FIA announce minor changes ahead of 2020 WRC season

Following its meeting in Cologne, Germany, on October 4, the FIA World Rally Championship has announced the following changes for the 2020 season. * The current WRC 2 Pro class will become the WRC 2 class for manufacturer and private teams, while WRC 3 will be for independent Rally 2 competitors. These developments are designed to simplify the structure in accordance with the FIA Rally Pyramid, to encourage professional teams to enter and to provide a clear path for semi-professional and amateur competitors. * In an effort to offer WRC manufacturer teams more flexibility for the nomination of the drivers who are eligible to score points in a given event, the deadline to specify their decision has been extended to 12:00 on the Monday following the previous event. * The time penalty for every stage or super special stage missed due to a restart has changed from seven to 10 minutes to achieve consistency across all FIA rally championships. The next meeting of the World Motor Sport Council will be held on December 4 in Paris on the occasion of the FIA Annual General Assembly and Prize Giving.
