World Rally Championship Calendar Reduced from 2009
WRC Calendar reduced from 2009
A statement from the FIA said that there will be 12 events in the World Rally Championship from 2009, and that more details regarding this decision will be examined by the FIA World Rally Championship Commission.
From 2012, WRC cars will be four-wheel drive and turbo-charged, based on mass-produced Group N and Super 2000 specification cars.
The statement also added that other cost-cutting measures will be introduced.
The World Rally Championship (WRC) - is a rallying series organised by the FIA, culminating with a champion driver and manufacturer. The driver’s championship and manufacturer’s championship are separate championships, but based on the same point system. This means, for example, that Petter Solberg driving for Subaru can win the driver’s championship but Citroen can win the manufacturer’s championship, which is what happened in 2003, and again in 2006 when Sebastien Loeb took his third consecutive WRC title but Ford won the manufacturer’s championship. The competition first received the designation of WRC in 1973. The sport’s commercial rights are administered by International Sportsworld Communicators.
