Calendar changes
  • Early plans to run the Rally Argentina over an "endurance" format with stages in neighbouring Uruguay and Chile were abandoned in favour of a new route which featured over 500 km (311 mi) of competitive stages and made it the longest rally in the modern era of the sport.[2] The rally also featured the longest stage of the championship, the 66 km (41 mi) El Durzano–Ambul stage. The extended rally route has been promoted as a prototype of a format proposed by FIA President Jean Todt.[2]
  • The Jordan Rally was removed from the calendar. Rally Abu Dhabi was expected to be promoted in its place, but was omitted from the final calendar and given candidate status for future inclusion in the championship.
  • The Wales Rally GB was brought forward from its traditional November date to September, making Rally of Spain the season finale.
  • The route of the Rally Finland was revised from the 2011 event, and included the return of several famous stages, including Ouninpohja, Mokkipera and Palsankyla.[3]
  • The Rally Italia Sardegna was moved back from May to October.
  • The Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo returned to the calendar after a three-year absence.
  • The Rally New Zealand replaced Rally Australia, in keeping with their event-sharing arrangement.

  • In November 2011, Europol issued an arrest warrant for Russian banker Vladimir Antonov at the request of Lithuanian prosecutors as part of an investigation into asset-stripping at Antonov's commercial banks, Snoras and Latvijas Krājbanka.[80] Antonov, who held the commercial rights to the sport through Convers Sports Initiatives, was arrested in London two days later and charged with fraud and embezzlement.[81] Convers Sports Initiatives initially claimed to be unaffected by the arrest,[80] but went into receivership at the end of the month.[82] Promoter North One Sport issued a statement clarifying the situation, confirming that they were unaffected by Antonov's arrest and parent company Convers Sports Initiatives entering into receivership and that they would co-operate with the investigation into Bank Snoras.[83] However, North One Sport were subsequently forced to find new investors, with bids from Qatar and French broadcaster Eurosport.[84] It was later reported that negotiations with the Qatari bidders had collapsed, forcing the closure of North One Sport.[85]
  • The FIA World Motor Sport Council permitted tyre suppliers to provide teams and drivers with a second tyre compound, following several complaints from drivers about a lack of grip at the 2011 Rally Australia.[86]
  • On gravel rallies, shakedown stage will be used as a qualifying stage for P1 and P2 drivers. According to the results of qualifying, P1 and P2 crews – in order of fastest to slowest – will then select their start positions for the first day of the rally.[87] On day two and three, P1 and P2 drivers will restart in reverse order according to their provisional overall classification. On asphalt rallies, regulations in previous years still apply.[88]
  • Organisers of WRC events will be allowed to specify whether cars failed to complete a section are permitted to restart the event on the next day.[87] Restart after retirement, formerly known as SupeRally, will now be called "Rally 2".[88]
