World Rally Championship 1977 results
Encyclopedia
The 1977 World Rally Championship season was the fifth season of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile
(FIA) World Rally Championship
(WRC). The schedule was expanded by one event to 11, with some changes to the locations visited. Morocco was dropped from the schedule while new rallies were introduced in Quebec
and New Zealand
.
Due to internal politics within the company, Lancia
failed to mount a significant effort to capture a fourth consecutive Championship. Instead, corporate partner Fiat
led the fight against Ford, ultimately triumphing in a tightly contested battle that lasted most of the year.
From 1973 to 1978, the WRC only awarded a season championship for the winningest manufacturer. Scoring was modified in 1977 to a more complex system including points both for overall and group placement. A car would still have to place in the overall top 10 to score points.
In addition to the Championship for Manufacturers, the FIA began awarding the FIA Cup for Rally Drivers. All rallies of the WRC, in addition to another 10 events, were counted towards the drivers' totals. In 1979, the Cup for Drivers was incorporated into the WRC as the World Rally Championship for Drivers.
