New for this year is a league table based on team scores for all classes except Rally1. It's just a bit of extra fun as a number of people were picking teams with just Rally2 drivers.

How do I enter?.

You are automatically entered when you create a FantasyWRC entry. Although for this extra league any points scored by a Rally1 entry will not be included.

Will the points be different?.

No. Points awarded to drivers will be no different to the points awarded for the main league standings. The only exception being Rally1 entries in your team will be awarded 0 points regardless.

Does this change the main competition in any way?.

No. The main competition will continue exactly as it did before. If you're not interested in this extra league that's fine - just ignore it and leave it to folk that want to play along.

Why?

Why not? Any folk that have been kind enough to donate can enter up to 5 entries - so having a Rally2 team may add a new challenge for the upcoming season.

The drivers here have now been updated following the release of the entry list for the Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo. Fantasy WRC 2024 is finally underway.

For those of you new to the site not all drivers are listed here. If there's a driver on the entry list you want to select that is not available here, drop me a note via the contact page and I will add them.

The entry list for Monte is expected next week. Drivers available for selection will be updated here when available but in the meantime you can make a start on creating your team and setting up your personal leagues.

Also, after much deliberation, I have decided NOT to change the scoring format for this competition in light of the FIA changes to championship points. We'll just carry on as we were, and have done for many years prior.

Happy New Year to you all!

In order to spice things up on Rally Sunday the FIA have put forward an alternative scoring method, whereby a portion of championship points are awarded for the standings as at close of play on Saturday, and further points to be awarded for Sunday running only.

I’m still undecided whether it will only complicate matters, or whether it will give us better racing on Sunday. Time will tell.

However thoughts now turn to the scoring here at Fantasy WRC. My current thinking is to leave things as they are as the current scoring system does not take championship points into consideration.

If you have a strong view either way do let me know through the contact page. I will give it some more consideration and make a decision in the New Year once the entry list for Monte is released.

I hope you all have a good Christmas and hopefully see a few of you back here in the New Year.
