Notes ^1 – Rally Sweden was shortened due to warm weather conditions turning frozen roads into soft, muddy gravel and making the studded tyres unsafe to use.[6] ^2 – Rally China was cancelled due to weather damage caused by torrential storms and flooding in July.[7] ^3 – The route of Rally Australia was shortened following concerns over dust reducing visibility in forest stages.
