The 2021 Global Rally Series will be the forty-eighth season of the Global Rally Series, an auto racing championship recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) the R2 junior and Rally GT seasons are due to return this season for the first time since 2018 but are subject to approval.
The 2021 Global Rally Series will be the forty-eighth season of the Global Rally Series, an auto racing championship recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).


The season featured custom as well as real life rally drivers for the first time since the regulation changes to the sport in 2016.
In 2021, the GRS became unique whilst keeping close ties to the WRC. In order to modernize the series the GRS became a spec series using the Extreme E Spark Odyssey rally car however this was modified to be made road legal for the road sections of a rally - in turn this turned the heads of many manufacturers: some left whilst some joined, teams also had a say on what type of engine they would like with most opting for/building a hybrid engine for their cars, the rule changes also allowed some drivers to make their own teams which was actually encouraged by the FIA.


==Driver/Manufacturer Changes==
The FIA and GRS officials decided that development of the Odyssey was not limited so normal research and development protocols applied throughout the season.
*{{FRA}} World Rally Champion Sebastien Ogier will return to the series for the first time since an original stint from 2005-2012, it isnt known which manufacturer he will drive for.
*{{FRA}} World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb will drive in the series for the first time after being persuaded to join the Citreon team.
*{{USA}} Ken Block will return after a stint in 2011-2015 and is due to return with Ford, replacing British driver Shane Wray
*{{GBR}} Shane Wray will move away from Ford and move to another manufacturer (likely Peugeot.)


==Calendar==
==Drivers and Manufacturers==
The championship is due to be contested over fourteen rounds, the biggest calendar since the regulation changes in 2017, this was done to make the GRS expand more and make it more "legit" in the eyes of the fans and the FIA who wanted to expand the series.
The following teams and drivers are under contract to contest the 2021 championship. All crews use tyres provided by Continental.

===Changes===
* The new Spark Odyssey car saw the introduction of a Ferrari backed team, which had 3 cars (one being an Alfa Romeo liveried car) whilst Peugeot, Mini and Toyota returned.
* Ford re-entered as a full time constructor with its M-Sport brand, it had usually been ran as part time on a semi-regular basis up until this season.
* Driver Shane Wray decided to enter a team that would get support from Toyota, he wasn't the only driver to enter a team as Kyle Macleod was named as joint team owner for the Ferrari team after he requested an Alfa Romeo presence in the series.
* Prodrive entered the series with their own team after years of making cars for other manufacturers, the decision comes after they entered their own car in the 2021 Dakar Rally.
* Continental became the sole tyre supplier.

===Changes===
*{{TUR}} The Rally of Turkey was due to return in 2019 but got cancelled, a deal was finally made for 2021.
* It was confirmed in December that the GRS and WRC will hold 6 joint events this year.
*Several rallies changed dates
* Rally Saudi Arabia is the name given to the Dakar Rally warmup and is likely the only event on the calendar to feature a navigational route instead of a normal rally stage route using closed off public roads.
*{{CAN}} The Rally of Canada debuted for the first time.
* After trying to get it back on the calendar twice in 2020, the Canary Islands Rally is likely to return with the base moving from Matagorda in Lanzarote to Santa Cruz in Tenerife.
* A joint GRS-WRC round in Sweden (the only pure snow rally on each calendar) was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic however a replacement was named so a snow rally could take place on both calendars - The Arctic Rally in Finland.
* Rally GB was originally a joint round but was cancelled after the organizers due to financial reasons following a disagreement between organizers in Wales and Northern Ireland as to who should host the event, the WRC replaced the rally with Ypres Rally Belgium and claimed it would still be a joint event.
* Safari Rally Kenya became a joint WRC-GRS event after becoming a staple on the GRS calendar.

2021 Global Rally Series (ShaneEyoho) season
Previous: 2020 Next: 2022
Drivers Champion Constructors Champion
TBD TBD

The 2021 Global Rally Series will be the forty-eighth season of the Global Rally Series, an auto racing championship recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).

In 2021, the GRS became unique whilst keeping close ties to the WRC. In order to modernize the series the GRS became a spec series using the Extreme E Spark Odyssey rally car however this was modified to be made road legal for the road sections of a rally - in turn this turned the heads of many manufacturers: some left whilst some joined, teams also had a say on what type of engine they would like with most opting for/building a hybrid engine for their cars, the rule changes also allowed some drivers to make their own teams which was actually encouraged by the FIA.

The FIA and GRS officials decided that development of the Odyssey was not limited so normal research and development protocols applied throughout the season.

Drivers and Manufacturers

The following teams and drivers are under contract to contest the 2021 championship. All crews use tyres provided by Continental.

Changes

  • The new Spark Odyssey car saw the introduction of a Ferrari backed team, which had 3 cars (one being an Alfa Romeo liveried car) whilst Peugeot, Mini and Toyota returned.
  • Ford re-entered as a full time constructor with its M-Sport brand, it had usually been ran as part time on a semi-regular basis up until this season.
  • Driver Shane Wray decided to enter a team that would get support from Toyota, he wasn't the only driver to enter a team as Kyle Macleod was named as joint team owner for the Ferrari team after he requested an Alfa Romeo presence in the series.
  • Prodrive entered the series with their own team after years of making cars for other manufacturers, the decision comes after they entered their own car in the 2021 Dakar Rally.
  • Continental became the sole tyre supplier.

Calendar

The 2021 championship is due to be contested over twelve rounds around the world:

Start date Finish date Rally Rally headquarters Surface Stages Distance Cancellation reason
11 February 14 February Flag of Sweden svg.png Rally Sweden
(WRC-GRS event) 		Torsby, Varmland County Snow 19 313.81 km COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden
19 August 22 August Template:GBR Rally GB
(WRC-GRS event) 		N/A N/A N/A N/A Financial issues

Changes

  • It was confirmed in December that the GRS and WRC will hold 6 joint events this year.
  • Rally Saudi Arabia is the name given to the Dakar Rally warmup and is likely the only event on the calendar to feature a navigational route instead of a normal rally stage route using closed off public roads.
  • After trying to get it back on the calendar twice in 2020, the Canary Islands Rally is likely to return with the base moving from Matagorda in Lanzarote to Santa Cruz in Tenerife.
  • A joint GRS-WRC round in Sweden (the only pure snow rally on each calendar) was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic however a replacement was named so a snow rally could take place on both calendars - The Arctic Rally in Finland.
  • Rally GB was originally a joint round but was cancelled after the organizers due to financial reasons following a disagreement between organizers in Wales and Northern Ireland as to who should host the event, the WRC replaced the rally with Ypres Rally Belgium and claimed it would still be a joint event.
  • Safari Rally Kenya became a joint WRC-GRS event after becoming a staple on the GRS calendar.

Scoring system

Points were awarded to the top ten classified finishers in each event. In the manufacturers' championship, teams were eligible to nominate three crews to score points, but these points were only awarded to the top two classified finishers representing a manufacturer.

Bonus points are also on offer on the last stage for the Top 5 finishers on that stage, these bonus points are called Power Stage points and from this season counted towards both championships (they had previously only counted to the Drivers Championship) with the winner of the Power Stage getting 5 bonus points, 2nd getting 4, 3rd getting 3, 4th getting 2 and 5th getting 1.

Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th
