Get Ready for the Thrilling World Rally Championship 2025 Season!

The World Rally Championship (WRC) is back, and this years season, man, it’s gonna be a crazy one! The FIA, or whatever they call themselves, announced the 2025 calendar. There’s new teams, new cars, and new drivers – I’m so hyped! Thirteen rallies, around the world! Can you believe it? I’m already planning my vacation around it.

New Teams and Drivers Joining the Competition

The WRC is always intense, right? This year’s no different. Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT is back with a spankin’ new Yaris N1S, built for WRC2 and WRC3. Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT is sticking around with their new i20 N1, driven by that awesome duo, Neuville and Tänak. M-Sport Ford WRT is back too, with a Puma Rally1 – Gus Greensmith and Esapekka Lappi are gonna be awesome to watch! And Citroën Total WRT? Ogier’s back! With Pierre-Louis Loubet. Seriously, this lineup is insane! I’m already picking my favorite.
