It’s the second round of the World Rally Championship this weekend, and the debut of that man Ken Block. So, inspired by the excellent Ten Word Wiki, there’s no better time to have a closer look at the sport’s top characters.

Sebastien Loeb
Remarkably, nearly didn’t win 2009 championship. Not nearly enough though.

Mikko Hirvonen
Loeb’s competition. Has to win it sometime, surely. Hates Loeb?

Kimi Raikkonen
The same as the Formula 1 one? Yes. I see.

Ken Block
An American! Fond of stunts, YouTube and energy drinks. Extreme.

Petter Solberg
Last non-Loeb champion. Has his own team now. Likeable.

Henning Solberg
Petter’s older, crazier, crashier brother. Orange car. God bless Norway.

Dani Sordo
Tarmac specialist. Can nearly driver on gravel too. About time.

Jari-Matti Latvala
Impressively unreliable, but has won a rally. Always good value.

Matthew Wilson
Advantaged by being Ford boss’s son. Disadvantaged by own ability.
