2016 WRC2 Championship

The 2016 FIA WRC2 Championship was the fourth season of WRC2, a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, ran in support of the World Rally Championship. The Championship was open to cars complying with R4, R5, and Super 2000 regulations. The Championship was composed of thirteen rallies, and drivers and teams had to nominate a maximum of seven events. The best six results counted towards the championship.^[1]

After winning in 2015 and 2014, Nasser Al-Attiyah did not participate in the 2016 season. The Qatari driver decided to focus on the 2016 Dakar Rally and on training for the 2016 Summer Olympics, in attempt to win a medal in the Men's Skeet event.^[2]

Calendar

The calendar was announced in November 2015 by the FIA.^[3] The season was scheduled to expand with one rally in comparison to the 2015 championship, contested over fourteen rounds in Europe, the Americas, Oceania and Asia,^[4]^[5] but the Chinese round was ultimately cancelled.

Notes

^1 – Rally Sweden was shortened due to warm weather conditions turning frozen roads into soft, muddy gravel and making the studded tyres unsafe to use.^[6]
^2 – Rally China was cancelled due to weather damage caused by torrential storms and flooding in July.^[7]
^3 – The route of Rally Australia was shortened following concerns over dust reducing visibility in forest stages.

Calendar changes

Rally Australia was moved from its September date to November to become the final round of the championship.^[5]
The calendar was to be expanded to fourteen rounds in 2016,^[8] with the inclusion of the Rally of China, seventeen years after its only appearance as a round of the WRC.^[9]^[10]
The Tour de Corse relocated its headquarters from Corte to Bastia, which features a brand-new route.^[11]

Regulation changes

The Production Cup for Drivers and Co-driver will be discontinued after 2015.^[12]
