2026 World Rally-Raid Championship Calendar

The World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) is the ultimate global endurance series for off-road racing, co-sanctioned by the FIA and FIM and headlined by the legendary Dakar Rally. The championship tests the limits of human and mechanical endurance across diverse and treacherous terrains—from the dunes of the Arabian Peninsula to the rugged tracks of Africa and South America. The series features a multi-class structure including Ultimate (T1) for elite prototype cars, Challenger (T3) for lightweight prototypes, and SSV (T4) for production-based side-by-sides, alongside a comprehensive bike category split between RallyGP (pros) and Rally2 (amateurs). Managed by ASO, the W2RC combines high-speed navigation with survival, rewarding consistent performance across grueling multi-day events like the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge and Rallye du Maroc. It serves as the definitive stage for major manufacturers like Dacia, Toyota, Ford, and Honda to prove the durability and performance of their off-road technology on a world scale.
