2024 World Rally Championship

The 2024 FIA World Rally Championship is a motorsport championship that is the fifty-second occurrence of the World Rally Championship, an international rallying series organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and WRC Promoter GmbH. Teams and crews compete for the World Rally Championships for Drivers, Co-drivers and Manufacturers. Crews are free to compete in cars complying with Groups Rally1 to Rally5 regulations; however, only manufacturers competing with Rally1 cars are eligible to score points in the manufacturers' championship. The championship began in January 2024 with the Monte Carlo Rally and would conclude in November 2024 with the Rally Japan. The series is supported by the World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3 categories at every round of the championship and by the Junior World Rally Championship at selected events.

Thierry Neuville is the current drivers' championship leader.
Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT (GR Yaris Rally1 pictured) is the current manufacturers' championship leader.

Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen are the reigning drivers' and co-drivers' champions, having secured their second championship titles at the 2023 Central European Rally. However, they would only contest at selected events. Toyota are the defending manufacturers' champions.

After the fourth round, Thierry Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe respectively lead the drivers' and co-drivers' championship over Elfyn Evans and Scott Martin by six points. Adrien Fourmaux and Alexandre Coria are third, a further twenty-one points behind. In the manufacturers' championship, the reigning manufacturers' champions Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT hold a seven-point lead over Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT, with M-Sport Ford WRT in third.

Calendar changes edit

The championship was expected to be expanded to fourteen rounds,[11] however WRC Promoter GmbH retained the existing total of thirteen events with the reasoning that it would aid participation of more Rally1 cars.[12]

 
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.[20]

  • Progress has been made for the candidate event in the United States, a location that was also aiming to join the championship in 2024.[21] Chattanooga, Tennessee is planned to be the rally headquarters and the event would be held on gravel surface.[22]
  • 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.[23]

In addition, the candidate list also include the event in Saudi Arabia,[24] where it aims at a 2025 calendar slot.[25] The rally is a part of WRC Promoter GmbH's plan to deliver a desert event.[26] Rally Argentina is also bidding to return to the championship.[27]

Other changes edit

  • The organizers of the Monte Carlo Rally are set to relocate its headquarters back to Gap in France.[28] The rally was previously based in Monaco.[29]
  • 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.[30]
  • 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.[31]

Regulation changes edit

Points system is confirmed to have a major revision to prevent saving tyres for the Power Stage.[49] The top ten competitors in the overall classification by the end of Saturday are subject to score 18–15–13–10–8–6–4–3–2–1 points respectively as long as they complete a classified rally finish, otherwise these points would be pass to the next eligible competitor.[50] Top seven runners who record least time in an accumulated leader board of Sunday to receive 7–6–5–4–3–2–1 points respectively.[51]

A shorter itinerary of 48 hours would be featured at the Rally Italia Sardegna, which would be a trial run of the compact weekend format that was proposed by the FIA.[52]

Season report edit

Opening rounds edit

Neuville and Wydaeghe won the season opener, where the implementation of the new points system saw them grabbing a maximum thirty points after leading by the end of Saturday, recording the shortest time on Sunday and winning the Power Stage.[53] As championship leaders, Neuville and Wydaeghe were supposed to be first on road at the first leg of the next round, but their i20 was unable to fire up because of a fuel pressure issue before the first stage of the afternoon, leaving title rivals Evans and Martin to sweep the road.[54] This led to controversy as Evans and Martin lost time due to the conditions being first on road.[55] Nevertheless, Evans and Martin still outscored Neuville and Wydaeghe at the conclusion of the event, closing the gap to only three points in the championships.[56] Lappi and Ferm took the victory, ending their winning drought stretching six-and-a-half years, with Fourmaux and Coria achieved their first podium finish.[57]

Toyota responded with a 1–2 finish to Hyundai's back-to-back victories at Safari, extending their championship lead to four points.[58] Neuville and Wydaeghe had a troublesome weekend, but a successful run on Sunday saw the Belgain crew rebuilt their championship leads back to six points.[59] Toyota's championship lead was further extended to seven points with the victory in Croatia by Ogier and Landais,[60] who snatched the lead after the mistakes by rally leaders.[61]
