Revision as of 18:17, 6 February 2010

2010 World Rally Championship season
Previous: 2009 Next: 2011

The 2010 World Rally Championship season will be the 38th season of the FIA World Rally Championship. The season consists of 13 rallies and will begin with the Swedish Rally.

Rule changes

Event organisers are given more flexibility. Rallies can be run over two, three or four days, but must finish on a Saturday or Sunday. Mixing asphalt and gravel surfaces is allowed, either within a stage or within the itinerary of a day.[1] There will no longer be a minimum or maximum distance for a special stage. The total stage distance of the event has been changed to 300–500 kilometres. Night stages are permitted but should not form the whole itinerary of a day.[2]

A WRC Cup for teams with Super 2000 cars will be introduced.[3] Teams need to contest at least seven rounds, including at least one outside Europe.[4] There will also be a new Super 2000 World Rally Championship (SWRC) class for drivers with Super 2000 cars, that will tie in with the WRC Cup.[5]

The WRC will also introduce a ranking system called the Drivers' World Rally Ranking system in 2010, similar to that in golf or tennis.[6]

The controversial 'superally' system allowing crews who have not completed the entire route to feature in the overall classification will be scrapped from 2010. Instead of superally, bonus points will be awarded to the fastest crew through a completed day of a WRC event.[7]

Calendar

The 2010 season includes thirteen rallies, which is one more than 2009. Australia, Argentina, Cyprus, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Italy and Greece are dropped from the calendar for 2010 while Sweden, Mexico, Jordan, Turkey, Germany, New Zealand, France and Japan return to the 2010 season. Bulgaria is part of the calendar for the first time.[8]

The nine events also part of the Production World Rally Championship are Sweden, Mexico, Jordan, New Zealand, Finland, Germany, Japan, France and Great Britain. The six rallies also on the Junior World Rally Championship schedule are Turkey, Portugal, Bulgaria, Germany, France and Spain. The ten rallies on the new Super 2000 World Rally Championship (for S2000 driver) and WRC Cup (for S2000 teams) are Sweden, Mexico, Jordan, New Zealand, Portugal, Finland, Germany, Japan, France and Great Britain.

The FIA published a proposed calendar on 24 September 2009 (with Sunday finish dates),[8] before another calendar was published on 21 October 2009.[9] The final calendar was published on 11 December 2009, with a few minor alterations.[5]
