2023 WRC2 Championship

Andreas Mikkelsen won his second WRC-2 drivers championship.

The 2023 FIA WRC2 Championship was the eleventh season of WRC2, a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile as the second-highest tier of international rallying. The category was open to crews with cars complying with Group Rally2 regulations.[1] The championship began in January 2023 with the Rallye Monte-Carlo and concluded in November with Rally Japan, and ran in support of the 2023 World Rally Championship.

Emil Lindholm and Reeta Hämäläinen entered as the defending drivers' and co-drivers' champions, while Toksport WRT entered as the defending teams' champions.[2]

Andreas Mikkelsen and Torstein Eriksen became the 2023 WRC-2 champions, their second title victories in the championship.[3] Toksport WRT 3 took victory in the teams' championship.

Calendar changes

The championship was expected to be expanded to fourteen rounds from the thirteen rounds in the previous season by WRC Promoter GmbH, with eight Europe-based rallies and six fly-away events covering the season.[19] However, when the calendar was released in late November following a lengthy delay, the number of the events was reduced to thirteen with the anticipated Saudi Arabian rally based at Jeddah, absent from the calendar.[20][21]

Several rally organizers also expressed their interests to return to the championship, including Rally Argentina, Rally Australia, the German Rally, and an event in Northern Ireland.[30][31][32][33] The Argentine, Australian and Northern Irish bids failed and Germany organized the Central European Rally along with Austria and the Czech Republic.[34][35] In addition to the candidate events, the WRC Promoter GmbH was also working on the calendar expansion to the Middle East and United States, but no rallies were added for the 2023 season.[36]

Regulation changes

The 2022 junior championships of the class, WRC-2 Junior, were renamed as WRC-2 Challenger to focus on the experience of the competitors instead of age, while the Masters series was opened to Rally2, Rally3, Rally4, Rally5 and R-GT competitors under the WRC framework, ceasing to be based on WRC2.[52]

Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top ten classified finishers in each event. Power Stage points are also awarded in the drivers' and co-drivers' championships, with three points awarded to the first place finisher on the stage, two to second place, and one to third. A team has to enter two cars to score points in an event. Drivers and teams must nominate a scoring rally when they enter the event and the best six scores from seven nominated rallies will count towards the final classification. Registered drivers are able to enter additional rallies with Priority 2 status without scoring points.[1]
