1996 World Rally Championship

1996 FIA World Rally Championship
Champions
World Drivers' Champion	Tommi Mäkinen
World Manufacturers' Champion	Subaru

The 1996 World Rally Championship was the 24th season of the FIA World Rally Championship. The season consisted of 9 rallies. As a result of their 1995 disqualification, Toyota Team Europe were not allowed to compete in this year's championship, so only three works teams contested the championship. The drivers' world championship was won by Tommi Mäkinen in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3, ahead of Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz. The manufacturers' title was won by Subaru.

Calendar

The 1996 championship was contested over nine rounds in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and Oceania.
