Like in any other sport, WRC Standings show the placement of the World Rally Championship (WRC) drivers in this season. In other words, the standings indicate how good the drivers have been. Those producing better results are sitting higher up the ladder than the rest of the field.
Therefore, the idea of standings in the World Rally Championship season is not unique to rally. Otherwise, it’s an integral part of any competition in the world that consists of several matches, events or tournaments.
Importance of Standings for Bettors
As a bettor, you should use the standings as one of the tools to make WRC picks, but you should know that if the driver is placed at the top of the WRC standings, that doesn’t necessarily mean that he is the most likely to win the next race. There are many other factors to consider.
If you are checking out the WRC standings after just one race, the top driver isn’t automatically the best in the field. It could be just a driver who won the opening race of the season. The more races have passed, the more accurately will WRC standings show which drivers are actually the best.
Still, even though you should check the standings before placing your bet, there are other, more important things to consider when wagering on WRC. That includes the driver’s form, skill, and whether the driver has the tools to win the race you plan to bet on.
Learning how to bet on WRC and actually being successful at it requires a lot more than just checking the standings and picking the driver who sits at the top. Admittedly, though, that doesn’t mean you should completely ignore what the standings are showing.
How WRC Standings Work
The 2024 WRC season changed how points are awarded, making the championship more strategic. Afterwards, drivers no longer just focus on winning the entire rally. Now, they get points after each day’s stages, with a bigger reward for better finishes.
This pushes them to compete hard throughout the whole event, not just save their energy for the final push. There’s still a bonus for winning the last day’s Wolf Power Stage. Even though, finishing the rally on Sunday is essential to score any points. This system creates closer competition and encourages drivers to take calculated risks throughout the race.

Each WRC race awards Championship points for the top-10 drivers at the end of the event, for a total of 10. The winner collects 25 Championship points, the runner-up 18, and the third-placed driver 15. The remaining seven get 12, 10, 8, and so on, with each two less than the driver ahead of him.
Sébastien Loeb holds the record for the most WRC Championship titles, winning nine straight titles between 2004-2012. The second-most successful driver is Sebastien Ogier, who has won eight titles, including all but one between 2013-2021. The only other drivers who won more than two WRC Drivers’ Championships are Juha Kankkunen (1986, 1987, 1991, 1993) and Tommi Mäkinen (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999), who won four apiece.
France and Finland are two of the most successful nations in WRC history, followed by the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Spain.
