The\u00a0kit will\u00a0comprise\u00a0new\u00a0homologated front fenders, a front\u00a0bumper\u00a0and\u00a0a rear aerodynamic device, with a maximum cost of \u20ac7,500.<\/p>\n Homologation of the Rally2-WRC-Kit may only be carried out by a\u00a0manufacturer registered for the FIA World Rally Championship as a\u00a0constructor. During the first year of homologation, the Manufacturer must\u00a0participate\u00a0in 100\u00a0per cent\u00a0of the events listed on the WRC calendar, with a minimum of two cars per rally.<\/p>\n The regulations also define the technical framework for Rally2-WRC-Kit\u00a0cars, including\u00a0a\u00a0total\u00a0weight of 1220kg. Each Rally2-WRC-Kit will be\u00a0permitted\u00a0one joker for bodywork parts homologated as part of the kit, with only one Rally2-WRC-Kit extension authorised per Rally2 homologation form during the 2027-2028 period.\u00a0<\/p>\n Eligibility for\u00a0Rally2-WRC-Kit\u00a0cars in the\u00a0FIA\u00a0World Rally Championship\u2019s top category will end on 31 December 2028, providing a defined two-year transition period as the WRC27\u00a0regulations are introduced.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new framework is designed to strengthen competition in the championship\u2019s top category during the opening years of the WRC27 cycle, allowing\u00a0Rally2-WRC-Kit\u00a0cars to compete alongside\u00a0the\u00a0new-generation WRC27\u00a0cars.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Malcolm Wilson OBE, FIA Deputy President for Sport, said:\u00a0“More competition at the top level is the driving force behind everything we are doing with WRC27, and these changes approved today by the World Motor Sport Council will help us to deliver a greater spectacle for the fans over the next two years. By creating a pathway for eligible Rally2 cars to enter the top class, the regulations will support larger fields, increase competitive depth and help deliver a fantastic contest at the highest level of rallying.”<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n FIA Global Karting Plan continues to deliver more affordable motor sport with 2026 FIA Karting Arrive and Drive World Cup confirmed\u00a0<\/p>\n The inaugural edition of the event in 2025\u00a0showcased\u00a0the new era for FIA\u00a0Karting,\u00a0with over 100 drivers\u00a0participating\u00a0from 50 countries across every region. Cutting entry costs by up to two thirds compared to traditional international karting competitions, 91 per cent of drivers said the format makes it easier for them to compete. 15 girls also\u00a0participated\u00a0last year, the highest proportion of female participation in any FIA Karting event, reflecting the format\u2019s potential to\u00a0identify\u00a0and support a new generation of rising motor sport stars.<\/p>\n This year began phase two of the rollout of the Global Karting Plan, which includes continental Arrive and Drive championships in Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America. These championships act as qualifying championships for the Arrive and Drive World Cup to diversify the pipeline of emerging motor sport talent and open new pathways into the sport by bringing the Arrive and Drive format closer to global communities.<\/p>\n The event will again feature a junior and senior category with OTK Group selected as the official kart supplier and Vega selected as the official tyre supplier.\u00a0<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n FIA Esports expands further with new competition and Esports International Sporting Code\u00a0<\/p>\n In collaboration with ACL Sport, this new Esports competition will be launched on the\u00a0RaceRoom\u00a0platform, featuring the iconic BMW 134 Judd V8 \u2013 driven by the legendary Georg Plasa in real-world Hill Climb events. The tournament will unfold in two high-stakes stages, beginning with an open online qualification from\u00a020\u00a0August to\u00a09\u00a0September on an existing\u00a0RaceRoom\u00a0Hill Climb track, where the eight fastest drivers will secure their\u00a0place\u00a0in the finals.<\/p>\n The action then moves onsite to Luxembourg from October 11-13 for\u00a0stage two,\u00a0where finalists will face the ultimate test of skill on a course on\u00a0RaceRoom\u00a0kept strictly\u00a0under wraps\u00a0until race day to ensure a level playing field.<\/p>\n The World Motor Sport Council has also approved the creation of a separate Esports Code to regulate FIA Esports Competitions. This now replaces Appendix E to the International Sporting Code, which was always intended to be a temporary appendix to manage ongoing Competitions while the separate Esports Code was developed.\u00a0<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Under the new regulations, organisers may issue additional passes for up to two team members to access specific rally locations, including time controls, media zones and podium areas, where required to support the movement or handling of a wheelchair or medical equipment for a crew member with a disability.\u00a0<\/p>\n The regulations also\u00a0permit\u00a0one team member to enter Parc Ferm\u00e9 to\u00a0assist\u00a0a crew member with mobility, or to support the handling of a wheelchair or medical equipment. In addition, one team member may replace a crew member with a disability for the purpose of carrying out service operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n Organisers will also be\u00a0required\u00a0to take accessibility requirements into account when planning event infrastructure, including Rally HQ, service\u00a0parks\u00a0and podium areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n Together, the new provisions are designed to better support competitors with disabilities and increase accessibility across all aspects of regional rallying.\u00a0<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n FIA Historic Motor Sport Commission unveils Historic Roadmap to strengthen period compliance through 2030\u00a0<\/p>\n The FIA has unveiled a new Historic Motor Sport Roadmap, outlining a phased approach to period compliance scrutineering from 2026 through to 2030. The initiative is designed to strengthen consistency,\u00a0fairness\u00a0and credibility across historic motor sport, through a harmonised framework for eligibility control and compliance monitoring.\u00a0<\/p>\n The roadmap includes\u00a0the publication of specification guidance, the recruitment and training of FIA Eligibility Delegates, as well as enhanced support for organisers and competitors. A dedicated education and observation phase will follow before progressively introducing compliance monitoring,\u00a0reporting\u00a0and enforcement measures.\u00a0<\/p>\n By 2030, the framework will be fully activated, with the implementation of\u00a0enforcement mechanisms designed to ensure long-term adherence to period-correct specifications. The roadmap forms part of the FIA’s ongoing commitment to preserving the authenticity and integrity of historic competition for future generations.\u00a0<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Regulatory Updates\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n FIA Formula One World Championship\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n H.E. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, remarked on the collaborative approach between\u00a0all of\u00a0the\u00a0major stakeholders\u00a0in the FIA Formula One World Championship\u00a0since the start of the 2026 season and the introduction\u00a0of the major regulatory changes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The FIA President said:\u00a0\u201cThe FIA continues to oversee the evolution of the 2026 Regulations and work closely with all key stakeholders across the motorsport community.<\/p>\n \u201cAs with every major regulatory change, the process does not end when the cars first take to the track. Continuous dialogue and collaboration are essential to ensuring that the regulations meet the needs of the sport, its drivers, and its fans. Together we are exploring the future direction of the championship and considering how the sport can balance innovation, sustainability,\u00a0performance\u00a0and fan appeal in the years ahead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe discussions around future power unit concepts, including V8 engines powered by sustainable fuels, demonstrate the willingness of all parties to engage in shaping the next chapter of the sport.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The World Motor Sport Council approved updates to the 2026 Sporting, Technical and Financial Regulations. In addition to various clarifications and minor corrections, these also included that:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The declaration of a Heat Hazard may now be split between Sprint and Race. A Heat Hazard will still be declared, for Sprint, Race or both, 24 hours prior to the start of the Competition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n In low grip conditions when the track is wet and there is poor visibility boost mode has been reintroduced but is restricted to preventing power reduction without increasing output, while the overtake function will be disabled. These changes have been made for safety reasons.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n From 2027, the duration of Pre-Season Testing has been increased from three to four days, owing to the general complexity of the current generation of cars.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The first issue of the 2027 Technical Regulations has been approved by the World Motor Sport Council with a broad set of structural, wording, and targeted technical updates that improve clarity, consistency, and enforceability while incorporating key learnings from the 2026 season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Also approved were measures relating to power unit supply, management of reconnaissance laps and race distances at selected circuits and financial regulatory changes linked to amendments to the technical and sporting package for 2027-28.\u00a0<\/p>\n Finally,\u00a0the World Motor Sport Council has ratified the\u00a0proposed changes<\/a>\u00a0to rebalance the contribution of the\u00a0Internal Combustion Engine and Energy Recovery System contribution across the 2027 and 2028 seasons.\u00a0Updates include\u00a0targeted adjustments to internal combustion engine output, fuel energy\u00a0flow\u00a0and energy recovery system deployment, together with increased flexibility in energy management.\u00a0<\/p>\n ABB FIA Formula E World Championship\u00a0<\/p>\n A number of\u00a0updates to the Financial Regulations were approved in line with the introduction of the next generation of cars from Season 13. The Manufacturer Reporting Period will be updated from two-years to a one-year cycle, and the regulation will be adapted to the new token system of the championship.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n FIA World Rally-Raid Championship\u00a0<\/p>\n The World Motor Sport Council approved a series of sporting regulation updates for the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n Changes were made to the start order process\u00a0so that the order now more closely reflects the previous Stage\u2019s classification, with drivers competing in Ultimate, Stock, Challenger and SSV vehicles who set a time within 117% of the fastest overall time to be included in the revised start order procedure.\u00a0<\/p>\n The regulations governing repositioning on Marathon Rally-Raid events, notably the Dakar Rally, have also been updated. Under the revised regulations,\u00a0Silver\u00a0drivers will be eligible for two repositioning opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n Further changes were made to the regulations governing maximum\u00a0Stage Penalties, raising the number a competitor may receive before being excluded from the final classification. Competitors who receive more than two\u00a0maximum\u00a0Stage Penalties during a Rally-Raid event, or more than three\u00a0maximum\u00a0Stage Penalties during a Marathon Rally-Raid event, will no longer be classified.\u00a0<\/p>\n FIA Cross Country Rally\u00a0<\/p>\n A raft of updates to the regulations governing Cross-Country Rally were approved by the\u00a0World Motor Sport Council, including the merging of Platinum and Gold priority status into a single\u00a0Gold\u00a0status. Under the new regulations, drivers who previously held Platinum status, which was defined as the top three finishers in the last three World Rally-Raid Championships and the overall winners of the last five Dakar events will now be defined as\u00a0Gold\u00a0priority.\u00a0<\/p>\n Amendments to the technical regulations governing Cross-Country Rally were also approved, including an update to the maximum cost of a new ready-to-compete\u00a0Stock\u00a0car, which will be capped at \u20ac350,000. The adjustment reflects the increase in real vehicle costs caused by inflation over the past two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n Changes were also made to the regulations governing hybrid\u00a0Stock\u00a0vehicles. Under the updated regulations, the original vehicle battery pack may be replaced by a series-production battery pack from another model produced by the same manufacturer.\u00a0<\/p>\n This change is intended to address the specific demands of Cross-Country Rally competition, where standard hybrid 4WD vehicles may be equipped with large battery packs that create a significant weight disadvantage, with no opportunity to recharge during a competitive stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n Further changes were made to the minimum weight regulations across all Cross-Country Rally classes,\u00a0establishing\u00a0a single minimum weight for each category, inclusive of the crew and their equipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cross Country safety\u00a0<\/p>\n The implementation of FIA 8855-2021 or FIA 8862-2009 seats\u00a0will be updated\u00a0from 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n The requirement will apply across Cross-Country Rally\u00a0categories, with exemptions for\u00a0Ultimate and Challenger\u00a0vehicles with safety cages homologated before 1 January 2024, as well as all\u00a0Truck,\u00a0T4\u00a0and\u00a0T2 vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n The change is intended to support the wider use of newer-generation seat technology, further improving crew safety across the discipline.\u00a0<\/p>\n New provisions were also introduced to allow seating positions to be adjusted using cushions or foam inserts, including through the modification or removal of original inserts\u00a0where\u00a0permitted\u00a0under the new article.\u00a0<\/p>\n Competitors are also recommended to follow the Cross-Country Seat Headrest Foam Guidelines,\u00a0which will be published later this summer,\u00a0to\u00a0identify\u00a0the foam configuration most suitable for driver and navigator comfort and safety. This update is intended to improve crew positioning and head support inside the vehicle, helping to reduce the risk of excessive head movement or impact\u00a0when running over particularly rough terrain, or\u00a0in the event of\u00a0a collision.\u00a0<\/p>\n Regional Rallying\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The World Motor Sport Council approved updates to the regulations governing national cars entered in FIA Regional Rally Championship events.<\/p>\n Under the revised regulations, national cars entered in these events must hold an ASN Technical Passport and be registered through a new digital National Car Acceptance Form.<\/p>\n Updates were also made to\u00a0the implementation of\u00a0FIA 8855-2021 or FIA 8862-2009 seats\u00a0from 2027.<\/p>\n The requirement will apply across eligible cars, with exemptions for RGT cars homologated before 1 January 2022, R1, R2, R3, Rally5 and Rally4 cars homologated before 1 January 2020, and all national cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n These will include the exclusive use of sustainable fuel becoming mandatory in any GT3 competition from 2028. The change is aligned with the\u00a0previous\u00a0introduction of sustainable fuel to the FIA GT World Cup\u00a0in\u00a02024<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition, all tyres used in GT3 competitions will be\u00a0required\u00a0to\u00a0contain\u00a0a minimum of 20\u00a0per cent\u00a0sustainable materials, either bio-sourced and\/or recycled, from 2028 onwards. This follows on from the recent\u00a0appointment of the tyre supplier for the FIA World Endurance Championships\u2019 LMGT3 class<\/a>, which will utilise tyres made from 66\u00a0per cent\u00a0sustainable materials during the 2027, 2028 and 2029 seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n These changes\u00a0represent\u00a0the next step in the FIA\u2019s long-term strategy to increase sustainability in GT racing while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0current levels of performance,\u00a0cost\u00a0and competitiveness within the class.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n FIA Truck Racing Commission<\/p>\n The current specification of trucks will continue to compete under dedicated a set of regulations, known as Category II, and are expected to remain eligible until at least 2030.<\/p>\n Alongside the Category II, a new Category I specification will be introduced to increase road relevance and\u00a0facilitate\u00a0the integration of future powertrain technologies. The new regulations are being developed with several key\u00a0objectives, including reducing vehicle weight and\u00a0operating\u00a0costs, improving safety, increasing the use of components derived from series-production trucks, and further enhancing sustainability.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new Category I chassis regulations will also promote greater technical freedom through open suspension geometry, improved vehicle\u00a0dynamics\u00a0and increased chassis stiffness. In addition, the Category I trucks will be ballast-compatible and designed to accommodate multiple energy sources, including fully electric, hybrid and liquid hydrogen (LH\u2082) powertrains in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n The roadmap presented to the\u00a0World Motor Sport Council\u00a0foresees completion of a first draft of the new Category I chassis regulations by the end of 2026, allowing homologation from 2027, with the\u00a0objective\u00a0of becoming eligible for Goodyear FIA ETRC competition from 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n Development of the Category I powertrain regulations will follow a separate timeline, with a first draft planned by the end of 2027 and development work\u00a0commencing\u00a0in 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n The introduction of these new regulations aims to secure a sustainable long-term future for truck racing while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0continuity for existing competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beyond Goodyear FIA ETRC, FIA Truck Racing regulations are also adopted by\u00a0a number of\u00a0national truck racing competitions across Europe, therefore the new technical road map is set to have a broader impact on the future of the discipline.\u00a0<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n FIA Drifting Commission\u00a0<\/p>\n The World Motor Sport Council approved the sporting regulations for the 2026 editions of the FIA Intercontinental Drifting Cup and the new-for-2026 FIA Central Asia Drifting Cup, outlining the entry periods for both competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n Registration for FIA IDC competitors will open on 13 July and close on 1 October. However, between 26 June and 13 July, any National Sporting Authority may express its interest in entering one driver from its nation. The entry list will be limited to 50 drivers,\u00a0representing\u00a0a five-slot increase compared to the 2025 edition. As in previous years, two titles will be awarded: the Drivers\u2019 Title and the Nations Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n Registration for FIA Central Asia Drifting Cup competitors will open on 26 June and close on 1 September. There will be no limit on entries, with both a Drivers\u2019 Title and a Teams\u2019 Title to be awarded.\u00a0<\/p>\n The venues and dates for both competitions were announced in May<\/a>. The FIA Intercontinental Drifting Cup will take place at the Serres Circuit\u00a0in Greece\u00a0from 13 to 15 November, while the inaugural FIA Central Asia Drifting Cup is scheduled for 25 to 27 September 2026 at the Sokol International Circuit in Kazakhstan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
