The FIA has also confirmed that the controversial points system introduced for this season will undergo a change for 2025.
This year’s all-new points structure has proved a hot topic among competitors and fans thanks to its complexity and weighting that many feel has devalued the overall rally victory.
The points have been split across Saturday and Sunday, with drivers able to claim provisional points for their overall position at the end of Saturday’s leg which are then banked if they reach the end of the rally.
A sliding scale of 18-15-13-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 was awarded to the top 10 at the end of Saturday, but only to those crews who reach Sunday’s event finish.
In addition to this, Sundays featured a separate points allocation [7-6-5-4-3-2-1] to the top seven fastest crews across Sunday’s stages on top of the 5-4-3-2-1 system for the top five times on the rally-ending Power Stage.
