<2010 season	2012 season>

The 2011 World Rally Championship season was the 39th FIA - World Rally Championship . 13 rallies were held between February 11th and November 13th. The Citroën Total World Rally Team won the seventh world title since 2003 in the manufacturers' world championship . Sébastien Loeb with co-driver Daniel Elena won the title in the drivers' world championship for the eighth time in a row.

New regulations

vehicles

For the 2011 season, changes were made to the technical regulations for all-wheel drive so-called WRC vehicles (class A0) . In terms of technology, the vehicles came much closer to the production models than in the past. The 16V gasoline engine, equipped with a turbocharger and direct fuel injection, was restricted to a displacement of 1600 cm³. The engine speed was limited to 8500 rpm. Throttled by a 33 mm air flow limiter , the engine output is 220 kW (299 hp). In order to save costs, ABS , ESP , center differential , electronic and pneumatic parts were largely dispensed with. The gear change is now done mechanically again using a gear stick. The minimum weight of vehicles based on the S2000 regulations (SWRC = class A2) is 1200 kg. An attempt was made to create equal opportunities by limiting the engine, chassis, spare parts and test drives.

Tire equipment

The official tire supplier for classes A-0 to A-2 has been Michelin since 2011 . From 2011 there will be a limit of 48 tires used per rally and vehicle. The run-flat systems , which enabled a virtually unrestricted drive at racing speed in the event of tire damage, were banned in 2011. In gravel rallies in the 2011 season, only one type of tire may be used; this will be determined for all teams before the event. Tires of different hardness levels are an exception in asphalt rallies. The previously practiced, individual re-cutting of the tire profile, which sometimes led to the peeling of gravel tires to slick level, was also banned from 2011. At the Rally Great Britain , a World Rally Car with the Chinese DMack tires will be at the start for the first time .

Awarding of points and power stage

The points system for the first 10 drivers with 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 points, which was also valid for the WRC from 2010 and was modified analogously to Formula 1, continued to exist. What was new was the introduction of points for the three fastest crews with 3-2-1 bonus points on the so-called power stage . The Power Stage is a shorter, audience-friendly as possible discharged, held as conclusion of the event, as a rule, once executed per rally special stage , which is partially transmitted live on TV.

Class A1 appearance

Since the homologation of the Mini S2000 , which is equipped with 1600 cm³ gasoline engines with direct injection and turbocharging, the conventional 2 liter Super 2000 vehicles have been designated as class A2. The vehicles of the S2000 regulations equipped with 1600 cm³ turbo engine are designated as class A1 and the WRC vehicles as class A0 or class WRC. These class A1 vehicles were only used in the Rally Portugal and the Rally Jordan .

Starting order and stable management

2011 was the last season in which the regulation of the starting order, known as the "Anti-Loeb Rule" , said that the leader of the championship, on the first day of the rally, was the first on the track (mostly still contaminated with loose material) got to. In the next few days, the first place will take over this position. Since tactics were repeatedly used to start the last day of the event as closely as possible, this rule will be abolished.

Stable management is not prohibited in the World Rally Championship, as in many other sports.

Course of the season

Sébastien Ogier in the DS3 WRC on the way to his fifth World Championship victory in 2011

After the first place for Ford works driver Mikko Hirvonen at the first round of the season, the Rally Sweden 2011 , Ford finally expected the years of dominance from Citroën works driver Sébastien Loeb , who won seven world titles from the 2004 season to 2010 Consequence achieved to be able to break. From the Rally Mexico 2011 to the Rally Germany 2011 , however, Loeb Sébastien Ogier's team-mate turned out to be the toughest rival for a rally victory. Loeb and Ogier each won these next eight rallies four times. The rivalries between the two teammates played a bigger role in the media than the performances of the Ford factory drivers. In Germany, the Mini WRC team , which is still in the development phase and only takes part in six selected rallies without competing for brand championship points, even managed to refuse a hoped-for podium with Dani Sordo Ford. Thus, at the end of August, Citroën was 91 points ahead of the Ford works team. Loeb and Ogier in first and second place in the drivers' championship. The Ford works team was given an ultimatum between Rally Germany 2011 and Rally Australia . Ford wanted victories or was planning to withdraw from its involvement in the World Rally Championship.

Kimi Räikkönen and his Ice 1 Racing team decided not to start at the 2011 Rally Australia for organizational reasons, although he had already registered for the event. A team that is registered in the WRC for manufacturer points like Ice 1 Racing must, due to the regulations, appear at all registered events and complete at least two rallies outside of Europe per season. Raikkonen and his team had only competed in one overseas rally before, and after the Rally Australia there was no more on the calendar so that he could no longer have met the requirement. As a result, Raikkonen had to pay a fine of 16,200 euros to the race stewards for not showing up and the Ice 1 Racing team was also removed from the manufacturers' championship.

At the Rally Australia, Loeb, who was in the lead, rolled over five times on the fourth special stage. The leadership passed to his teammate Ogier. Ogier had an accident on a tree on the sixth special stage. Both driver and front passenger were uninjured. Overall leadership went to Ford works drivers Mikko Hirvonen and Jari-Matti Latvala . The two DS3 WRCs could be repaired and made ready to start during the night in the prescribed 3-hour time frame. Under Superally regulations , Loeb started the next day with a 30 minute penalty and Ogier with a 20 minute penalty. Latvala took over the lead from his team-mate on the first special stage of the day. Due to their time penalty, Ogier started a chase for world championship points from sixteenth and Loeb from twenty-first place. The positions of the first three drivers did not change until the penultimate special stage of the next day. The Citroën privateer Petter Solberg was not able to catch up with the Ford factory drivers. Ogier had meanwhile worked his way up to ninth place overall and the chance of taking eighth place from the slower PWRC vehicle in front of him was great. Loeb had meanwhile moved up to twelfth place. In this special stage, both Ford and Citroën issued a stable management that is permitted in rallying . Latvala, who was 86 World Championship points behind Loeb at the time, stopped shortly before the finish to give Hirvonen 28 seconds and the victory. Ogier consciously received a 50-second time penalty when he started this special stage 5 minutes too late and then parked next to the track and intentionally lost an additional nine minutes to give Loeb a championship point. After this one-two victory, Ford reduced the gap in the Manufacturers' World Championship to 62 points. Mikko Hirvonen was now 15 points behind Loeb in the drivers' championship. The fact that the Citroën works team swapped Ogier's possible eighth place for a tenth place from Loeb suggests that Ogier was taken out of the fight for the drivers' world championship.

Mikko Hirvonen already got his second podium at the 2011 Rally France

Before the Rally France , both Latvala and Ogier said they would support their respective teammates in the duel for the world championship. At his home rally, World Championship leader Loeb, while in the lead, retired in the third special stage due to a loss of oil pressure. So his team-mate Ogier was at the top. Since the Ford factory drivers could neither keep up with the pace of Mini-WRC drivers Dani Sordo and Kris Meeke , nor of Citroën privateer Petter Solberg, an interesting three-way battle for the lead between Ogier, Sordo and Solberg ensued on the first day . At the end of that day, Sordo was in the lead with a one-second lead over Solberg in the fourth Mini - the second on asphalt. On the next stage, the leadership of the three top pilots kept changing back and forth. Meeke had an accident on special stage 15 and retired, and a 40 second loss of time at Solberg, caused by a tire damage, turned the three into a duel. By the end of the day, Ogier increased his lead to 9.5 seconds. On the last day of the event nothing changed in the order of the top placed. Only before the last special stage was there a Ford stable control again and Latvala deliberately received a two-minute time penalty and left his better position to his team-mate Mikko Hirvonen, already in the second rally in a row. With his fifth win of the season, Ogier again took second place in the World Championship standings and single-handedly increased Citroën's lead over Ford by three more points. Sordo came second and Solberg came third. With the help of his team-mate and more than three minutes behind, Hirvonen finished fourth. After this event, both Ogier and Hirvonen were three points behind Sébastien Loeb in the World Championship standings. A few hours after the rally, third-placed Petter Solberg was disqualified. The reason was that the subsequent weighing found his vehicle to be four kilograms too light. Therefore, all drivers moved up one position from fourth place.

In Spain the hunt for the drivers' world title turned into a duel. Loeb won the Catalonia Rally for the seventh time in a row this year by over two minutes over his rival for the World Drivers' Championship, Hirvonen. Hirvonen was, for the third time in a row, made possible by a stable management of the Ford works team. His team-mate Latvala had to provoke a two-minute time penalty to let Hirvonen pass and was third. Ogier was eliminated and was, 29 points behind, in third place in the World Cup. Nevertheless, the Citroën Total World Rally Team won early in this rally, the seventh title since 2003, in the Manufacturers' World Championship .

At the end of the season, the Rally Great Britain , Hirvonen retired on the second day due to an overheated engine. After a driving mistake, he hit a tree and damaged his radiator in the process. Loeb won his eighth drivers' world championship title before the end of the event. On a liaison stage, Loeb was involved in an accident by a Spanish wrong-way driver. With a damaged radiator, he had to give up the rally. But that did not change anything about the championship placements of the top drivers. Latvala won its first rally of the year in Wales.
