World Rallycross cars are savage little blighters: roaring supercar-slaying AWD monsters that from a far enough seem to take the same shape as your average small hatchback.

Video: The savage Audi S1 WRX at FOS 2016
Get up close and personal with Mattias Ekström’s Audi S1 WRX, and you quickly realise that this is no average TDI that you might find sat outside your local hairdressers. Be-winged, Red Bull-liveried and ready for battle, this circa-560bhp beast is an expensive and complicated way to take on a stage, or for that matter, most cars you care to think of in a dash to 62mph. Don't, however, expect it to illuminate your way at night. Those 'lights' are stickers.
Watch, in the video above, as FOS BTCC shootout champ Andrew Jordan takes us through the ins and outs of the S1, and puts it to work up the hillclimb.
