List of World Rally Championship driver numbers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of seasonally allocated competition numbers that crews of WRC manufacturers opt to use. The option to choose was introduced into the World Rally Championship since 2019.[1] Similar to the regulation that was implemented in Formula One, only the reigning world champion is allowed to use No.1.[2]
