The cycle consists of a dozen rounds - three-day rallies held around the world. 1)
Tyres
The teams need to prepare all sets of different tyres due to weather changes globally and year round. This means 62 tyres per vehicle, including compounds that are mild, hard and intermediate. 2)
Loudness
WRC Cars along the stages can easily exceed 130 decibels of noise. 80 decibels and more can be dangerous to your hearing. 3)
