Group Rally1 cars are due to be introduced in time for the 2022 World Rally Championship season as a replacement for the World Rally Car which has been in place in various forms since 1997. The regulations, formed and approved by the existing WRC teams, were designed to ultimately reduce costs compared to the current 'WRC+' car and also reflect the growing trend of hybrid retail equivalent models. To help reduce costs, many parts will become standardised or removed from the current world rally car. The rules surrounding the manufacture of the chassis means Rally1 will be the first real break from consumer production cars in World Rallying since Groups B and S were abandoned in the 1980s.

Group Rally1+ cars are due to be also introduced in time for the 2023 World Rally Championship season.
The regulations, formed and approved more by the existing WRC teams, were designed to ultimately reduce more costs compared to the Rally1 cars. The rules are also surrounding of the manufacture of the chassis means Rally1+ will be the next big break from consumer production cars in World Rallying. Since the Groups B and S they were abandoned in the 1980s, Rally1+ will be introduced to the World Rally Championship starting in 2023 for the first time.

Key new features will include:

Allowing for scaling dimensions of the road going car
Centrally developed 'spaceframe' roll cage structures to improve safety and costs
Synthetic fuels, claimed to be renewable and sustainable[10]
The addition of bolt-on hybrid power units centrally provided by Compact Dynamics, giving an additional 100 kw of power for rally1 up to 200 kw of power for rally1+ starting in 2022. Their use on special stages will be restricted by the FIA and/or rally organisers initially, as well as exclusively powering the vehicle around the service park and road sections.

To reduce costs the cars will have:

less complex suspension, common supplier to all teams
a reduction from 6 to 5 speed gearboxes, in common with Rally2 cars including the removal of 'flappy-paddle' gear shifters
removal of the active central differential
ban on liquid cooled brakes
simplified fuel tank shape.
