WRC-Basic Rules of World Rally Championship

Each WRC race is divided into three stops, usually one stop every day. The schedule planning is mostly 1500 km, which is divided into SS (special stage) and RS (road section). SS (special stage) is a race on a closed controlled road, and 1 stage is usually planned to have 5-65438+.

The degree is limited to 400 kilometers, and the WRC is calculated according to the sum of the time for each driver to complete all SS sections. The timing unit is 0. 1 sec, while the planned average speed is limited to110km, and the maximum speed cannot exceed132km. Different SS sections are connected by RS (Road Sections), which are usually general roads. Therefore, the speed limit must comply with local traffic regulations, that is, like ordinary road vehicles, it is not allowed to violate the speed limit. Therefore, in order to allow drivers enough time to reach the starting point of the next section of the rs section, the conference will provide a period of time for drivers to complete the RS section within the local legal speed limit and cooperate with the police or the army to maintain smooth traffic. The timing unit of RS segment is 1 minute. If the driver fails to arrive at the specified time, the total score will be fined 1 0 second for each delay.

SSS section setting

SSS (Super Special Stage) is designed for audience and convenient TV broadcast. The super special stage in WRC history originated from SSS in Langley Park, Australia. The length planning of SSS section is usually only 2 kilometers, and most of them are carried out on the track built by workers, which is the shortest super stage in the whole competition. But the attraction to the audience is the highest, because the audience can easily enjoy the picture of two cars competing in the same field in the audience, which is invisible in the traditional rally and does not have to suffer from the wind and sand.

WRC racing road surface

The race roads are divided into asphalt roads and non-asphalt roads (gravel roads), and France is the most famous asphalt road race. In addition, Spain and Italy are also famous asphalt races of WRC. But if you add the weather, there will be snowy roads. For example, every year, cars in Monte Carlo Station and Sweden Station compete in the harsh environment of ice and snow, and narrow tires are used to increase tire surface pressure and obtain better grip. The safari park in Kenya is competing in the hot desert. Racing in these bad road conditions is a great test for both vehicles and drivers.

The importance of teamwork

Different from ordinary track racing (such as F- 1), WRC racing adopts the starting order, with vehicles from factories and teams giving priority, in the order of drivers' points, followed by FIA-nominated drivers and other drivers in the order of registration. Generally speaking, the departure interval of the first 20 cars should be at least 2 minutes. After several SS segments, there will be 20 minutes of maintenance time, and after each segment, there will be 45 minutes of maintenance time. The vehicle must complete the maintenance work within the specified time, and the total score must be fined 1 0 second for every delay1minute. Therefore, WRC not only tests drivers and vehicles, but also challenges the maintenance and replenishment ability of the team logistics team.
