oh well, hoping Block starts to get better as the season goes on.
