WRC: Where are they racing and when?

The glitz and glamour of Monte-Carlo will ignite the start of the 2024 World Rally Championship season, but where are they racing this year and when?

With likely contender, Kalle Rovanpera (Toyota) on a part-time schedule this season, the sport may crown a new world champion. 

However, they will have to fight off the 2019 world champion Ott Tanak, and his resurrected Hyundai, on their way to championship glory. 

13 rounds complete the 2024 championship which will span over four different continents; Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. 

So where will the teams and crews be competing and when? 

The 2024 WRC calendar

The season opener will be at the usual season opener at Monte Carlo on 25th – 28th of January. However, this year does come with a difference. 

Whilst the opening ceremony will be undertaken at the famous principality, the meat and bones of the event will be held north west of Monaco, in Gap – home to Sebastien Ogier.

Following Monte Carlo, the events will trickle in through the year with an event per month; Sweden (February 15 – 18), Kenya (March 28 – 31) and Croatia (April 18 – 21).

May will be the first month with two events. Portugal will host their round on May 9 – 12 before the sport crosses the Mediterranean Sea for the Italian round, in Sardegna (May 30 – 2). 

June will host Poland’s first round back to the calendar  on June 27 – 30. Latvia makes its WRC debut a month later, July 18 – 21, with the service park being set in Liepaja. 

In the midst of the summer head, Finland will host the ninth round of the WRC championship on August 1 – 4 before the teams and crews cross the Mediterranean Sea once more for the Greek rally, September 5 – 8. 

At the business end of the season, the teams will cross the Atlantic and head to South America for another round in Chile on September 26 – 29. 

The Central European Rally will stand as the penultimate rally of the season once more, on German, Czech and Austrian roads, from October 31 to November 3.  

2024 will end once more in the winter of Japan with Rally Japan hosting the season finale on November 21 – 24.
