In the motorsport discipline of [[rallying]], '''Group Rally2''' is a formula of rally car specification determined by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] for use in its international competitions: the [[World Rally Championship]] (WRC) and regional championships. National rallying competitions also allow Group Rally2 cars to compete.
There are no subclasses despite the use of the word 'Group' in the name so 'Rally2' may be used alone with the same definition. The group was launched in 2019 with other similarly named groups after the introduction of the [[Rally Pyramid]] initiative to reorganise the classes of car and championships in international rallying was approved in June 2018.<ref name="RP21">{{cite web |title=FIA Rally Car Pyramid Brochure |url=https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/fia_rally_car_pyramid_brochure_-_february_2021.pdf}}</ref>


'''Group Rally2''' is a technical specification of [[rally car]] determined by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]]. It features 1.6L turbo engines, [[four-wheel drive]] and a maximum [[power-to-weight ratio]] of 4.2kg/hp. Rally2 cars are used in the [[World Rally Championship]] and continental championships; a few national rallying competitions also allow Group Rally2 cars to compete.
The formula for Group Rally2 cars was taken from [[R5_(rallying)|R5 class]] of [[Group R]] with the defining ruleset being renamed, this meant that any existing R5 car homologated or approved since their introduction in 2013 could continue to be used in Rally2 level competition.<ref name="J261 2021">{{cite web |title=Specific Regulations for Cars in Group Rally2 |url=https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/261_2021_wmsc_2020.12.16.pdf}}</ref> R5 cars were first introduced as an intended replacement for the [[Super 2000|S2000]] car.

In years prior to 2019, 'Rally 2' was used to describe the rules and scenario allowing a rally competitor to restart a rally the day following a retirement. This was renamed 're-start after retirement' in FIA regulations from 2019.<ref>{{cite web |title=2019 FIA World Rally Championship Sporting Regulations |url=https://www.juwra.com/images/regulations/2019WRCRegulations.pdf}}</ref> Rally2 should not be confused with R2 cars of [[Group R]] either, which are officially described as 'Rallye 2'.

AptitudePerformance

Group Rally2 is a technical specification of rally car determined by the FIA. It features 1.6L turbo engines, four-wheel drive and a maximum power-to-weight ratio of 4.2kg/hp. Rally2 cars are used in the World Rally Championship and continental championships; a few national rallying competitions also allow Group Rally2 cars to compete. The group was launched in 2019 with other similarly named groups after the introduction of the Rally Pyramid initiative to reorganise the classes of car and championships in international rallying was approved in June 2018.[1]

The formula for Group Rally2 cars was taken from R5 class of Group R with the defining ruleset being renamed, this meant that any existing R5 car homologated or approved since their introduction in 2013 could continue to be used in Rally2 level competition.[2] R5 cars were first introduced as an intended replacement for the S2000 car. There are no subclasses despite the use of the word 'Group' in the name, so 'Rally2' may be used alone with the same definition.

In years prior to 2019, 'Rally 2' was used to describe the rules and scenario allowing a rally competitor to restart a rally the day following a retirement. This was renamed 're-start after retirement' in FIA regulations from 2019.[3] Rally2 should not be confused with R2 cars of Group R either, which are officially described as 'Rallye 2'.

Definition

Group Rally2 cars are defined in FIA document '2021 Appendix J - Article 261' as Touring Cars or Large Scale Series Production Cars, supercharged Petrol engine, 4-wheel drive. A production touring car with at least 2500 identical units manufactured must be homologated in Group A, with all the components and changes that make it a Group Rally2 car homologated in an extension.[2] The power to weight ratio is 4.2kg/hp.[1]
