Top Gear magazine has built a rally car. Yes, really. It’s taken us a while because we started with nothing but a completely bog-standard Hyundai i20 1.2 Classic. In white. Our aim is to take it all the way to Wales Rally GB - the last round of the World Rally Championship (WRC) in November - quite an ambitious aim given that at the start of this year neither car, nor driver for that matter, knew what was about to hit them.

This is the story so far.
