From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2015 FIA WRC2 Championship was the third season of WRC2 , a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile , running in support of the World Rally Championship . The Championship was open to cars complying with R4 , R5 , and Super 2000 regulations. The Championship was composed by thirteen Rallies; and Drivers and Teams must nominate a maximum of seven event. The best six results are counted towards the championship.[ 1]
Nasser Al-Attiyah is the defending champion, as he won the 2014 title by just three points.
The 2015 calendar was announced at a meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Beijing in September 2014.[ 2] The season maintained the same rallies as the 2014 season and was contested over thirteen rounds in Europe, the Americas and Oceania.

Notes:
^1 — The Rallies of Germany and France were provisional inclusions subject to negotiation of a new agreement between their organisers and series promoters.[ 2]
In the WRC 2 and WRC 3 Championships for Teams, only the best placed car in a team will be taken into account for points.[ 6]
A car which has not started from the start line within 20 seconds will be considered as retired and will be able to restart under Rally 2 on the subsequent day.[ 6]
The transmission of performance data or information to or from a competing car, not in relation with safety, is forbidden during special stages to help promote greater competition.[ 6]
