The Rally Drivers or Co-drivers of 13 European countries weren’t be able to score the results necessary to become part of the World Rally Ranking. The European countries not included in the WRR are Albania, Andorra, Bosnia – Herzegovina , Denmark, Vatican State, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro and Serbia.

World Rally Ranking is calculated through a points system, based on the importance, the sporting difficulty and the results obtained by drivers and co-drivers from around the world participating only in the rallies included in the FIA International Sporting Calendar.
The ranking is an objective and "impartial" standing, where rally driver of all nations see their value, the value of their victories and their results recognized as a whole, something that the current classification systems obviously do not allow, being based on standings for individual championships without a unique world classification.
Besides the overall ranking for drivers there is also one for co-drivers, and other partial rankings (by nation, by car, by manufacturer, by category, by surface).
The World Rally Ranking, just like other sports' rankings, is based on a computing system which assigns a base score, depending on the overall position obtained, then corrected through a system of coefficients to reflect the relevance, the importance, the difficulty and length of each rally, and therefore the importance of the result: the first factor is the validity of the rally, e.g. a World Rally Championship event has coeff. 15, a Middle East Rally Championship event has coeff. 9 etc etc .
All with maximum transparency: all the criteria can easily be verified in the IRDA Regulations on the www.worldrallyranking.com website.
Alongside the Rankings visible to all (the first 40 positions for each type of ranking) on the www.worldrallyranking.com website it is possible to access the complete rankings and to have the possibility to create customized rankings by registering with the form provided, by simply entering name and email address.
In short, a revolution for all the protagonists of the rally world, drivers, teams, journalists and fans.
All the results from January 1st 2010 to date of all the drivers and co-drivers of all nations in all the worldwide events in the FIA International Sporting Calendar have been included in the IRDA database.
