The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has announced significant changes to the regulations for the 2025 World Rally Championship (WRC). A new performance package has been approved for Rally2 cars, allowing them to compete for championship points in the WRC’s premier class. Previously, Rally2 vehicles were ineligible for overall WRC points, competing in a separate category. This decision, made during a recent meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council, aims to increase competition and offer teams a more accessible pathway to the top level of rallying. The new regulations are expected to attract more entries and potentially shake up the competitive landscape. Details of the performance package will be released in the coming weeks, outlining the specific modifications allowed for Rally2 cars to meet the new standards.
