Location changes

edit

The headquarters of the Monte Carlo Rally moved from Gap, Hautes-Alpes to Monaco alone. The rally was previously headquartered solely in Monaco in 2006.[20] Rally Sweden returned to the championship after a one-year absence. Because of a lack of snow, the organisers moved the rally headquarters for the first time in WRC history.[21] It relocated from Torsby, Värmland northwards to Umeå in Västerbotten County.[22] The rally was initially scheduled to cover 303.74 km (188.7 mi) in nineteen special stages, but it was reduced to seventeen in a total of 264.81 km (164.5 mi) due to reindeer movements.[23][5] Rally Italia Sardegna relocated its rally base back to Alghero following a one-off headquarter in Olbia for the 2021 event.[24]

Calendar changes

edit

Rally New Zealand returned to the championship for the first time since 2012.[25] The rally had also secured a spot in the calendar in 2020, but the event was not held in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[26] Rally Japan took the final spot in the calendar. It was scheduled as the final round in 2020 and 2021, before being called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[27][28] Rally Mexico had contracts to hold the WRC event in 2022 and 2023, but the rally was not included on the calendar.[29] A national event was held in the bid of a 2023 return.[30] Rally Chile found itself in a similar situation to Mexico as their contract with WRC Promoter GmbH lasted till 2022. Chile had previously hosted the event in 2019.[31] Rally GB was bidding for a 2022 return as the event was planned to hold in Northern Ireland, but the proposal was ultimately failed.[32]

Sporting Regulations

edit

The following titles were contested within the WRC2 category in 2022:[1]

  • Open Championship for Drivers
  • Open Championship for Co-Drivers
  • Championship for Teams
  • Junior Championship for Drivers
  • Junior Championship for Co-Drivers
  • Masters Cup for Drivers
  • Masters Cup for Co-Drivers

In a change to 2021 rules, drivers could enter the Open and Junior championships independently instead of having to enter through a team. Teams wishing to compete in the championship for teams followed the same rules. For WRC2 Junior championships, drivers must have been born on or after 1 January 1992 with no extra registration necessary. Juniors must not have previously won WRC2 or WRC3, or ever been nominated to score points in the WRC Manufacturers' Championship. The Masters Cup will run alongside the open championship for drivers born on or before 1 January 1972 and who have registered to compete in the cup.

For the Open and Junior Driver and Co-Driver championships, points will be considered from the best 6 of 7 rounds entered. For Teams and the Masters Cup, points from the best 5 of 6 rallies entered in Europe will count, plus bonus points from a seventh round entered outside Europe.[1]

Scoring system

edit

Points are awarded to the top ten classified finishers in each event. Power Stage points are also awarded in the drivers' and co-drivers' championships, with three points awarded to the first-place finisher on the stage, two to second place, and one to third. A team has to enter two cars to score points in an event. Drivers and teams must nominate a scoring rally when they enter the event and the best six scores from seven nominated rallies will count towards the final classification. Registered drivers are able to enter additional rallies with Priority 2 status without scoring points.[1]
