- ^ a b c d The World Rally Archive states that "stage wins before 1978 are not complete, yet."
- ^ Markku Alén's 1978 FIA Cup for Drivers title is not included.
- ^ Sandro Munari's 1977 FIA Cup for Drivers title is not included.
- ^ Includes only timed stage rallies. The World Rally Championship has in the past also featured endurance events where "unachievable" target times were assigned to the stages, and competitors received a penalty point for each minute their stage time was over the target time. At the 1973 Safari Rally, Shekhar Mehta and Harry Källström finished with the same amount of penalty minutes (6 hours and 46 minutes), and at the 1985 Rallye Côte d'Ivoire, Toyota teammates Juha Kankkunen and Björn Waldegård had the same amount of penalty minutes (4 hours and 46 minutes). Mehta and Kankkunen took the wins by tiebreakers.
