WRC Calendar 2025

[Morte66]

Well, none of the tarmac rallies clash with my holiday plans.

[Backa]

What tarmac rally could they break it up with?!

Replacing Sardegna with tarmac Rally Roma di Capitale would be great. Then changing spots of Acropolis and Roma di Capitale.

Canary Islands
Portugal
Acropolis
Roma di Capitale
Estonia
Finland
Paraguay
Chile
Central Europe

It's Rally di Roma Capitale, or just Roma Capitale.
It always felt like a generic asphalt rally to me, I like Sardegna roads more... but rather than having 7 gravel rallies in a row, might as well do the swap.
Another bad thing about this calendar is Saudi Arabia as last round, I would imagine a big cleaning effect for the championship leader in the decisive round. But with Kalle coming back, there's a good chance the championship will be decided by then.

Why the hell did they again put 7 pure gravel events one after another?

Ridiculous ! They learned nothing from this year's constant gripes about road position, sweeping and part-time drivers.

The top guys may as well relax for Monte and Sweden and let the others lead the Championship and open the gravel events.

In the ridiculous eventuality that Ogier wins this year's title, I'd start thinking about a part time program if I were Tanak and Neuville... skipping their weakest rallies and let others open the road. Then watch people complaining than in some events there are 5 Rally1 cars at the start.

ive been thinking the same thing and i wouldnt rule it out.

If Ogier indeed wins the title this year, its a huge blow for the full time drivers and i can see Evans, Tänak and Neuville all thinking they would do the same then.

Like Kalle said, everybody (last WDC's) has done sweeping and no point of whining about it anymore.
Neuville has had 10+ years of this advantage, haven't managed to bring it home and now ONE bad rally.. and max big problem.

If Ogier wins the title this year, then 9 hats off to him! All done by the rules and nothing more to say. Maybe - ,,Learn to drive!''

What tarmac rally could they break it up with?!

You're right, all of the are dead, Corsica, not run since 2019, Ireland, won't come back atm, Deutschland, also last seen in 2019, Ypres-2022....but yeah, no tarmac rallies having the money to run in the summer slot I guess?

Yes, that's why we're criticizing the rules/calendar. If Ogier wins the title this year, it won't be because he was faster, or more reliable than the other title rivals (so far, of course). So far it's because he's had a big road advantage compared to the other title rivals, that even if Ogier DNS here and there it won't matter.
A championship in which it's better to skip rounds than to compete in all of them sounds very silly.

[AndyRAC]

Because they don't know what they're doing.

How does a championship with only 2.5 manufacturers afford 14 rounds? Absolutely deluded.....10 should be the max until they get more manufacturers.

The WEC only has 8-9 rounds......and has all kinds of manufacturers.
