WRC2 is contested using only Rally2 cars with championships for drivers, co-drivers and teams. Drivers and co-drivers can enter a maximum of 7 events and their best 6 results will count towards their championship tally. Teams ''must'' enter two cars into a maximum of 7 events, only 5 of 6 events entered in Europe will score, with points from a 7th rally entered outside Europe also scoring points towards the championship tally. Power stage points are also awarded. Drivers, co-drivers and teams must all nominate if they wish to be eligible for championship points before a rally and can do so independently. For that reason the same crew pair in the same team may compete in all events in a season yet nominate and score points in different events. Crews competing in WRC2 are given Priority 2 status and run the stages immediately after P1 crews. WRC2 replaced [[Super 2000 World Rally Championship|SWRC]] when [[Group R]] was introduced in 2013 and the eligibility rules relaxed.

Inaugurated in 1973, it is the second oldest of the FIA's world championships after [[Formula One]]. Each season lasts one [[calendar year]], and separate championship titles are awarded to drivers, co-drivers and manufacturers. There are also two support championships, [[WRC2]] and [[WRC3]], which are contested on the same events and stages as the WRC, but with progressively lower maximum performance and running costs of the cars permitted. [[Junior WRC]] is also contested on five events of the World Rally Championship calendar.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is the WRC? – Rally UK |url=https://www.rallyuk.org/what-is-the-wrc/ |access-date=2024-04-20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-08-29 |title=TOTAL AND THE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP |url=https://totalenergies.my/total-and-world-rally-championship |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=TotalEnergies Malaysia |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Naess |first=Hans Erik |title=A Sociology of the World Rally Championship |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |year=2014 |location=United Kingdom}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Hope-Frost |first=Henry |title=The complete book of the World Rally Championship |last2=Davenport |first2=John |date=2004 |publisher=Motorbooks International |isbn=978-0-7603-1954-3 |location=St. Paul, MN}}</ref> A WRC season typically consists of 13 three- to four-day rally events driven on surfaces ranging from gravel and tarmac to snow and ice. Each rally is usually split into 15–25 [[Special stage (rallying)|special stage]]s which are run against the clock on up to {{Convert|350|km}} of closed roads.<ref name=":2">{{cite web|title=What is WRC?|url=https://www.wrc.com/en/more/about-wrc/what-is-wrc/|access-date=|work=WRC.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ about the World Rally Championship (WRC) |url=https://www.rallyusaofficial.com/blogs/news/faq-about-the-world-rally-championship-wrc |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=RallyUSAOfficial |language=en}}</ref> == The championships == [[File:Volkswagen Motorsport Podium Rally Australia 2014 001.jpg|thumb|Volkswagen, champions of the WRC for Manufacturers, 2014]] === World Rally Championship for Manufacturers === Manufacturers must register to be eligible to score in the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers and must compete in every rally of the season with [[Group Rally1]] specification cars ([[World Rally Car]] between 1997 and 2021). As the manufacturers use the highest performance car and usually employ the best drivers it is usually the case that these crews and cars take the majority of drivers/co-drivers championship points. Thus, combined with the money invested by the manufacturer teams, promotion of the WRC only tends to include the manufacturer crews and privateers in the Rally1 car or World Rally Car. These crews are given Priority 1 (P1) status on rallies and contest the stages before other crews. However it is not unusual for competitors in lower performance cars to take points in the drivers or co-driver's championships.<ref name=":0" /> === World Rally Championships for Drivers and Co-Drivers === Any crew entering any WRC rally are eligible to score points in the overall World Rally Championship for Drivers and World Rally Championship for Co-Drivers. This is regardless of car technical class, number of rallies entered or if they are also entered into the support championships. Although co-drivers are permitted to drive the cars at any point during the rally, they must only do so under a 'force majeure'. === Support championships === The World Rally Championship also features support championships called [[WRC2]] and [[WRC3]]. These championships are contested on the same events and stages as the WRC calendar and have tighter restrictions on eligible car criteria. ==== WRC2 ==== {{Main|WRC2}} WRC2 is contested using only Rally2 cars with championships for drivers, co-drivers and teams. Drivers and co-drivers can enter a maximum of 7 events and their best 6 results will count towards their championship tally. Teams ''must'' enter two cars into a maximum of 7 events, only 5 of 6 events entered in Europe will score, with points from a 7th rally entered outside Europe also scoring points towards the championship tally. Power stage points are also awarded. Drivers, co-drivers and teams must all nominate if they wish to be eligible for championship points before a rally and can do so independently. For that reason the same crew pair in the same team may compete in all events in a season yet nominate and score points in different events. Crews competing in WRC2 are given Priority 2 status and run the stages immediately after P1 crews. WRC2 replaced [[Super 2000 World Rally Championship|SWRC]] when [[Group R]] was introduced in 2013 and the eligibility rules relaxed. In 2023, WRC2 Challenger Driver and Co-Driver Championships will run for WRC2 drivers who have not won the series before, or who have not driven for a manufacturer entry in the previous 5 years. ==== WRC3 ==== {{Main|WRC3}} WRC3 is contested using only [[Group Rally3]] cars (Group Rally2 in 2020 and 2021), with championships for drivers and co-drivers. Designed for privateer drivers, WRC3 has lower entry costs than WRC2 and there are restrictions on who can enter, testing and professional support received. Drivers and co-drivers can enter up to 5 rallies with their best 4 scoring championship points, and scoring rounds must also be nominated beforehand. Between 2013 and 2018, the championship was contested using two wheel drive cars from [[Group R|R1, R2 and R3 classes of Group R]]. No championship ran in 2019 but was reinstated in its current format in {{WRC-3|2020}}. Crews competing in WRC3 are given Priority 3 status to run after the WRC2 crews. ==== Junior WRC ==== {{Main|Junior WRC}} [[File:DennisRådströmRallySweden2020(2).jpg|thumb|Dennis Rådström, Junior WRC, Rally Sweden 2020]][[Junior WRC]] is an arrive-and-drive format championship run over 5 events of the WRC calendar using Ford Fiesta Rally3 cars provided by [[M-Sport]]. Drivers have to be under 29 and must register. Championship titles are awarded to drivers and co-drivers, though there is no age restriction for co-drivers. The Junior World Rally Championship was previously an open championship for younger drivers in S1600 cars from 2001. In 2011 it became a closed FIA sanctioned championship run by either [[M-Sport]] or Citroën in the current format. Ford Fiesta R2/Rally4 or Citroën DS3 R3 cars were provided, maintained and serviced for each entrant. Championships were awarded to drivers, co-drivers and nations. Only 5 rounds of the WRC calendar were competed with the best 4 results counting towards championship points, although the final round was worth double points. The highest scoring driver from each country registered points for the nations championship. Uniquely for this series, points were also awarded for stage wins. ==== WRC Masters Cup ==== In 2023 the FIA WRC Masters Cup will run for the first time. The cup is open to drivers and co-drivers over 50 years of age and may enter in any WRC eligible car except Rally1. The cup effectively replaces WRC2 Masters Cup which ran in 2022 for WRC2 entrants of the same criteria. ==== Discontinued support championships ==== *The WRC Academy was an alternative name for Junior WRC between 2011 and 2012, the first years the championship became a one-make series before reverting to the Junior WRC name. *The World Rally Championship Ladies Cup ran from 1990 to 1995 and could be won by any class of car.

The series was abandoned due to high costs and the Super 2000 and Super 1600 specification cars that the series inspired later became the origins for SWRC and JWRC. *The [[Super 2000 World Rally Championship]] (S-WRC) was started in 2010 using [[Super 2000]] category cars.<ref>{{cite web|title=World Rally Championship|url=http://wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=d00|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100121020838/http://www.wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=d00|archive-date=2010-01-21|access-date=2010-07-31|publisher=Wrc.com}}</ref> There were competitions for drivers (known as the S-WRC) and another for teams (the World Rally Championship Cup).

The [[1973 World Rally Championship]] was the inaugural season of the WRC and began with the [[1973 Monte Carlo Rally|Monte Carlo Rally]] on 19 January. [[Alpine-Renault]] won the first [[List of World Rally Championship Manufacturers' champions|manufacturer's world championship]] with its [[Alpine A110]], after which [[Lancia]] took the title three years in a row with the [[Ferrari Dino engine#65°|Ferrari V6]]-powered [[Lancia Stratos HF]], the first car designed and manufactured specifically for rallying. The first [[List of World Rally Championship Drivers' Champions|drivers' world championship]] was not awarded until [[1979 World Rally Championship|1979]], although [[1977 World Rally Championship|1977]] and [[1978 World Rally Championship|1978]] seasons included an ''FIA Cup for Drivers'', won by [[Italy]]'s [[Sandro Munari]] and [[Finland]]'s [[Markku Alén]] respectively. [[Sweden]]'s [[Björn Waldegård]] became the first official world champion, edging out Finland's [[Hannu Mikkola]] by one point. [[Fiat]] took the manufacturers' title with the [[Fiat 131 Abarth]] in 1977, 1978 and [[1980 World Rally Championship|1980]], [[Ford of Europe|Ford]] with its [[Ford Escort RS1800|Escort RS1800]] in 1979 and [[Talbot (automobile)|Talbot]] with its [[Talbot Sunbeam Lotus|Sunbeam Lotus]] in [[1981 World Rally Championship|1981]]. Waldegård was followed by [[Germany|German]] [[Walter Röhrl]] and Finn [[Ari Vatanen]] as drivers' world champions. ===Group B era=== [[Image:Rétromobile 2017 - Audi Quattro S1 replica - 1985 - 003.jpg|thumb|left|Group B [[Audi Quattro#Sport Quattro S1 E2|Audi Quattro S1]]]] The 1980s saw the [[rear-wheel-drive]] [[Group 2 (motorsport)|Group 2]] and the more popular [[Group 4 (motorsport)|Group 4]] cars be replaced by more powerful [[four-wheel-drive]] [[Group B]] cars. [[Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile|FISA]] legalized all-wheel-drive in 1979, but most manufacturers believed it was too complex to be successful. However, after [[Audi]] started entering Mikkola and the new four-wheel-drive [[Audi Quattro|Quattro]] in rallies for testing purposes with immediate success, other manufacturers started their all-wheel-drive projects. Group B regulations were introduced in the [[1982 World Rally Championship|1982]], and with only a few restrictions allowed almost unlimited power. Audi took the manufacturers' title in 1982 and [[1984 World Rally Championship|1984]] and drivers' title in [[1983 World Rally Championship|1983]] (Mikkola) and 1984 ([[Stig Blomqvist]]). Audi's [[France|French]] female driver [[Michèle Mouton]] and her co-driver Fabrizia Pons came close to winning the title in 1982, but had to settle for second place after [[Opel]] rival Röhrl. The [[1985 World Rally Championship|1985]] title seemed set to go to Vatanen and his [[Peugeot 205|Peugeot 205 T16]] but a bad accident at the [[Rally Argentina]] left him to watch compatriot and teammate [[Timo Salonen]] take the title instead. Italian [[Attilio Bettega]] had an even more severe crash with his [[Lancia 037]] at the [[Tour de Corse]] and died instantly. The [[1986 World Rally Championship|1986 season]] started with impressive performances by Finns [[Henri Toivonen]] and Alén in Lancia's new turbo- and supercharged [[Lancia Delta S4|Delta S4]], which could reportedly accelerate from 0–60&nbsp;mph (96&nbsp;km/h) in 2.3&nbsp;seconds, on a gravel road.<ref name=":3">{{cite web | author=Biggs, Henry | title=Top 10: Group B rally cars | work=[[MSN]] Cars UK | url=http://cars.uk.msn.com/news/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=147862690 | access-date=2007-12-18 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809194114/http://cars.uk.msn.com/news/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=147862690 | archive-date=2011-08-09 | url-status=dead }}</ref> However, the season soon took a dramatic turn. At the Rally Portugal, three spectators were killed and over 30 injured after Joaquim Santos lost control of his [[Ford RS200]]. At the Tour de Corse, championship favourite Toivonen and his co-driver [[Sergio Cresto]] died in a fireball accident after plunging down a cliff. Only hours after the crash, [[Jean-Marie Balestre]] and the FISA decided to freeze the development of the Group B cars and ban them from competing in 1987. More controversy followed when Peugeot's [[Juha Kankkunen]] won the title after FIA annulled the results of the [[San Remo Rally]], taking the title from fellow Finn [[Markku Alén]]. ===Group A era=== [[File:Lancia Delta Integrale HF 16V Rally Moritz Costa Brava 2018.jpg|thumb|Group A [[Lancia Delta Group A|Lancia Delta HF Integrale]].

A separate Group A championship had been organized as part of the WRC already in 1986, with Sweden's [[Kenneth Eriksson]] taking the title with a [[Volkswagen Golf GTI 16V]].<ref name=":4">{{cite web | title=World Rally Championship for Drivers Champions | work=RallyBase | url=http://www.rallybase.nl/index.php?type=championlist&subchamptype=wcd | access-date=2007-12-21 | archive-date=2008-12-01 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201121157/http://www.rallybase.nl/index.php?type=championlist&subchamptype=wcd | url-status=live }}</ref> Lancia was quickest in adapting to the new regulations and controlled the world rally scene with [[Lancia Delta Group A|Lancia Delta HF]], winning the manufacturers' title six years in a row from [[1987 World Rally Championship|1987]] to [[1992 World Rally Championship|1992]] and remains the most successful marque in the history of the WRC. Kankkunen and [[Miki Biasion]] both took two drivers' titles with the [[Lancia Delta Group A|Lancia Delta HF]]. The 1990s then saw the [[Japan]]ese manufacturers, [[Toyota]], [[Subaru]] and [[Ralliart|Mitsubishi]], become title favourites. Spain's [[Carlos Sainz Sr.|Carlos Sainz]] driving for [[Toyota Team Europe]] took the [[1990 World Rally Championship|1990]] and 1992 titles with a [[Toyota Celica GT-Four]]. Kankkunen moved to Toyota for the 1993 season and won his record fourth title, with Toyota taking its first manufacturers' crown. Frenchman [[Didier Auriol]] brought the team further success in [[1994 World Rally Championship|1994]], and soon Subaru and Mitsubishi continued the success of the Japanese manufacturers. [[Scottish people|Scotsman]] [[Colin McRae]] won the drivers' world championship in [[1995 World Rally Championship|1995]] and [[Subaru]] took the manufacturers' title three years in a row. Finland's [[Tommi Mäkinen]] driving a [[Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution]] won the drivers' championship four times in a row, from [[1996 World Rally Championship|1996]] to [[1999 World Rally Championship|1999]]. Mitsubishi also won the manufacturers' title in [[1998 World Rally Championship|1998]]. Another notable car was the [[Ford Escort RS Cosworth]], which was specifically designed for rallying. It was the first production car to produce downforce both at front and rear. ===World Rally Car era=== [[File:Ss1 5rb.jpg|left|thumb|[[Richard Burns]] in his [[Subaru Impreza WRC]] after a [[Rally Finland|Finnish stage]]]] For the [[1997 World Rally Championship]], the [[World Rally Car]] regulations were introduced as an intended replacement for Group A (only successive works Mitsubishis still conforming to the latter formula; until they, too, [[Homologation (motorsport)|homologated]] a Lancer Evolution WRC from the 2001 San Remo Rally). After the success of Mäkinen and the Japanese manufacturers, France's Peugeot made a very successful return to the World Rally Championship. Finn [[Marcus Grönholm]] took the drivers' title in his first full year in the series and Peugeot won the manufacturers' crown. England's [[Richard Burns]] won the [[2001 World Rally Championship|2001]] title with a [[Subaru Impreza WRC]], but Grönholm and Peugeot took back both titles in the [[2002 World Rally Championship|2002]]. [[2003 World Rally Championship|2003]] saw [[Norway]]'s [[Petter Solberg]] become drivers' champion for Subaru and [[Citroën]] continue the success of the French manufacturers. Citroën's [[Sébastien Loeb]] went on to control the following seasons with his [[Citroën Xsara WRC]]. Citroën took the manufacturers' title three times in a row and Loeb surpassed Mäkinen's record of four consecutive drivers' titles, earning his ninth consecutive championship in 2012. [[Suzuki World Rally Team|Suzuki]] and [[Subaru World Rally Team|Subaru]] pulled out of the WRC at the end of the [[2008 World Rally Championship|2008 championship]], both citing the economic downturn then affecting the automotive industry for their withdrawal.{{Citation needed|date=April 2022}} [[Mini]] and [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] both pulled out of the WRC at the end of the [[2012 World Rally Championship|2012 championship]], due to a similar economic downturn affecting the European market, although Ford continued to give technical support to [[M-Sport]]. [[Volkswagen Motorsport]] entered the championship in 2013 and [[Sébastien Ogier|Sebastien Ogier]] dominated the series with six consecutive titles. Hyundai also returned to the series in 2014. New World Rally Car rules were introduced for 2017 which generated faster and more aggressive cars. In 2018, [[Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT]] won the [[2018 World Rally Championship|World Rally Championship]] earning [[Toyota]] their first manufacturers' title since [[1999 World Rally Championship|1999]].<ref name=":5">{{cite news|title=Rally Australia: Latvala wins as Ogier, Toyota claim WRC titles|url=https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/140149/ogier-defends-wrc-crown-latvala-wins-australia|first=Andrew|last=Van Leeuwen|work=[[Autosport|autosport.com]]|publisher=[[Motorsport Network]]|date=18 November 2018|access-date=8 December 2018|archive-date=29 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181129121600/https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/140149/ogier-defends-wrc-crown-latvala-wins-australia|url-status=live}}</ref> With Tommi Mäkinen heading the team, he became the first person in the history of rally driving to win a Championship both as a driver and as a team principal.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aamulehti.fi/a/201311591|title=Tommi Mäkinen on rallin Midas – näin Puuppolan päälliköstä tuli historiallinen maailmanmestari Toyotan tallipäällikkönä|date=18 November 2018|work=Aamulehti|language=fi|access-date=8 December 2018|archive-date=16 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201216114709/https://www.aamulehti.fi/urheilu/art-2000007318638.html|url-status=live}}</ref> At the end of the following year, Citroën withdrew from the championship after Ogier left the team. [[Ott Tänak]] took the driver's title breaking the French Sebastien's (Loeb and Ogier) domination of the sport since 2004. Hyundai meanwhile, took the manufacturers championship title and repeated the success in 2020. Ogier returned to championship winning ways for 2020 and 2021 in a Toyota Yaris, though vowed that the new era of Rally1 would not be fully contested by himself. WRC said goodbye to the World Rally Car in 2021 after 25 years. ==Format and structure== === Calendar === {{See also|List of World Rally Championship rallies}} Each WRC season consists of a number of rounds within the same calendar year and should ordinarily include rallies on a minimum of 3 continents.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-06-22|title=FIA could drop 'continent' requirement for world championships|url=https://www.speedcafe.com/2020/06/22/fia-could-drop-continent-requirement-for-world-championships/|access-date=2021-04-05|website=Speedcafe|language=en-US}}</ref> In the past the championship has visited every continent except Antarctica. Most recently there have been about 13 rallies though there have been as few as 7 such as in [[2020 World Rally Championship|2020]] due to COVID-19 pandemic. The rallies are typically driven on surfaces ranging from gravel and tarmac to snow and ice. === Rallies === [[File:Ford WRC sur circulation public.JPG|thumb|[[Ford Focus RS WRC]] on a road section, [[Rallye de France Alsace|Rally de France Alsace 2010]]]]{{Main|Rallying}} The competitive special stages are driven on closed roads which are linked by non-competitive road sections known as liaisons. These roads are open to the public and all road laws of that country must be adhered to. The liaison routes are detailed in a ''road book'' given to each crew and must also be adhered to within a specified time limit to arrive at the next stage or ''time control'' point or else they face penalties. To help organise this, crews carry a ''timecard'' which is filled in at each time control or special stage by an official. An average day consists of a total of {{convert|400|km|mi}} of driving.<ref name="rallyireland">{{cite web |title=What is WRC? |url=http://www.rallyireland.org/wrc/what-is-wrc |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150421045331/http://www.rallyireland.org/wrc/what-is-wrc |archive-date=2015-04-21 |access-date=2008-08-28 |work=Rally Ireland}}</ref> [[File:GB Rally December 2006.jpg|thumb|Cardiff Millennium Stadium super special stage, Wales Rally GB 2006]] In the current era each rally usually consists of between fifteen and thirty [[Special stage (rallying)|special stages]] of distances ranging from under {{convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} to over {{convert|50|km|mi}}, not totalling more than {{Convert|350|km|mi|abbr=out}}.<ref name=":0" /> Any stage which deviates from the character of the rally or ordinary running of a special stage is known as a [[Special stage (rallying)|super special stage]]. These are often short and for spectators or promotional purposes and may be on a different surface such as asphalt on a gravel character rally, or they may be a head-to-head running where two cars start at the same time at different points in a loop format. Since 2021 rallies must consist of only one surface type except where short super special stages are permitted that do not require a change in the car's setup. In the past some rallies such as [[Rallye Sanremo|Sanremo]] or [[Rally de Catalunya|Rally Spain]] have had one day of gravel followed by another day of asphalt stages, requiring substantial changes in the setup of the car. Asphalt setups have 18" wheels compared to 13" on gravel or snow, combined with changes needed to the differentials, suspension travel and geometry. A WRC event begins with reconnaissance (''recce'') on Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing crews to drive through the stages and create or update their [[pace notes]]. On Thursday, teams can run through the [[Shakedown (testing)|shakedown]] stage to practice and test their set-ups. The competition typically begins on either Thursday evening or Friday morning and ends on Sunday with the Power Stage. Cars start the stages at two-minute intervals in clear weather, or three-minute intervals if it is decided that visibility may be a problem for competitors. [[File:Mitsubishi WRT - 2005 Cyprus Rally.jpg|thumb|Mitsubishi service park at the 2005 [[Cyprus Rally]]]] Each rally has one central service park where the cars are prepared and repaired if needed at the end of each loop and [[Leg (rallying)|leg]], however some rallies may organise a remote service and/or tyre fitting zone nearer to the stages during a leg. How much time can be spent working on the car once the rally has started is outlined in the rally's itinerary. Between the days, after a final end of day service, cars are locked away in [[parc fermé]],<ref name="rallyireland" /> a quarantine environment where teams are not permitted to access or work on their cars. === Championship points === Points are awarded at the completion of each rally and contribute towards the world championship classifications, and those with the most points at the end of the season are given the championship titles. Up to the 2023 season, points were awarded to the top positions in the overall final classification of each rally, and from 2011, extra points for the Power Stage were introduced. A new points system was introduced for the [[2024 World Rally Championship|2024 season]] which did not include results in the final classification.<ref>{{cite news|first=Tom|last=Howard|url=https://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/fia-publishes-new-2024-wrc-points-system/10558451/|title=FIA publishes new 2024 WRC points system|work=[[Motorsport.com]]|publisher=[[Motorsport Network]]|date=16 December 2023|access-date=17 December 2023|archive-date=17 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231217060631/https://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/fia-publishes-new-2024-wrc-points-system/10558451/|url-status=live}}</ref> The driver's championship and manufacturer's championship are separate but based on a similar point system. Manufacturers must nominate up to three crews to be eligible for manufacturer championship points before an event. The two fastest nominated crews from each manufacturer form a new classification for the purpose of awarding manufacturer points. Retired crews cannot score points unless they have restarted and it is not unusual for a crew to finish far down the overall classification yet still score manufacturers points. A driver can win the driver's championship driving one car yet a different manufacturer can win the manufacturer's championship which has occurred on several occasions, most recently in 2018, 2019 and 2020. ===Power Stage=== {{main|Power Stage}} First introduced in [[2011 World Rally Championship|2011]], the "Power Stage" is the final stage of the rally and is typically televised live and immediately followed by the rally's podium celebrations. Additional World Championship points are available to the five fastest drivers and co-drivers through the stage regardless of where they actually finish in the rally. The fastest team receiving five points, the second-fastest receiving four points, etc. and the fifth-fastest receiving one. In 2021 manufacturers began scoring power stage points following a similar system to the classification points, where only the top two nominated from each team can be eligible. While normal Special Stages are timed with an accuracy to the tenth of a second, the "Power Stage" timing is to the thousandth of a second.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fia.com/regulation/category/119|title=Regulations - Federation Internationale de l'Automobile|access-date=2018-02-18|archive-date=2018-02-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180218210417/https://www.fia.com/regulation/category/119|url-status=live}}</ref> ===Restarting after retirement=== Crews are permitted to restart the following day if they are forced to retire. For each stage not completed however, a ten-minute penalty plus the winning stage time in the same priority group is added to the overall time. Originally known as ''SuperRally'' when introduced and later renamed ''Rally 2'', the rules allow for a better return on investment for competitors and more action for spectators. The ''Rally 2'' name was dropped in 2019 as restarting became the norm, indeed crews are expected and assumed to be restarting unless they register a permanent retirement with the clerk of the course. The name was also dropped to avoid confusion with the new [[Rally Pyramid|Rally2]] group of car. Restarting is still at the discretion of the organisers, such as meeting safety standards after a heavy accident. ==Cars== [[File:Tour de Corsica 2018 Thierry Neuville 2.jpg|thumb|[[Thierry Neuville]] and [[Nicolas Gilsoul]] at the 2018 Tour de Corse in a [[Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC]]]] The rules surrounding which cars are used in WRC are governed and approved by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]]. From the WRC's inception, cars had always followed a basic rule of being Category I, 'Series Production Cars' with a minimum production requirement to achieve [[Homologation (motorsport)|homologation]] by the FIA. This ceased to be the case when [[Group Rally1]] cars were introduced for the 2022 season. Rally1 regulations placed them in Category II as 'Competition Cars', which are built as single examples for exclusive use in competition. The rules have changed over time to suit economic conditions, for safety reasons, to advance technology, to attract more manufacturer entrants or to better promote the series. Specifications of cars used can be for just one type, such as the World Rally Car, or a Group of similar specifications that differ in performance such as Group R. In 2014, the FIA introduced the current sporting classes to help further categorise the different classes and groups based on performance. RC1 has the highest performance cars whilst RC5 has the lowest permitted at WRC level. To enter a WRC rally in 2022, cars must be homologated in one of the following groups or classes: World Rally Car 1.6L, any of the Groups Rally and R3 or R-GT of Group R<ref name=":0" /> === World Rally Car 1.6L === {{Main|World Rally Car}} Eligible cars with 1.6L [[Fuel injection#Direct injection systems|direct injection]] [[turbo engine]]s and [[four-wheel drive]] built to [[World Rally Car]] regulations. The power output is limited to around {{cvt|280|kW}}. The 'WRC+' cars including the [[Ford Fiesta WRC]], [[Toyota Yaris WRC]] and the [[Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC]] cannot be driven by those who had scored manufacturer points between 2017 and 2021. Earlier WRC cars since 2011, such as the [[Volkswagen Polo R WRC]] are permitted without such restrictions. 2021 was the final season of this specification at the top of the sport, being replaced by Rally1 in the manufacturer's championship in 2022. ===Groups Rally=== {{Main|Groups Rally}} [[File:OliverSolbergRallySweden2020(3).jpg|thumb|right|[[Oliver Solberg]] and Aaron Johnston on Rally Sweden 2020 in a Škoda Fabia Rally2 evo]] The [[Groups Rally]] consists of six rally car specifications eligible for WRC. *[[Group Rally1|Rally1 cars]] were introduced in 2022 and replaced the [[World Rally Car]] as the car permitted in the manufacturer's championship. Hybrid powertrains were introduced for the first time in rallying amongst cost-cutting initiatives such as centrally developed tubular safety structures and simpler suspension and transmissions. *[[Group Rally2|Rally2 cars]], formerly [[R5 (rallying)|R5]] of [[Group R]], are the second highest performance cars and are the sole cars eligible for WRC-2. *Rally2-Kit cars, previously known as R4-kit in Group R, are also eligible for overall entry. Rally2 and Rally2-Kit are within the same sporting category — RC2. *[[Group Rally3|Rally3 cars]] were introduced in 2021 and used in WRC3 from 2022. *[[Group Rally4|Rally4 cars]], formerly R2 of Group R, do not have a specific support championship. *[[Group Rally5|Rally5 cars]], formerly R1 of Group R, do not have a specific support championship. === Group R === {{Main|Group R}} Starting in 2008, a category of rally cars known as [[Group R]] were introduced as a rally only replacement to the Group A and Group N categories which were slowly phased out of eligibility. Cars were classified under one of six categories based on their engine capacity and type, wheelbase, and drivetrain. Group R cars still had to be homologated in Group A or N but have the relevant Group R extension approved in common with other rally formulae. As a result, older cars could reclassify under Group R subject to meeting criteria. With R5, R4, R2 and R1 of Group R being renamed and absorbed by the new Groups Rally, as of the 2021 season R3 and R-GT cars are still currently eligible for overall entry. R3 cars however have been downgraded to RC4 sporting class from RC3, in line with Rally4 cars rather than superseding them.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=2021 FIA World Rally Championship – Sporting Regulations|url=https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/wrcsr_2021_16-12-20_published.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201220155007/https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/wrcsr_2021_16-12-20_published.pdf|archive-date=20 December 2020}}</ref> Neither R3 or R-GT have specific WRC support championships. === Historically eligible cars === {{Main|Group A|Group B|Group N}} [[Image:Acr2011 486.jpg|thumb|[[Fiat Grande Punto]] Abarth S2000]] When the WRC began in 1973, FISA allowed cars from its Group 1 (series-production touring cars), Group 2 (touring cars), Group 3 (series-production grand touring cars) and Group 4 (modified grand touring cars) amongst national classes. These FISA classes were also used in circuit racing and other motorsport championships. The groups formed the basis of new groups in 1982, [[Group N]] replaced Group 1, [[Group A]] replaced Group 2, and [[Group B]] replaced Group 4. Due to the increasing power, lack of reliability and a series of fatal accidents during the [[1986 World Rally Championship|1986]] season, [[Group B]] was permanently banned. In 1987 Group A became the highest performance car and the choice for manufacturers whilst privateers opted for the budget friendly Group N for use in the newly created [[Production Car World Rally Championship]]. A Group N car has won a WRC rally only once - a Renault 5 driven by Alain Oreille won the Rallye Côte d'Ivoire in 1989. Despite the PWRC ending in 2012, Group N cars were allowed to enter WRC2 until 2016 and overall rallies until the end of 2018. In [[1997 World Rally Championship|1997]], the [[World Rally Car]] specification was introduced to ease the development of new cars and bring new makes to the competition. An extension of Group A, the WRC cars were used in the manufacturer's championship, although Mitsubishi received special dispensation to run their Group A models into 1999, and won three drivers and one manufacturers championships whilst doing so. In 2011 changes were made to the World Rally Car, the engine capacity was restricted to 1.6L and the minimum length requirement removed to allow for smaller and cost-effective models. Further changes in 2017 allowed for more aero-dynamics, increased safety requirements and a larger air intake restrictor, which increased the effective power from 300 to 380&nbsp;hp. [[Super 2000]] cars were allowed to enter the overall rallies from 2007 to 2018. They were eligible in the PWRC from 2007 to 2009 before the [[Super 2000 World Rally Championship]] was run between 2010 and 2012. They were also accepted in WRC2 from 2013 to 2016. [[Super 1600]] cars were only allowed to enter in JWRC and on events that the championship was held on up to 2010 before the R2 became the sole championship car. {| class="toccolours mw-collapsed

The ''[[Colin McRae Rally]]'' series introduced in 1998 was the first to incorporate a more realistic [[simulation racing]] feel to the genre. ''[[Rally Trophy]]'', released in 2001 for [[Microsoft Windows]] by [[Bugbear Entertainment|Bugbear]], concentrated on historic cars such as [[Alpine A110]] and [[Lancia Stratos]]. ''[[RalliSport Challenge]]'', released in 2002 for Windows and [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] by [[Digital Illusions CE]], featured classic [[Group B]] cars and [[hillclimbing|hillclimb]] models along with modern WRC cars. The first fully FIA licensed ''[[World Rally Championship (video game series)|WRC: World Rally Championship]]'' was released in 2001 for [[PlayStation 2]] by [[Evolution Studios]]. The video game series had its fifth game, ''[[WRC: Rally Evolved]]'', in 2005. [[Sim racing|Racing simulator]] ''[[Richard Burns Rally]]'', released in 2004 for several platforms, has gathered recognition for its realism. Recent top-selling games include ''[[Colin McRae: DiRT 2]]'', ''[[Sega Rally Revo]]'' and ''[[Dirt 3]]''. ''[[Gran Turismo 5]]'' includes WRC licensed cars from manufacturers such as Subaru and Ford. In October 2010, Black Bean Games released ''[[WRC: FIA World Rally Championship (2010 video game)|WRC: FIA World Rally Championship]]'' which features the cars, drivers and events of the [[2010 World Rally Championship]], including those from the three support categories.

Inaugurated in 1973, it is the second oldest of the FIA's world championships after [[Formula One]]. Each season lasts one [[calendar year]], and separate championship titles are awarded to drivers, co-drivers and manufacturers. There are also two support championships, [[WRC2]] and [[WRC3]], which are contested on the same events and stages as the WRC, but with progressively lower maximum performance and running costs of the cars permitted. [[Junior WRC]] is also contested on five events of the World Rally Championship calendar.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is the WRC? – Rally UK |url=https://www.rallyuk.org/what-is-the-wrc/ |access-date=2024-04-20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-08-29 |title=TOTAL AND THE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP |url=https://totalenergies.my/total-and-world-rally-championship |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=TotalEnergies Malaysia |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Naess |first=Hans Erik |title=A Sociology of the World Rally Championship |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |year=2014 |location=United Kingdom}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Hope-Frost |first=Henry |title=The complete book of the World Rally Championship |last2=Davenport |first2=John |date=2004 |publisher=Motorbooks International |isbn=978-0-7603-1954-3 |location=St. Paul, MN}}</ref> A WRC season typically consists of 13 three- to four-day rally events driven on surfaces ranging from gravel and tarmac to snow and ice.

As the manufacturers use the highest performance car and usually employ the best drivers it is usually the case that these crews and cars take the majority of drivers/co-drivers championship points. Thus, combined with the money invested by the manufacturer teams, promotion of the WRC only tends to include the manufacturer crews and privateers in the Rally1 car or World Rally Car. These crews are given Priority 1 (P1) status on rallies and contest the stages before other crews. However it is not unusual for competitors in lower performance cars to take points in the drivers or co-driver's championships.<ref name=":0" /> === World Rally Championships for Drivers and Co-Drivers === Any crew entering any WRC rally are eligible to score points in the overall World Rally Championship for Drivers and World Rally Championship for Co-Drivers. This is regardless of car technical class, number of rallies entered or if they are also entered into the support championships. Although co-drivers are permitted to drive the cars at any point during the rally, they must only do so under a 'force majeure'. === Support championships === The World Rally Championship also features support championships called [[WRC2]] and [[WRC3]]. These championships are contested on the same events and stages as the WRC calendar and have tighter restrictions on eligible car criteria. ==== WRC2 ==== {{Main|WRC2}} Hello fuck WRC2 is contested using only Rally2 cars with championships for drivers, co-drivers and teams. Drivers and co-drivers can enter a maximum of 7 events and their best 6 results will count towards their championship tally. Teams ''must'' enter two cars into a maximum of 7 events, only 5 of 6 events entered in Europe will score, with points from a 7th rally entered outside Europe also scoring points towards the championship tally. Power stage points are also awarded. Drivers, co-drivers and teams must all nominate if they wish to be eligible for championship points before a rally and can do so independently. For that reason the same crew pair in the same team may compete in all events in a season yet nominate and score points in different events. Crews competing in WRC2 are given Priority 2 status and run the stages immediately after P1 crews. WRC2 replaced [[Super 2000 World Rally Championship|SWRC]] when [[Group R]] was introduced in 2013 and the eligibility rules relaxed. In 2023, WRC2 Challenger Driver and Co-Driver Championships will run for WRC2 drivers who have not won the series before, or who have not driven for a manufacturer entry in the previous 5 years. ==== WRC3 ==== {{Main|WRC3}} WRC3 is contested using only [[Group Rally3]] cars (Group Rally2 in 2020 and 2021), with championships for drivers and co-drivers. Designed for privateer drivers, WRC3 has lower entry costs than WRC2 and there are restrictions on who can enter, testing and professional support received. Drivers and co-drivers can enter up to 5 rallies with their best 4 scoring championship points, and scoring rounds must also be nominated beforehand. Between 2013 and 2018, the championship was contested using two wheel drive cars from [[Group R|R1, R2 and R3 classes of Group R]]. No championship ran in 2019 but was reinstated in its current format in {{WRC-3|2020}}. Crews competing in WRC3 are given Priority 3 status to run after the WRC2 crews. ==== Junior WRC ==== {{Main|Junior WRC}} [[File:DennisRådströmRallySweden2020(2).jpg|thumb|Dennis Rådström, Junior WRC, Rally Sweden 2020]][[Junior WRC]] is an arrive-and-drive format championship run over 5 events of the WRC calendar using Ford Fiesta Rally3 cars provided by [[M-Sport]]. Drivers have to be under 29 and must register. Championship titles are awarded to drivers and co-drivers, though there is no age restriction for co-drivers. The Junior World Rally Championship was previously an open championship for younger drivers in S1600 cars from 2001. In 2011 it became a closed FIA sanctioned championship run by either [[M-Sport]] or Citroën in the current format. Ford Fiesta R2/Rally4 or Citroën DS3 R3 cars were provided, maintained and serviced for each entrant. Championships were awarded to drivers, co-drivers and nations. Only 5 rounds of the WRC calendar were competed with the best 4 results counting towards championship points, although the final round was worth double points. The highest scoring driver from each country registered points for the nations championship. Uniquely for this series, points were also awarded for stage wins. ==== WRC Masters Cup ==== In 2023 the FIA WRC Masters Cup will run for the first time. The cup is open to drivers and co-drivers over 50 years of age and may enter in any WRC eligible car except Rally1. The cup effectively replaces WRC2 Masters Cup which ran in 2022 for WRC2 entrants of the same criteria. ==== Discontinued support championships ==== *The WRC Academy was an alternative name for Junior WRC between 2011 and 2012, the first years the championship became a one-make series before reverting to the Junior WRC name. *The World Rally Championship Ladies Cup ran from 1990 to 1995 and could be won by any class of car.

Neither team held these tournaments in the years they had the rights to manage the JWRC on the FIA's behalf. {| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed toccolours" style="margin: 0.5em auto; clear: both; width: 100%;" ! colspan="53" bgcolor=#ff5c04 | <span style="color:#fff">Evolution of the WRC Championships</span> |- bgcolor=#F1F1F1 |rowspan=2 width=10%| |colspan=7 width=30%| 1970 |colspan=10 width=30%| 1980 |colspan=10 width=30%| 1990 |colspan=10 width=30%| 2000 |colspan=10 width=30%| 2010 | colspan="5" width="6%" | 2020 |- bgcolor=#F0F0F0 |width=1.6%|3||width=1.6%|4||width=1.6%|5||width=1.6%|6||width=1.6%|7||width=1.6%|8||width=1.6%|9 |width=1.6%|0||width=1.6%|1||width=1.6%|2||width=1.6%|3||width=1.6%|4||width=1.6%|5||width=1.6%|6||width=1.6%|7||width=1.6%|8||width=1.6%|9 |width=1.6%|0||width=1.6%|1||width=1.6%|2||width=1.6%|3||width=1.6%|4||width=1.6%|5||width=1.6%|6||width=1.6%|7||width=1.6%|8||width=1.6%|9 |width=1.6%|0||width=1.6%|1||width=1.6%|2||width=1.6%|3||width=1.6%|4||width=1.6%|5||width=1.6%|6||width=1.6%|7||width=1.6%|8||width=1.6%|9 |width=1.6%|0||width=1.6%|1||width=1.6%|2||width=1.6%|3||width=1.6%|4||width=1.6%|5||width=1.6%|6||width=1.6%|7||width=1.6%|8||width=1.6%|9 |width=1.6%|0||width=1.6%|1||width=1.6%|2 |3 |4 |- bgcolor=#F1F1F1 |rowspan=2| '''Overall Championships''' | colspan="52" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" style="text-align:center" | '''Manufacturers''' |- bgcolor=#F1F1F1 |colspan=4| ||bgcolor=#E0E0E0 colspan=2 style="text-align:center"|<small>''FIA Cup''</small> || colspan="46" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" style="text-align:center" | '''Drivers and Co-Drivers''' |- bgcolor=#F1F1F1 |rowspan=3| '''Support Championships''' |colspan=14| ||bgcolor=#E0E0E0 colspan=26 style="text-align:center"| '''[[PWRC]]''' ||bgcolor=#E0E0E0 colspan=6 style="text-align:center"|'''[[WRC3|WRC 3 (2WD)]]'''|| || colspan="5" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" style="text-align:center" | '''[[WRC-3|WRC 3]]''' |- bgcolor=#F1F1F1 |colspan=28| ||bgcolor=#E0E0E0 colspan=21 style="text-align:center"| '''[[JWRC]]''' | | colspan="2" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" style="text-align:center" | '''[[JWRC]]''' |- bgcolor=#F1F1F1 |colspan=20| ||bgcolor=#E0E0E0 colspan=7 style="text-align:center"| '''[[FIA 2-Litre World Rally Cup|2 Litre Cup]]''' ||colspan=10| ||bgcolor=#E0E0E0 colspan=3 style="text-align:center"| '''[[SWRC]]''' || colspan="12" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" style="text-align:center" |'''[[WRC-2|WRC 2]]''' |- |} ==History== {{More citations needed section|date=April 2024}} ===Early=== [[Image:Paris - Bonhams 2017 - Lancia Stratos Groupe 4 coupé - 1976 - 006.jpg|thumb|Group 4 [[Lancia Stratos|Lancia Stratos HF]]]] The World Rally Championship was formed from well-known international rallies, nine of which were previously part of the [[International Championship for Manufacturers]] (IMC), which was contested from 1970 to 1972. The [[1973 World Rally Championship]] was the inaugural season of the WRC and began with the [[1973 Monte Carlo Rally|Monte Carlo Rally]] on 19 January. [[Alpine-Renault]] won the first [[List of World Rally Championship Manufacturers' champions|manufacturer's world championship]] with its [[Alpine A110]], after which [[Lancia]] took the title three years in a row with the [[Ferrari Dino engine#65°|Ferrari V6]]-powered [[Lancia Stratos HF]], the first car designed and manufactured specifically for rallying. The first [[List of World Rally Championship Drivers' Champions|drivers' world championship]] was not awarded until [[1979 World Rally Championship|1979]], although [[1977 World Rally Championship|1977]] and [[1978 World Rally Championship|1978]] seasons included an ''FIA Cup for Drivers'', won by [[Italy]]'s [[Sandro Munari]] and [[Finland]]'s [[Markku Alén]] respectively. [[Sweden]]'s [[Björn Waldegård]] became the first official world champion, edging out Finland's [[Hannu Mikkola]] by one point. [[Fiat]] took the manufacturers' title with the [[Fiat 131 Abarth]] in 1977, 1978 and [[1980 World Rally Championship|1980]], [[Ford of Europe|Ford]] with its [[Ford Escort RS1800|Escort RS1800]] in 1979 and [[Talbot (automobile)|Talbot]] with its [[Talbot Sunbeam Lotus|Sunbeam Lotus]] in [[1981 World Rally Championship|1981]]. Waldegård was followed by [[Germany|German]] [[Walter Röhrl]] and Finn [[Ari Vatanen]] as drivers' world champions. ===Group B era=== [[Image:Rétromobile 2017 - Audi Quattro S1 replica - 1985 - 003.jpg|thumb|left|Group B [[Audi Quattro#Sport Quattro S1 E2|Audi Quattro S1]]]] The 1980s saw the [[rear-wheel-drive]] [[Group 2 (motorsport)|Group 2]] and the more popular [[Group 4 (motorsport)|Group 4]] cars be replaced by more powerful [[four-wheel-drive]] [[Group B]] cars. [[Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile|FISA]] legalized all-wheel-drive in 1979, but most manufacturers believed it was too complex to be successful. However, after [[Audi]] started entering Mikkola and the new four-wheel-drive [[Audi Quattro|Quattro]] in rallies for testing purposes with immediate success, other manufacturers started their all-wheel-drive projects. Group B regulations were introduced in the [[1982 World Rally Championship|1982]], and with only a few restrictions allowed almost unlimited power. Audi took the manufacturers' title in 1982 and [[1984 World Rally Championship|1984]] and drivers' title in [[1983 World Rally Championship|1983]] (Mikkola) and 1984 ([[Stig Blomqvist]]). Audi's [[France|French]] female driver [[Michèle Mouton]] and her co-driver Fabrizia Pons came close to winning the title in 1982, but had to settle for second place after [[Opel]] rival Röhrl. The [[1985 World Rally Championship|1985]] title seemed set to go to Vatanen and his [[Peugeot 205|Peugeot 205 T16]] but a bad accident at the [[Rally Argentina]] left him to watch compatriot and teammate [[Timo Salonen]] take the title instead. Italian [[Attilio Bettega]] had an even more severe crash with his [[Lancia 037]] at the [[Tour de Corse]] and died instantly. The [[1986 World Rally Championship|1986 season]] started with impressive performances by Finns [[Henri Toivonen]] and Alén in Lancia's new turbo- and supercharged [[Lancia Delta S4|Delta S4]], which could reportedly accelerate from 0–60&nbsp;mph (96&nbsp;km/h) in 2.3&nbsp;seconds, on a gravel road.<ref name=":3">{{cite web | author=Biggs, Henry | title=Top 10: Group B rally cars | work=[[MSN]] Cars UK | url=http://cars.uk.msn.com/news/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=147862690 | access-date=2007-12-18 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809194114/http://cars.uk.msn.com/news/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=147862690 | archive-date=2011-08-09 | url-status=dead }}</ref> However, the season soon took a dramatic turn. At the Rally Portugal, three spectators were killed and over 30 injured after Joaquim Santos lost control of his [[Ford RS200]]. At the Tour de Corse, championship favourite Toivonen and his co-driver [[Sergio Cresto]] died in a fireball accident after plunging down a cliff. Only hours after the crash, [[Jean-Marie Balestre]] and the FISA decided to freeze the development of the Group B cars and ban them from competing in 1987. More controversy followed when Peugeot's [[Juha Kankkunen]] won the title after FIA annulled the results of the [[San Remo Rally]], taking the title from fellow Finn [[Markku Alén]]. ===Group A era=== [[File:Lancia Delta Integrale HF 16V Rally Moritz Costa Brava 2018.jpg|thumb|Group A [[Lancia Delta Group A|Lancia Delta HF Integrale]].

Kankkunen and [[Miki Biasion]] both took two drivers' titles with the [[Lancia Delta Group A|Lancia Delta HF]]. The 1990s then saw the [[Japan]]ese manufacturers, [[Toyota]], [[Subaru]] and [[Ralliart|Mitsubishi]], become title favourites. Spain's [[Carlos Sainz Sr.|Carlos Sainz]] driving for [[Toyota Team Europe]] took the [[1990 World Rally Championship|1990]] and 1992 titles with a [[Toyota Celica GT-Four]]. Kankkunen moved to Toyota for the 1993 season and won his record fourth title, with Toyota taking its first manufacturers' crown. Frenchman [[Didier Auriol]] brought the team further success in [[1994 World Rally Championship|1994]], and soon Subaru and Mitsubishi continued the success of the Japanese manufacturers. [[Scottish people|Scotsman]] [[Colin McRae]] won the drivers' world championship in [[1995 World Rally Championship|1995]] and [[Subaru]] took the manufacturers' title three years in a row. Finland's [[Tommi Mäkinen]] driving a [[Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution]] won the drivers' championship four times in a row, from [[1996 World Rally Championship|1996]] to [[1999 World Rally Championship|1999]]. Mitsubishi also won the manufacturers' title in [[1998 World Rally Championship|1998]]. Another notable car was the [[Ford Escort RS Cosworth]], which was specifically designed for rallying. It was the first production car to produce downforce both at front and rear. ===World Rally Car era=== [[File:Ss1 5rb.jpg|left|thumb|[[Richard Burns]] in his [[Subaru Impreza WRC]] after a [[Rally Finland|Finnish stage]]]] For the [[1997 World Rally Championship]], the [[World Rally Car]] regulations were introduced as an intended replacement for Group A (only successive works Mitsubishis still conforming to the latter formula; until they, too, [[Homologation (motorsport)|homologated]] a Lancer Evolution WRC from the 2001 San Remo Rally). After the success of Mäkinen and the Japanese manufacturers, France's Peugeot made a very successful return to the World Rally Championship. Finn [[Marcus Grönholm]] took the drivers' title in his first full year in the series and Peugeot won the manufacturers' crown. England's [[Richard Burns]] won the [[2001 World Rally Championship|2001]] title with a [[Subaru Impreza WRC]], but Grönholm and Peugeot took back both titles in the [[2002 World Rally Championship|2002]]. [[2003 World Rally Championship|2003]] saw [[Norway]]'s [[Petter Solberg]] become drivers' champion for Subaru and [[Citroën]] continue the success of the French manufacturers. Citroën's [[Sébastien Loeb]] went on to control the following seasons with his [[Citroën Xsara WRC]]. Citroën took the manufacturers' title three times in a row and Loeb surpassed Mäkinen's record of four consecutive drivers' titles, earning his ninth consecutive championship in 2012. [[Suzuki World Rally Team|Suzuki]] and [[Subaru World Rally Team|Subaru]] pulled out of the WRC at the end of the [[2008 World Rally Championship|2008 championship]], both citing the economic downturn then affecting the automotive industry for their withdrawal.{{Citation needed|date=April 2022}} [[Mini]] and [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] both pulled out of the WRC at the end of the [[2012 World Rally Championship|2012 championship]], due to a similar economic downturn affecting the European market, although Ford continued to give technical support to [[M-Sport]]. [[Volkswagen Motorsport]] entered the championship in 2013 and [[Sébastien Ogier|Sebastien Ogier]] dominated the series with six consecutive titles. Hyundai also returned to the series in 2014. New World Rally Car rules were introduced for 2017 which generated faster and more aggressive cars. In 2018, [[Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT]] won the [[2018 World Rally Championship|World Rally Championship]] earning [[Toyota]] their first manufacturers' title since [[1999 World Rally Championship|1999]].<ref name=":5">{{cite news|title=Rally Australia: Latvala wins as Ogier, Toyota claim WRC titles|url=https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/140149/ogier-defends-wrc-crown-latvala-wins-australia|first=Andrew|last=Van Leeuwen|work=[[Autosport|autosport.com]]|publisher=[[Motorsport Network]]|date=18 November 2018|access-date=8 December 2018|archive-date=29 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181129121600/https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/140149/ogier-defends-wrc-crown-latvala-wins-australia|url-status=live}}</ref> With Tommi Mäkinen heading the team, he became the first person in the history of rally driving to win a Championship both as a driver and as a team principal.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aamulehti.fi/a/201311591|title=Tommi Mäkinen on rallin Midas – näin Puuppolan päälliköstä tuli historiallinen maailmanmestari Toyotan tallipäällikkönä|date=18 November 2018|work=Aamulehti|language=fi|access-date=8 December 2018|archive-date=16 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201216114709/https://www.aamulehti.fi/urheilu/art-2000007318638.html|url-status=live}}</ref> At the end of the following year, Citroën withdrew from the championship after Ogier left the team. [[Ott Tänak]] took the driver's title breaking the French Sebastien's (Loeb and Ogier) domination of the sport since 2004. Hyundai meanwhile, took the manufacturers championship title and repeated the success in 2020. Ogier returned to championship winning ways for 2020 and 2021 in a Toyota Yaris, though vowed that the new era of Rally1 would not be fully contested by himself. WRC said goodbye to the World Rally Car in 2021 after 25 years. ==Format and structure== === Calendar === {{See also|List of World Rally Championship rallies}} Each WRC season consists of a number of rounds within the same calendar year and should ordinarily include rallies on a minimum of 3 continents.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-06-22|title=FIA could drop 'continent' requirement for world championships|url=https://www.speedcafe.com/2020/06/22/fia-could-drop-continent-requirement-for-world-championships/|access-date=2021-04-05|website=Speedcafe|language=en-US}}</ref> In the past the championship has visited every continent except Antarctica. Most recently there have been about 13 rallies though there have been as few as 7 such as in [[2020 World Rally Championship|2020]] due to COVID-19 pandemic. The rallies are typically driven on surfaces ranging from gravel and tarmac to snow and ice. === Rallies === [[File:Ford WRC sur circulation public.JPG|thumb|[[Ford Focus RS WRC]] on a road section, [[Rallye de France Alsace|Rally de France Alsace 2010]]]]{{Main|Rallying}} The competitive special stages are driven on closed roads which are linked by non-competitive road sections known as liaisons. These roads are open to the public and all road laws of that country must be adhered to. The liaison routes are detailed in a ''road book'' given to each crew and must also be adhered to within a specified time limit to arrive at the next stage or ''time control'' point or else they face penalties. To help organise this, crews carry a ''timecard'' which is filled in at each time control or special stage by an official. An average day consists of a total of {{convert|400|km|mi}} of driving.<ref name="rallyireland">{{cite web |title=What is WRC? |url=http://www.rallyireland.org/wrc/what-is-wrc |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150421045331/http://www.rallyireland.org/wrc/what-is-wrc |archive-date=2015-04-21 |access-date=2008-08-28 |work=Rally Ireland}}</ref> [[File:GB Rally December 2006.jpg|thumb|Cardiff Millennium Stadium super special stage, Wales Rally GB 2006]] In the current era each rally usually consists of between fifteen and thirty [[Special stage (rallying)|special stages]] of distances ranging from under {{convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} to over {{convert|50|km|mi}}, not totalling more than {{Convert|350|km|mi|abbr=out}}.<ref name=":0" /> Any stage which deviates from the character of the rally or ordinary running of a special stage is known as a [[Special stage (rallying)|super special stage]]. These are often short and for spectators or promotional purposes and may be on a different surface such as asphalt on a gravel character rally, or they may be a head-to-head running where two cars start at the same time at different points in a loop format. Since 2021 rallies must consist of only one surface type except where short super special stages are permitted that do not require a change in the car's setup. In the past some rallies such as [[Rallye Sanremo|Sanremo]] or [[Rally de Catalunya|Rally Spain]] have had one day of gravel followed by another day of asphalt stages, requiring substantial changes in the setup of the car. Asphalt setups have 18" wheels compared to 13" on gravel or snow, combined with changes needed to the differentials, suspension travel and geometry. A WRC event begins with reconnaissance (''recce'') on Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing crews to drive through the stages and create or update their [[pace notes]]. On Thursday, teams can run through the [[Shakedown (testing)|shakedown]] stage to practice and test their set-ups. The competition typically begins on either Thursday evening or Friday morning and ends on Sunday with the Power Stage. Cars start the stages at two-minute intervals in clear weather, or three-minute intervals if it is decided that visibility may be a problem for competitors. [[File:Mitsubishi WRT - 2005 Cyprus Rally.jpg|thumb|Mitsubishi service park at the 2005 [[Cyprus Rally]]]] Each rally has one central service park where the cars are prepared and repaired if needed at the end of each loop and [[Leg (rallying)|leg]], however some rallies may organise a remote service and/or tyre fitting zone nearer to the stages during a leg. How much time can be spent working on the car once the rally has started is outlined in the rally's itinerary. Between the days, after a final end of day service, cars are locked away in [[parc fermé]],<ref name="rallyireland" /> a quarantine environment where teams are not permitted to access or work on their cars. === Championship points === Points are awarded at the completion of each rally and contribute towards the world championship classifications, and those with the most points at the end of the season are given the championship titles. Up to the 2023 season, points were awarded to the top positions in the overall final classification of each rally, and from 2011, extra points for the Power Stage were introduced. A new points system was introduced for the [[2024 World Rally Championship|2024 season]] which did not include results in the final classification.<ref>{{cite news|first=Tom|last=Howard|url=https://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/fia-publishes-new-2024-wrc-points-system/10558451/|title=FIA publishes new 2024 WRC points system|work=[[Motorsport.com]]|publisher=[[Motorsport Network]]|date=16 December 2023|access-date=17 December 2023|archive-date=17 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231217060631/https://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/fia-publishes-new-2024-wrc-points-system/10558451/|url-status=live}}</ref> The driver's championship and manufacturer's championship are separate but based on a similar point system. Manufacturers must nominate up to three crews to be eligible for manufacturer championship points before an event. The two fastest nominated crews from each manufacturer form a new classification for the purpose of awarding manufacturer points. Retired crews cannot score points unless they have restarted and it is not unusual for a crew to finish far down the overall classification yet still score manufacturers points. A driver can win the driver's championship driving one car yet a different manufacturer can win the manufacturer's championship which has occurred on several occasions, most recently in 2018, 2019 and 2020. ===Power Stage=== {{main|Power Stage}} First introduced in [[2011 World Rally Championship|2011]], the "Power Stage" is the final stage of the rally and is typically televised live and immediately followed by the rally's podium celebrations. Additional World Championship points are available to the five fastest drivers and co-drivers through the stage regardless of where they actually finish in the rally. The fastest team receiving five points, the second-fastest receiving four points, etc. and the fifth-fastest receiving one. In 2021 manufacturers began scoring power stage points following a similar system to the classification points, where only the top two nominated from each team can be eligible. While normal Special Stages are timed with an accuracy to the tenth of a second, the "Power Stage" timing is to the thousandth of a second.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fia.com/regulation/category/119|title=Regulations - Federation Internationale de l'Automobile|access-date=2018-02-18|archive-date=2018-02-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180218210417/https://www.fia.com/regulation/category/119|url-status=live}}</ref> ===Restarting after retirement=== Crews are permitted to restart the following day if they are forced to retire. For each stage not completed however, a ten-minute penalty plus the winning stage time in the same priority group is added to the overall time. Originally known as ''SuperRally'' when introduced and later renamed ''Rally 2'', the rules allow for a better return on investment for competitors and more action for spectators. The ''Rally 2'' name was dropped in 2019 as restarting became the norm, indeed crews are expected and assumed to be restarting unless they register a permanent retirement with the clerk of the course. The name was also dropped to avoid confusion with the new [[Rally Pyramid|Rally2]] group of car. Restarting is still at the discretion of the organisers, such as meeting safety standards after a heavy accident. ==Cars== [[File:Tour de Corsica 2018 Thierry Neuville 2.jpg|thumb|[[Thierry Neuville]] and [[Nicolas Gilsoul]] at the 2018 Tour de Corse in a [[Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC]]]] The rules surrounding which cars are used in WRC are governed and approved by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]]. From the WRC's inception, cars had always followed a basic rule of being Category I, 'Series Production Cars' with a minimum production requirement to achieve [[Homologation (motorsport)|homologation]] by the FIA. This ceased to be the case when [[Group Rally1]] cars were introduced for the 2022 season. Rally1 regulations placed them in Category II as 'Competition Cars', which are built as single examples for exclusive use in competition. The rules have changed over time to suit economic conditions, for safety reasons, to advance technology, to attract more manufacturer entrants or to better promote the series. Specifications of cars used can be for just one type, such as the World Rally Car, or a Group of similar specifications that differ in performance such as Group R. In 2014, the FIA introduced the current sporting classes to help further categorise the different classes and groups based on performance. RC1 has the highest performance cars whilst RC5 has the lowest permitted at WRC level. To enter a WRC rally in 2022, cars must be homologated in one of the following groups or classes: World Rally Car 1.6L, any of the Groups Rally and R3 or R-GT of Group R<ref name=":0" /> === World Rally Car 1.6L === {{Main|World Rally Car}} Eligible cars with 1.6L [[Fuel injection#Direct injection systems|direct injection]] [[turbo engine]]s and [[four-wheel drive]] built to [[World Rally Car]] regulations. The power output is limited to around {{cvt|280|kW}}. The 'WRC+' cars including the [[Ford Fiesta WRC]], [[Toyota Yaris WRC]] and the [[Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC]] cannot be driven by those who had scored manufacturer points between 2017 and 2021. Earlier WRC cars since 2011, such as the [[Volkswagen Polo R WRC]] are permitted without such restrictions. 2021 was the final season of this specification at the top of the sport, being replaced by Rally1 in the manufacturer's championship in 2022. ===Groups Rally=== {{Main|Groups Rally}} [[File:OliverSolbergRallySweden2020(3).jpg|thumb|right|[[Oliver Solberg]] and Aaron Johnston on Rally Sweden 2020 in a Škoda Fabia Rally2 evo]] The [[Groups Rally]] consists of six rally car specifications eligible for WRC. *[[Group Rally1|Rally1 cars]] were introduced in 2022 and replaced the [[World Rally Car]] as the car permitted in the manufacturer's championship. Hybrid powertrains were introduced for the first time in rallying amongst cost-cutting initiatives such as centrally developed tubular safety structures and simpler suspension and transmissions. *[[Group Rally2|Rally2 cars]], formerly [[R5 (rallying)|R5]] of [[Group R]], are the second highest performance cars and are the sole cars eligible for WRC-2. *Rally2-Kit cars, previously known as R4-kit in Group R, are also eligible for overall entry. Rally2 and Rally2-Kit are within the same sporting category — RC2. *[[Group Rally3|Rally3 cars]] were introduced in 2021 and used in WRC3 from 2022. *[[Group Rally4|Rally4 cars]], formerly R2 of Group R, do not have a specific support championship. *[[Group Rally5|Rally5 cars]], formerly R1 of Group R, do not have a specific support championship. === Group R === {{Main|Group R}} Starting in 2008, a category of rally cars known as [[Group R]] were introduced as a rally only replacement to the Group A and Group N categories which were slowly phased out of eligibility. Cars were classified under one of six categories based on their engine capacity and type, wheelbase, and drivetrain. Group R cars still had to be homologated in Group A or N but have the relevant Group R extension approved in common with other rally formulae. As a result, older cars could reclassify under Group R subject to meeting criteria. With R5, R4, R2 and R1 of Group R being renamed and absorbed by the new Groups Rally, as of the 2021 season R3 and R-GT cars are still currently eligible for overall entry. R3 cars however have been downgraded to RC4 sporting class from RC3, in line with Rally4 cars rather than superseding them.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=2021 FIA World Rally Championship – Sporting Regulations|url=https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/wrcsr_2021_16-12-20_published.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201220155007/https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/wrcsr_2021_16-12-20_published.pdf|archive-date=20 December 2020}}</ref> Neither R3 or R-GT have specific WRC support championships. === Historically eligible cars === {{Main|Group A|Group B|Group N}} [[Image:Acr2011 486.jpg|thumb|[[Fiat Grande Punto]] Abarth S2000]] When the WRC began in 1973, FISA allowed cars from its Group 1 (series-production touring cars), Group 2 (touring cars), Group 3 (series-production grand touring cars) and Group 4 (modified grand touring cars) amongst national classes. These FISA classes were also used in circuit racing and other motorsport championships. The groups formed the basis of new groups in 1982, [[Group N]] replaced Group 1, [[Group A]] replaced Group 2, and [[Group B]] replaced Group 4. Due to the increasing power, lack of reliability and a series of fatal accidents during the [[1986 World Rally Championship|1986]] season, [[Group B]] was permanently banned. In 1987 Group A became the highest performance car and the choice for manufacturers whilst privateers opted for the budget friendly Group N for use in the newly created [[Production Car World Rally Championship]]. A Group N car has won a WRC rally only once - a Renault 5 driven by Alain Oreille won the Rallye Côte d'Ivoire in 1989. Despite the PWRC ending in 2012, Group N cars were allowed to enter WRC2 until 2016 and overall rallies until the end of 2018. In [[1997 World Rally Championship|1997]], the [[World Rally Car]] specification was introduced to ease the development of new cars and bring new makes to the competition. An extension of Group A, the WRC cars were used in the manufacturer's championship, although Mitsubishi received special dispensation to run their Group A models into 1999, and won three drivers and one manufacturers championships whilst doing so. In 2011 changes were made to the World Rally Car, the engine capacity was restricted to 1.6L and the minimum length requirement removed to allow for smaller and cost-effective models. Further changes in 2017 allowed for more aero-dynamics, increased safety requirements and a larger air intake restrictor, which increased the effective power from 300 to 380&nbsp;hp. [[Super 2000]] cars were allowed to enter the overall rallies from 2007 to 2018. They were eligible in the PWRC from 2007 to 2009 before the [[Super 2000 World Rally Championship]] was run between 2010 and 2012. They were also accepted in WRC2 from 2013 to 2016. [[Super 1600]] cars were only allowed to enter in JWRC and on events that the championship was held on up to 2010 before the R2 became the sole championship car. {| class="toccolours mw-collapsed

''[[Sega Rally]]'', released in 1995, as well as ''[[V-Rally (video game)|V-Rally]]'' and ''[[Top Gear Rally]]'' in 1997 were primarily [[arcade racing game]]s with little emphasis on realistic damage or physics. The ''[[Colin McRae Rally]]'' series introduced in 1998 was the first to incorporate a more realistic [[simulation racing]] feel to the genre. ''[[Rally Trophy]]'', released in 2001 for [[Microsoft Windows]] by [[Bugbear Entertainment|Bugbear]], concentrated on historic cars such as [[Alpine A110]] and [[Lancia Stratos]]. ''[[RalliSport Challenge]]'', released in 2002 for Windows and [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] by [[Digital Illusions CE]], featured classic [[Group B]] cars and [[hillclimbing|hillclimb]] models along with modern WRC cars. The first fully FIA licensed ''[[World Rally Championship (video game series)|WRC: World Rally Championship]]'' was released in 2001 for [[PlayStation 2]] by [[Evolution Studios]]. The video game series had its fifth game, ''[[WRC: Rally Evolved]]'', in 2005. [[Sim racing|Racing simulator]] ''[[Richard Burns Rally]]'', released in 2004 for several platforms, has gathered recognition for its realism. Recent top-selling games include ''[[Colin McRae: DiRT 2]]'', ''[[Sega Rally Revo]]'' and ''[[Dirt 3]]''. ''[[Gran Turismo 5]]'' includes WRC licensed cars from manufacturers such as Subaru and Ford. In October 2010, Black Bean Games released ''[[WRC: FIA World Rally Championship (2010 video game)|WRC: FIA World Rally Championship]]'' which features the cars, drivers and events of the [[2010 World Rally Championship]], including those from the three support categories.

These FISA classes were also used in circuit racing and other motorsport championships. The groups formed the basis of new groups in 1982, <a href="/wiki/Group_N" title="Group N">Group N</a> replaced Group 1, <a href="/wiki/Group_A" title="Group A">Group A</a> replaced Group 2, and <a href="/wiki/Group_B" title="Group B">Group B</a> replaced Group 4. Due to the increasing power, lack of reliability and a series of fatal accidents during the <a href="/wiki/1986_World_Rally_Championship" title="1986 World Rally Championship">1986</a> season, <a href="/wiki/Group_B" title="Group B">Group B</a> was permanently banned. In 1987 Group A became the highest performance car and the choice for manufacturers whilst privateers opted for the budget friendly Group N for use in the newly created <a href="/wiki/Production_Car_World_Rally_Championship" class="mw-redirect" title="Production Car World Rally Championship">Production Car World Rally Championship</a>. A Group N car has won a WRC rally only once - a Renault 5 driven by Alain Oreille won the Rallye Côte d'Ivoire in 1989. Despite the PWRC ending in 2012, Group N cars were allowed to enter WRC2 until 2016 and overall rallies until the end of 2018. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/1997_World_Rally_Championship" title="1997 World Rally Championship">1997</a>, the <a href="/wiki/World_Rally_Car" title="World Rally Car">World Rally Car</a> specification was introduced to ease the development of new cars and bring new makes to the competition. An extension of Group A, the WRC cars were used in the manufacturer's championship, although Mitsubishi received special dispensation to run their Group A models into 1999, and won three drivers and one manufacturers championships whilst doing so. In 2011 changes were made to the World Rally Car, the engine capacity was restricted to 1.6L and the minimum length requirement removed to allow for smaller and cost-effective models. Further changes in 2017 allowed for more aero-dynamics, increased safety requirements and a larger air intake restrictor, which increased the effective power from 300 to 380&#160;hp. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Super_2000" title="Super 2000">Super 2000</a> cars were allowed to enter the overall rallies from 2007 to 2018. They were eligible in the PWRC from 2007 to 2009 before the <a href="/wiki/Super_2000_World_Rally_Championship" title="Super 2000 World Rally Championship">Super 2000 World Rally Championship</a> was run between 2010 and 2012.
