Its creation provided a platform for competing in extreme conditions, showcasing driving excellence across continents. Notable milestones include the introduction of the Group B cars in the 1980s, known for their power and speed, and the evolution to more sustainable technologies in the 2000s. The WRC has expanded globally, influencing car technology and driver skills development.

Old

The logo displays bold, uppercase lettering spelling “WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP”. A stylized race car sits atop, abstracted to basic shapes. Monochromatic tones suggest sophistication and authority. The car’s dynamic angle conveys speed and competition. This emblem symbolizes the global pursuit of rally racing excellence.

Today

The updated logo trades the prior’s figurative elements for stark, modern typography. “WRC” adopts a fluid, continuous line, suggesting a race track’s undulations. The full “FIA WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP” below adds gravitas in a clean, sans-serif font. It’s a minimalist turn, focusing on the acronym and the official title without distraction. This design speaks to a streamlined, contemporary identity for the championship.
