Calendar changes

The championship was expected to be expanded to 14 rounds, however WRC Promoter GmbH retained the existing total of 13 events with the reasoning that it would aid participation of more Rally1 cars.

The WRC Promoter GmbH was also working on the two key calendar expansions for the future.

  • Progress had been made for the candidate event in the United States, a location that was also aiming to join the championship in 2024.
  • The other key expansion was Rally China, which was last featured in 1999. The rally was also scheduled to be held in 2016, but it was ultimately cancelled due to the damage caused by the 2016 China floods.

In addition, the candidate list also included the event in Saudi Arabia, where it aimed at a 2025 calendar slot. The rally was a part of WRC Promoter GmbH's plan to deliver a desert event. Rally Argentina was also bidding to return to the championship.

Other changes

  • The organizers of the Monte Carlo Rally relocated its headquarters back to Gap in France. The rally was previously based in Monaco.
  • The Kenyan Rally, which took place in June in the previous three seasons, moved ahead to March at the weekend of Easter as the third round of the season.
  • The running date of the Central European Rally was moved two weeks earlier with a headquarter change to avoid the clash with All Saints' Day.
