The regular season will run until the end of July and culminate during the Rally Finland, followed by the Grand Final later in the year. Check out the calendar below!
Like last year, every rally will run from Thursday to Sunday and drivers will have 5 attempts to record their best time. Each round will usually contain of a Super Special Stage (or a Special stage in the case of Rally Wales GB, Rally Monte Carlo and Tour de Corse) and one of the new Epic Stages.
