The 2020 FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas is the second season of the reformed FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas; an annual competition for baja-style rally raid events for cars, buggies, and side-by-sides held in multiple countries.

Calendar

The initial calendar for the 2020 world cup featured eight cross-country baja events. Some events on the schedule are shared with the 2020 FIM Bajas World Cup.[1][2] Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the calendar suffered several changes.

Regulation Changes

[edit]

Starting with the 2020 season the vehicle classes have been reorganized into the following classifications:

  • T1.1 - 4x4 Prototype Cross-Country Vehicles - Petrol and Diesel
  • T1.2 - 4x2 Prototype Cross-Country Vehicles - Petrol and Diesel
  • T2 - Series Production Cross Country Vehicles
  • T3 - Improved Lightweight Prototypes Cross Country Vehicles
  • T4 - Improved Lightweight Series Side by Side Cross Country Vehicles

The FIA awards the world cup to drivers, co-drivers, and teams competing in the T1 category; whilst drivers and teams in the T3 and T4 categories are awarded FIA cups. The T2 production class will no longer be awarded an end of season trophy.[8]

Championship standings

[edit]

In order to score points in the Cup classifications, competitors must register with the FIA before the entry closing date of the first rally entered.

Points system
  • Points for final positions are awarded as per the following table:
Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th 
Overall Points 25 18 15 12 10 8 6 4 2 1
Leg Points 1.5 1 .5 0

For the 2020 season points will be awarded to the top three finishing positions of each leg on each event. These points will only be awarded if the driver finishes in the overall classification of each event. If they do not then no leg points are awarded, but the following vehicles will not move up a position for leg points.[8]

Competitors were awarded with reduced points at the Baja Portalegre 500, which was shortened.[12]
