In detail Citroën Racing announced three factory-supported entries in the category, retaining Yohan Rossel and signing Nikolay Gryazin and Marco Bulacia. Rossel and Gryazin's entries will be run in collaboration with Belgian outfit DG Sport Compétition, while Portuguese team Sports & You will run Bulacia's entry.
Toksport WRT will run three entries supported by Škoda Motorsport. The German team retains Oliver Solberg and Gus Greensmith from 2023, while Pierre-Louis Loubet returns to the category, moving over from the Rally1 category and M-Sport Ford.
Sami Pajari left Toksport WRT after the 2023 season. Instead, he will drive the new Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, his entry being run by Finnish team Printsport.
Regulation changes Power Stage points were removed from WRC2 for the 2024 season. The FIA cited complaints about the disparity in running order – where the top-five WRC2 competitors would run out of order from the other cars in class – as the primary reason for the regulation change.
