WRC Factbook 2020

WRC FACTBOOK 2020 PROGRADE PHOTO OF THE YEAR 3 FACTBOOK WRC 2020 As the FIA World Rally Championship approaches its 50th season in 2022, it is timely to reflect on that inaugural year in 1973 and realise how the series has evolved. Back then, the WRC visited Europe, Africa and North America. This season, a refreshed calendar reflects our strategy to further globalise the championship by featuring six continents for the first time. In addition to these three, the 2020 WRC also visits South America, Asia and Australasia. Kenya’s Safari Rally, one of motorsport’s iconic cont ests and famed for picture postcard scenery and exotic wildlife, and an exciting new asphalt finale in Japan provide a presence in the largest two continents for the first time in more than two decades. The season also brings the return of New Zealand, a rally with a long-standing heritage that many regard as among the best in the world. Last year marked a season of firsts. The drivers’ title pendulum swung to Estonia as Ott Tänak won his maiden crown, while Hyundai Motorsport finally laid its hands on the manufacturers’ spoils. So, what of 2020 from a competition perspective? One of the busiest driver transfer times in recent years, headed by surprise moves for Tänak and Sébastien Ogier, brought huge unpredictability into the season. Improvements to the composition of the support championships bring a unique pro-am character to the series. We will provide more media coverage than ever across the new WRC 2, WRC 3 and Junior WRC ladder which provides a platform for talents to climb from entry level to the top. The media landscape continues to change rapidly and we continue to adapt accordingly. Our global TV audience remains strong and again totalled more than 800 million in 2019, while our pioneering WRC+ All Live continues to provide live streaming from every special stage. Website and app now offer improved functionality and these major changes form part of a championship rebrand which sees orange become the WRC’s new highlight colour. Looking further ahead, Pirelli will return in 2021 as the WRC’s exclusive Official Tyre Supplier and the introduction of environmentally-friendly hybrid World Rally Cars in 2022 will be a fitting way to celebrate the 50th anniversary. It’s an exciting future to look forward to – but, for now, enjoy what promises to be another gripping WRC campaign!

4 WRC FACTBOOK 2020 PURE DEVELOPMENT PURE DEVELOPMENT During the last seven years, the WRC has witnessed a significant growth trend in popularity from fans. Sustained by developments on TV production technology paired with innovative footage shot from helicopters and drones, the WRC continues to increase its broadcast hours and TV audience year on year.

7 WRC FACTBOOK 2020 HIGHLIGHTS 2019 KEY FACTS Total TV audience for the 2019 season once more went over 800 million viewers according to research from independent analyst Nielsen Sports. The fact that both the driver ́s and manufacturer ́s title battle went down to the wire contributed to a strong viewership across the whole season. Rallye Monte Carlo ́s iconic season opening alone was watched by just under 100 million viewers, a spectacular number in line with recent years. This was followed closely by Rally Sweden and Rally Spain, with TV audiences around 90 and 80 million respectively. These figures were a testament to the legendary status held by WRC ́s only winter Rally and to the driver ́s title fight having been decided in Catalonia. Japan, which is set to return to the WRC in 2020, solidified its position in the top 10 TV market countries – yet another sign of WRC ́s growth in Asia. The leading global markets for TV were however once again dominated by Europe, where the passion for the sport is stronger than ever.

Ott Tänak & Martin Järveoja Wales Rally GB WRC FACTBOOK 2020 HIGHLIGHTS 9 TITAN TANAK After 15 seasons of French domination courtesy of Sébastiens Loeb and Ogier, the WRC pendulum swung towards Estonia as Ott Tänak claimed his maiden drivers’ title. So often the bridesmaid but never the bride, Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville finished runner-up for the fourth straight season, and the fifth in total. From early in the season, Tänak and co-driver Martin Järveoja had the aura of champions in the making. There were issues along the way, but six wins from 13 rounds, including a mid-season burst of four victories from five rounds, meant the fastest driver reaped his rewards. Tänak’s title ensured Toyota Gazoo Racing’s success continues. The Japanese giant has been back at rallying’s highest level for three years – and it’s won a world title for two of those after 2018’s manufacturers’ crown. The Belgian looked good for a first championship after back-to-back wins in France and Argentina, but a massive crash in Chile dropped him to third. From then on, he struggled to match Tänak’s march towards the title. Ogier made the best possible start to life back at Citroën Racing by winning on his debut in Monte-Carlo. After seven rounds his title defence was on track as he led Tänak by two points. But a frustrating second half of the season, in which a Turkey victory was the only high point, ended the Ogier era.

Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team WRC FACTBOOK 2020 MANUFACTURERS BATTLE 11 MANUFACTURERS BATTLE The feeling in Birmingham at January’s FIA World Rally Championship launch was that 2019 had to be Hyundai Motorsport’s year. Not would be, but HAD to be. After nose-diving from the lead of the manufacturers’ championship to finish second in 2017 and 2018, there was no more room for error. And to ensure that was the case, in came larger-than-life team director Andrea Adamo to guide the Korean ship. Mr Consistent Dani Sordo and Andreas Mikkelsen were onboard and Craig Breen joined the crew for two cameo roles in the i20 World Rally Car in the second part of the season. Arguably it was that strength and Adamo’s skilful driver deployment that proved the key to success. The tactical nous to use drivers on rallies at which they were best-suited was a defining factor. Adamo had plenty of resources in terms of drivers. Thierry Neuville, now five times a runner-up in the drivers’ standings, was aided by a strong support cast which included shock signing Sébastien Loeb. The highlight came with a one-two result in Argentina, where Neuville led home Mikkelsen. There were two more double podiums to celebrate as Hyundai celebrated global title success for the very first time. ITALY FINLAND GERMANY TURKEY GREAT BRITAIN SPAIN AUSTRALIA

12 HYBRID ERA Preparations are taking place for one of the WRC’s biggest development steps in its history with the introduction of environmentally-friendly hybrid World Rally Cars in 2022. The next generation of cars will feature a 100kw electric motor alongside the same 1600cc turbocharged combustion engines in use today. It will allow a mix of electric-only driving between special stages and in urban areas, with a ‘power boost’ function on the stages. The hybrid technology will be common to all manufacturer teams, with the potential for a second hybrid level to be introduced in 2025 which would allow harvested energy to be used in competition and give teams more technical freedom to incorporate their own strategies. In order to make the WRC accessible to more manufacturers, cars can be based on a production bodyshell or a prototype tubular chassis, depending on a manufacturer’s product range and production lines.

Kalle Rovanperä & Jari Huttunen ŠKODA Motorsport WRC FACTBOOK 2020 HIGHLIGHTS 15 SUPPORTING THE SUPPORTS Beyond the headline-grabbing World Rally Cars, there’s a ladder of progression through the WRC which has undergone an exciting facelift for 2020. WRC 2 is one step below the main action and is fought out between professional teams and crews aboard the world’s fastest Rally 2 cars. Drivers choose eight rounds from a possible 10 and must include at least one outside Europe from either Mexico or Japan. WRC 3 is another step below WRC 2. The cars are identical but the competition is made up of privateer crews. The driver stacking up most points from their best six out of seven results carries off the honours. Teenage wunderkind Kalle was the man to beat in the primary WRC 2 Pro category in 2019. A stunning run of four consecutive wins mid-season laid the platform for the Finn’s success in Skoda Motorsport’s Fabia R5. The WRC 2 season was fiercely fought with six different drivers leading the title race through the year. In the end, there were more Škoda celebrations when Fabia driver Pierre-Louis Loubet secured the title by three points from Kajto Kajetanowicz.

The title fight featured three main contenders: Jan Solans, Tom Kristensson and Dennis Radstrom who each delivered jaw-dropping performances throughout the season. The top-three took 79 out of 95 stage wins between them and at least two of the three featured on the podium at every stop on the calendar. Each round of the championship had its own highlights with Rally Sweden producing an unpredictable all-rookie podium. Tour de Corse featured an epic battle for the lead that saw the winner take the lead on the final split of the rally.

Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul were third in a Hyundai i20, the Belgian pair only a single point adrift of the Estonians. Ogier and Ingrassia claimed the maximum five points on three occasions, winning the Wolf Power Stage in Mexico, Argentina and Portugal. They were the only pair to score at every round. Other Wolf Power Stage winners were Kris Meeke and Sebastian Marshall in Monte-Carlo and France, and Andreas Mikkelsen and Anders Jaeger-Amland in Italy.
