The championship was expected to be expanded to 14 rounds,[ 19] howeverWRC Promoter GmbH retained the existing total of 13 events with the reasoning that it would aid participation of more Rally1 cars.[ 20]
The WRC Promoter GmbH was also working on the two key calendar expansions for the future.[ 28]
Progress had been made for the candidate event in the United States, a location that was also aiming to join the championship in 2024.[ 29] The other key expansion wasRally China , which was last featured in1999 . The rally was also scheduled to be held in2016 , but it was ultimately cancelled due to the damage caused by the2016 China floods .[ 30] In addition, the candidate list also included the event in Saudi Arabia,[ 31] where it aimed at a2025 calendar slot.[ 32] The rally was a part of WRC Promoter GmbH's plan to deliver a desert event.[ 33] Rally Argentina was also bidding to return to the championship.[ 34]
