WRC 2024 – Teams and drivers

January 23, 2024

Once again, the rally gods have shuffled the deck, and the teams have done their part to shape up the line-ups. For instance, Ott Tänak is back with Hyundai. There, Andreas Mikkelsen has finally secured a spot through a shared car with Lappi and Sordo. The reigning champion, Kalle Rovenperä, also opts for a shared Yaris with the multi-time former champion Ogier, while Evans and Katsuta take the regular seats.

M-Sport and Ford have made their picks, putting all their hopes on Fourmaux and Munster, both of whom competed in WRC2 last season. It will be exciting to see who can take command of the WRC series now that Kalle has scaled back his participation. Here in Umeå, we can look forward to a showdown between the two previous winners, Tänak and Rovanperä.
