The World Stage Rally Championship (abbreviated WSRC) is the first top-flight international rallying [1]series, preceded by the internationally-recognized domestic Hodori Rally Championship and Nordic Rally Championship competitions. The series awards separate championship titles for driver/co-driver pairings and teams alike.
Seasons consist of a series of rallies contested across three days, spanning between 460 and nearly 600 competitive kilometers, with each day subdivided into "special stages": timed sections of closed-off public roads driven at race speed. Rallies and stages may be contested on any surface, including tarmac, ice, snow, and gravel. The driver pairing to have set the lowest overall time across the three days of competition are considered the winners of the event.
In each rally, the drivers first set off on a "shakedown" stage to qualify and define the starting order of the day — which may be in finishing order in the case of tarmac events, or reverse order on loose-surface rallies. Each stage is organized by sending drivers out onto the road in fixed time intervals, and crews compete to set the overall fastest time across the rally. The driver pairing to have been fastest on a given day of competition earns one bonus point, while full points are awarded at the end of each rally according to finishing position. Teams may field two or three drivers throughout a season, but only the top two of a team's classified drivers may score points for the teams' championship. In addition, driver pairings may also enter independently of teams as privateers, and such crews may participate in one-off events or in full seasons.
The WSRC has featured events held across regions such as Esportiva, Rushmore, and Arrosia, and has featured teams and crews from over 25 different nations. It has also attracted a number of World Grand Prix Championship drivers, such as Terho Talvela, Axel Novikov (also a multiple, now disputed, Hodori Rally Champion), Dario Nülkeschlager, Sara Luna, Laura Haukkana, Sophie McCreary, and Abdoulaye Goita (as co-driver to Talvela). The nations of Aboveland, Auruna, Hodori, and Kimi-Suomi are often considered the most well-known promoters of professional rallying in the world.
