Even more than for the F1 one, deciding the annual WRC calendar is very challenging. Forget the politics involved, seasonal and climatic conditions play a big role, then there is the biggie.....logistics. It trumps all other factors. So, while everyone waits for firstly the revised F1 calendar, then the WRC one, the WRC logistics pros are now busily developing plans for several possible scenarios. At the same time they have the immediate problem of what to do with the sea containers now in Mexico!

As many motorsport actors, we have just opted to temporarily close our workshop as a precautionary measure. Take care, stay safe and follow the instructions so we can all meet again on the service parks and special stages as soon as possible!

Does anyone know, is there some line in the WRC rule book about how many WRC events has to happen from the original calendar that we can crown a new world champion? I can imagine that they would cancel the season if it stays like this and we have driven only 3 events. But hopefully everything gets better and we can continue somewhere around summer. But what happens then, when the situation stays like this longer?

Didnt find it in rules.

But F1 needs 8 events to crown a champion. So 8 out of 22.

Anyway, if the season is over, or struck for almost six months or so, FIA have to postpone WRC rulechanges as well, don´t they?

Could rallies like spain have 2 rallies in one? 1 gravel and 1 tarmac, with separeted points, maybe also a total points, so we get 3in1?

I'd suggest a counter point, that digesting and planning for new regulations are one of the things that is easier for them to work on with the current break.
