Regulation changes
In the WRC 2 and WRC 3 Championships for Teams, only the best placed car in a team will be taken into account for points.[ 2]
A car which has not started from the start line within 20 seconds will be considered as retired and will be able to restart under Rally 2 on the subsequent day.[ 2]
The transmission of performance data or information to or from a competing car, not in relation with safety, is forbidden during special stages to help promote greater competition.[ 2]
