WRC2
The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, FIA WRC2 is a support championship of the World Rally Championship (WRC). The calendar consists of the same rallies and stages as the parent series and crews usually compete immediately after Rally1 class crews. WRC2 is limited to production-based cars homologated under Group Rally2 (or previous Group R, R5) rules. There are separate specific championship titles awarded to Teams, Drivers and Co-Drivers (including titles for ''Challengers'' in 2023, previously for Juniors under 30 years old).

History In early 2012, the FIA annulled the contract in place with WRC's promotor ''North One Sports'' followi ...
