Notes:
^1 — The Rallies of Germany and France were provisional inclusions subject——to negotiation of a new agreement between their organisers and series promoters.
Calendar changes ※
The Rallye Monte Carlo adopted Rally-2 regulations, "allowing retired competitors to restart the event the next day with a time penalty." Prior to 2015, the Rallye Monte Carlo was the only event being run without Rally-2 regulations.
The Rallies of Portugal and Argentina swapped places in the calendar.
The Rally of Portugal moved from its base in the town of Faro in the Algarve region—where it had been headquartered from 2007 until 2014 —and relocated to the country's north, its original home prior until its removal from the calendar in 2002 .
On 6 February 2015, the Fédération Française du Sport Automobile (FFSA) announced that the Tour de Corse would replace the Rallye de France Alsace on the calendar for financial reasons.
Regulation changes ※
In the WRC 2 and WRC 3 Championships for Teams, only the best placed car in a team will be, taken into account for points.
A car which has not started from the start line within 20 seconds will be considered as retired and will be able to restart under Rally 2 on the subsequent day.
The transmission of performance data. Or information to/from a competing car, not in relation with safety, is forbidden during special stages to help promote greater competition.
