2007 World Rally Championship
The 2007 World Rally Championship was the 35th season in the FIA World Rally Championship. The season began on 19 January, with the Monte Carlo Rally and ended on 2 December, with the Wales Rally GB. Citroën's Sébastien Loeb won his fourth consecutive drivers' world championship ahead of Ford's Marcus Grönholm and Mikko Hirvonen. Ford took the manufacturers' title.
Remote service was introduced. Between two sets of stages, instead of returning to the main service location, cars are serviced in a remote location. The service duration is 15 minutes, only four mechanics are allowed and the only parts which can be changed (save for tires) are the ones carried in the car itself.
Since 2006 manufacturer is understood to mean a manufacturer, a team designated by a manufacturer, or a privateer team taking part with a single make of car. In 2007 two categories were created to compete for the Manufacturer's championship, replacing the previous M1 and M2 categories:
Manufacturer (M)
Manufacturer Team (MT)
The 2007 championship was contested over sixteen rounds in Europe, Asia, the Americas and Oceania.
Citroën Total World Rally Team returned to the WRC in 2007 with their new C4. Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Sordo joined the team from Kronos who had been the de facto works Citroën team. Kronos would remain in the WRC as a Manufacturer team with Manfred Stohl returning to Kronos after driving for the Bozian run Peugeot team. Daniel Carlsson was signed to compete in six rallies in 2007, but after Rally Italy, Carlsson was banned from participating in the remainder of the season. François Duval was later signed to compete in the remaining four tarmac rallies.
MMSP, formerly Ralliart, announced via the WRC website that Mitsubishi would be returning to the WRC in 2007, with Toni Gardemeister and Khalid Al Qassimi as their drivers. However, Mitsubishi of Japan refused to approve of the entry, preventing MMSP from entering as a manufacturer. Khalid Al Qassimi and his main sponsor Abu Dhabi withdrew from the team and would later join Ford with Al Qassimi driving a third car for the remainder of the season.
