Calendar changes

[edit]

The championship was expected to be expanded to fourteen rounds,[16] however WRC Promoter GmbH retained the existing total of thirteen events with the reasoning that it would aid participation of more Rally1 cars.[17]

The headquarter of the Rally Liepāja at night in 2015.

The WRC Promoter GmbH is also working on the two key calendar expansions for the future.[25]

  • Progress has been made for the candidate event in the United States, a location that was also aiming to join the championship in 2024.[26]
  • The other key expansion is Rally China, which was last featured in 1999. The rally was also scheduled to be held in 2016, but it was ultimately cancelled due to the damage caused by the 2016 China floods.[27]

In addition, the candidate list also include the event in Saudi Arabia,[28] where it aims at a 2025 calendar slot.[29] The rally is a part of WRC Promoter GmbH's plan to deliver a desert event.[30] Rally Argentina is also bidding to return to the championship.[31]

Other changes

[edit]
  • The organizers of the Monte Carlo Rally are set to relocate its headquarters back to Gap in France.[32] The rally was previously based in Monaco.[33]
  • The Kenyan Rally, which took place in June in the previous three seasons, will move ahead to March at the weekend of Easter as the third round of the season.[34]
  • The running date of the Central European Rally was moved two weeks earlier with a headquarter change to avoid the clash with All Saints' Day.[35]

In detail

[edit]

Citroën Racing announced three factory-supported entries in the category, retaining Yohan Rossel and signing Nikolay Gryazin and Marco Bulacia. Rossel and Gryazin's entries will be run in collaboration with Belgian outfit DG Sport Compétition, while Portuguese team Sports & You will run Bulacia's entry.[46][47]

Toksport WRT will run three entries supported by Škoda Motorsport. The German team retains Oliver Solberg and Gus Greensmith from 2023, while Pierre-Louis Loubet returns to the category, moving over from the Rally1 category and M-Sport Ford.[48][49][50]

Sami Pajari left Toksport WRT after the 2023 season. Instead, he will drive the new Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, his entry being run by Finnish team Printsport.[51]

Regulation changes

[edit]

Power Stage points were removed for WRC2 the 2024 season. The FIA cited complaints about the disparity in running order – where the top-five WRC2 competitors would run out of order from the other cars in class – as the primary reason for the regulation change.[52]
