The FIA awards the world cup to drivers, co-drivers, and teams competing in the T1 category; whilst drivers and teams in the T3 and T4 categories are awarded FIA cups. The T2 production class will no longer be awarded an end of season trophy. Likewise, the T5 'truck' category is recognized, but not awarded any end-of-season cup or trophy.[6]

In order to score points in the Cup classifications, competitors must register with the FIA before the entry closing date of the first rally entered.

Points system

• Points for final positions are awarded as per the following table:

For the 2020 season points will be awarded to the top three finishing positions of each leg on each event. These points will only be awarded if the driver finishes in the overall classification of each event. If they do not then no leg points are awarded, but the following vehicles will not move up a position for leg points.[6]
