The FIA World Rally Championship will feature a simpler points system next season which aims to reward overall rally winners with the most points across a weekend, while retaining Super Sunday’s excitement with a slightly reduced allocation as well as the Wolf Power Stage which has kept fans on the edge of their seats since its introduction.
A perfect rally weekend will earn 35 points, five up from this year’s 30, with the overall top ten earning 25-17-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 respectively. Super Sunday has been trimmed back to the fastest five who will receive 5-4-3-2-1, while the Wolf Power Stage remains unchanged at 5-4-3-2-1.
The FIA World Motorsport Council approved the changes on 11 December.
“This updated system builds on the general success of the 2024 format, which delivered unforgettable moments and fierce title fights,” explained Peter Thul, Senior Director of Sport at WRC Promoter. “We’ve made subtle but meaningful adjustments to further reward rally wins and ensure the competition remains as thrilling as ever. Fans can expect even closer battles and dramatic finales in 2025.”
The 2025 FIA World Rally Championship calendar, unveiled in July, features a spectacular 14-round schedule and includes exciting new stops in Spain, Paraguay, and Saudi Arabia.
