WRC to adopt new points system to spice up rallies
The FIA has approved a new points structure for WRC events, which will see extra points awarded on Sundays to add excitement to the final day of rallies. The exact details of the new system will be announced at a later date. Currently, a driver can score a maximum of 30 points at a WRC round. The change is aimed at addressing the perceived lack of appeal and direction in the championship. In addition, the FIA has made other decisions such as allowing a maximum of three hybrid units per season for Rally1 cars from 2025 and implementing changes to the event format and start order to address feedback from competitors. Hankook will also replace Pirelli as the WRC’s control tyre supplier from 2025.
