This weekend the World Rally Championship returns to legendary Monte Carlo. We have a record-breaking world champion, drivers in new teams, new management and the evolution of the Rally1 hybrid monsters.

Fans know how good the sport is, but increasing social media coverage continues to spread rallying to new audiences. And because of all that, we’ve titled this podcast “Is WRC Motorsport’s Sleeping Giant?”

Today we’ll ask:

· Can Hyundai pick up where they left off?

· Will Kalle Rovanpera cope with the weight of being champion?

· Do we have a true 3-way fight for the title in 2023?

Let's get up to speed with our rally man Tom Howard.
