WRC 2027 regulations finalised with flexible bodywork designs
The FIA World Motor Sport Council has today (Tuesday 10 June) approved a final component of the FIA World Rally Championship regulations set to take effect from 2027.
The WRC 2027 ruleset, initially approved by the FIA World Council in December 2024, has undergone six months of final refinements and updates. Today's confirmation in Macau outlines the reference volumes for bodywork, reinforcing the FIA's stated aim of flexibility within these regulations.

The regulations define a specific zone within which all bodywork panels must be located. Within this volume, manufacturers and constructors will have the freedom to scale and integrate diverse designs.
It means that a variety of car types, including saloons, hatchbacks, crossovers and bespoke designs, will be eligible. This flexibility is intended to apply over the 10-year regulation cycle through to 2037, without affecting performance.
