The W2RC (World Rally-Raid Championship) brings together the world’s leading drivers, riders, teams and manufacturers. Thousands of kilometres, navigation, dust, sand and long days make simply reaching the finish part of the challenge.
The Dakar Rally opens the season as its most iconic event, but the championship continues across some of the world’s most demanding terrain. Every rally presents a different challenge: desert, fast tracks, dunes and navigation, where a small mistake can completely change a race.
Speed alone is not enough. Navigation, reliability and consistency over several days are just as important. That is the W2RC: rally-raid at the highest level.
Five rounds make up the 2027 W2RC calendar, from the Dakar Rally in January to the Rallye du Maroc in October. The championship will travel through Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Portugal and Morocco, taking on dunes, fast tracks and vastly different rally-raid terrain.
