The 1990's saw a handful of FWD cars compete in the World Rally Championship. Dubbed 'the kit cars,' these overpowered, understeering rally cars were known for their prowess on tarmac and for the unforgettable noise they made. The video, which comes to us courtesy of The Rally Channel, highlights the 1999 French Rally Championship, in particular the Citroen Xsara, Peugeot 306 Maxi and Renault Megan // [comment]

The FF2000 "kit cars" actually took outright victory over the WRC cars at a couple of the tarmac rallies (such as Catalunya and Corsica) during the late 90s, much to the dismay of guys like Colin McRae! I have a particular like for the Xsara, but I've always liked 2WD tarmac rally cars. Great video!
