- Notes
- ^1 – Rally Sweden was shortened due to warm weather conditions turning frozen roads into soft, muddy gravel and making the studded tyres unsafe to use.[6]
- ^2 – Rally China was cancelled due to weather damage caused by torrential storms and flooding in July.[7]
- ^3 – The route of Rally Australia was shortened following concerns over dust reducing visibility in forest stages.
Regulation changes
- The Production Cup for Drivers and Co-driver will be discontinued after 2015.[12]
