World Rally Championship Calendar 2010
The FIA World Motorsport Council met in Paris on 21 October and decided on e.g. the 2010 World Rally Championship calendar.
The World Rally Championship 2010 consists of 13 rounds, one more than in 2009. The Finnish WRC round Neste Oil Rally Finland is the 8th rally of the season, and it will be driven on 31 July - 3 August. In addition to the WRC aces, drivers of both the Production Car World Rally Championship (P-WRC) and new WRC Cup (for S2000 teams) will compete for glory in the legendary "Grand Prix on Gravel". The young drivers of Pirelli Star Driver Programme will also have chance to experience the fast roads and yumps of Rally Finland.
In accordance with the decisions of the World Motor Sport Council (June 2009), event organisers have been given flexibility to evolve the character of their events to create a unique flavour. Rallies may run over two, three or four days, but must finish on a Saturday or Sunday. Individual schedules will be communicated by event organisers, but for simplicity Sunday is noted below as the current completion date of the rally.
