2015 WRC2 Championship explained
The 2015 FIA WRC2 Championship was the third season of WRC2, a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, running in support of the World Rally Championship. The Championship was open to cars complying with R4, R5, and Super 2000 regulations. The Championship was composed by thirteen Rallies; and Drivers and Teams must nominate a maximum of seven event. The best six results are counted towards the championship.[1]
Nasser Al-Attiyah is the defending champion, as he won the 2014 title by just three points.
Regulation changes
- In the WRC 2 and WRC 3 Championships for Teams, only the best placed car in a team will be taken into account for points.[2]
- A car which has not started from the start line within 20 seconds will be considered as retired and will be able to restart under Rally 2 on the subsequent day.[2]
- The transmission of performance data or information to or from a competing car, not in relation with safety, is forbidden during special stages to help promote greater competition.[2]
