The most noticeable change to the season schedule concerns the season opener. This will take place in Melbourne for the first time since 2020 - five years ago, the Australian Grand Prix was canceled at short notice due to the coronavirus pandemic. Melbourne is set to host the first race of the season at least five times between now and 2035.
One week after the start Down Under, the first of six sprint race weekends is scheduled in China, each with an additional race on Saturday shortened to around 100 km.
The Grands Prix in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, which were still at the beginning of the 2024 calendar, have been moved to April to accommodate the fasting month of Ramadan.
The European tour, which begins in Imola in mid-May and ends in Monza at the beginning of September, will be interrupted by a short trip to Canada. The four-week summer break in August, with the two-week factory closure for the teams prescribed by the regulations, remains in place.
The 76th WRC season will end on December 7 in Abu Dhabi, as it always has since 2014.
