The history of rally-raid is experiencing a new era with the unification of the FIA and FIM world championships. After a successful debut in 2022, the World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) is ready for its third season in 2024.
This championship brings together the unique characteristics of this discipline, which combines extreme endurance and the technical prowess of drivers and crews.
The world title will be awarded at the end of the five races that will make up the season. The competitors who finish at the top of the overall standings will be crowned world champions in cars and motorcycles. Throughout the year, the results obtained will also change the classification of the manufacturers’ world championship, with the consequent awarding of the title in each category.
2024 Calendar: Five rounds on four continents
The third season of the Rally-Raid World Championship will feature five rounds, including the visit of the championship for the second year in a row to the Desafío Ruta 40 in Argentina.

FIA points scale
The standings will change according to the results of each stage and the overall outcome. The points awarded for stages will not be added to the tally unless the riders, drivers or crews remain in the race until the finish. However, competitors will be allowed to start a stage (and, therefore, to earn points) even if they have failed to complete the previous one, albeit with a heavy time penalty
Marathon events
- General standings, points awarded to the top 15 competitors: (50, 40, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2).
- Stage classification, points awarded to the top 5 competitors: (5, 4, 3, 2 and 1).

FIM points scale
Due to the particularities of the motorbike race, most notably the hazards faced by riders, the FIM strongly emphasises consistency over raw speed. Therefore, points towards the world championship standings will be based entirely on the final general standings of each event. A coefficient will be applied to the points at stake according to the event format.
