2021 World Rally Championship-3
The 2021 FIA World Rally Championship-3 was the eighth season of the World Rally Championship-3, an auto racing championship for rally cars that is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile as the third-highest tier of international rallying. It was open to privately entered cars complying with Group Rally2 regulations. The championship began in January 2021 with the Rallye Monte-Carlo and concluded in November 2021 with Rally Monza, running in support of the 2021 World Rally Championship. Yohan Rossel won the driver's championship, while Maciej Szczepaniak took the co-driver's title. The  2020 WRC-3 driver and co-driver champions Jari Huttunen and Mikko Lukka did not defend their titles in 2021 due to progression to WRC-2. Frenchman Yohan Rossel took the driver's title at the final round but due to his employing multiple co-drivers through the season, the co-driver title went to Maciej Szczepaniak, regular co-driver to Kajetan Kajetanowicz. The 2021 WRC-3 season was the last to use Group Rally2 cars. From 2022 the championship would use only Group Rally3 cars. Entries.
