2023

Hyundai's Craig Breen dies in an pre-event test week before Rally Croatia. As a mark of respect, Hyundai only entered two cars in Rally Croatia, choosing to keep Breen's spot vacant. Toyota honourably proposed to nominate only two cars in the event, which was accepted. FIA retired competition number 42, Breen's number.

Neuville is found out to have conducted illegal recce in Safari and is subsequently disqualified from the rally.

M-Sport suffers engine problems - in Estonia Tanak's suspect engine is replaced between shakedown and rally start -> 5 min penalty. In Finland Tanak retires with engine problems. He's out of championship fight.

Acropolis comes under threat of cancellation - first large forest fires and then extensive flooding from rains. Latter forces cancellation of shakedown and some stages are shortened.
