FIA ratifies key 2027 WRC sporting regulations

The FIA has ratified key 2027 WRC sporting regulations ahead of the introduction of new technical rules for the World Rally Championship. The regulations include the introduction of all-new WRC27 cars and updated Rally2 kit cars in the top category, which will retain the Rally1 moniker. The top class will see both WRC Cars and WRC Kit Cars built to two sets of regulations, with the latter being cheaper to produce.

Additionally, a revised WRC Teams' title has been introduced, open to all Rally1 competitors but contested over seven nominated events. The WRC2, WRC3, and WRC Master Cup titles will continue to be retained for the 2027 campaign. The FIA has also outlined new homologation and technical regulations for its entry-level Rally6 cars, which are designed to reduce the cost of entering competitive rallying.
