 Current season | |
TheWorld Rally-Raid Championship (officially abbreviated asW2RC) is arally raid series co-sanctioned by theFIA andFIM and promoted by theAmaury Sport Organisation (ASO).[1][2] The championship's seasons culminate with world championship titles in both automobile and motorcycle categories.
Beginning in 2022, the series replaced both theFIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies andFIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship as the top echelon of the sport of rally raid.[3] ASO will serve as series promoter for a period of five years.[1]
The combined World Championship series was conceived as a result of efforts by theASO,FIA andFIM to harmonize regulations.[4] After a vote by theWorld Motorsport Council to officially makerally raid the seventh world championship under the FIA in 2021, they joined with the FIM to combine their respective international cross-country rallying series into a single World Rally-Raid Championship. The ASO, promoter of theDakar Rally, was chosen by both world-governing bodies as the sole promoter of the series for a period of five years.[1]
The inaugural World Championship officially kicked off with the2022 Dakar Rally[3] and ended inMorocco following revisions to the schedule due to theRussian Invasion of Ukraine, forcing the cancellation of that year'sRally Kazakhstan,[5] and environmental concerns that forced theAndalucia Rally to be rescheduled.[6] The inaugural winners of the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship wereNasser Al-Attiyah andMathieu Baumel withToyota Gazoo Racing as the winning manufacturer;[7] whileSam Sunderland did likewise in the FIM World Rally-Raid Championship withMonster EnergyHonda.[8][9]
The championship consists primarily of two forms of cross-country rallying:
The cross-country baja format continues to be contested in the internationalFIA World Baja Cup andFIM Bajas World Cup competitions, separate from the world championship.
The series covers various categories under both theFIA andFIM.[10][11]
Groups T1, T2, T3 and T4 are eligible for the overall FIA Rally-Raid World Championship titles for drivers, co-drivers, and manufacturers. Additional Group-specific championships are awarded in Groups T3, T4 and T5.
Only riders competing in the RallyGP category are eligible for the FIM Rally-Raid World Championship. World Cup titles are available for champions of the Rally2, Rally3, and Quad categories.
