To make the FIA European Rally Championship for Teams easier to follow and understand, and for clarification purposes, any ERC registered driver will be eligible to score Teams’ points regardless of the ERC category they contest. As previously a maximum of three cars can be registered for the purpose of scoring Teams’ championship points. A registered team entering more than three cars must nominate its scoring drivers prior to the completion of the administrative checking procedure. If no declaration is made, the team in question will not be eligible for points.
While Paddon’s BRC Racing Team is a one-car operation and the New Zealander finished fourth overall, two of the drivers finishing ahead – Simone Tempestini and Mathieu Franceschi – were not chasing Teams’ championship points, which allowed BRC to claim 30 points. HRT Racing, which guided Miklós Csomós to third place, wasn’t eligible for points due to it not making its driver nomination as a four-car entrant.
