Explanation
The ranking is primarily based on the overall standings of the World Rally Championship (WRC). For the period before the establishment of the WRC, the system includes the most prestigious events, with a dominant role assigned to the historic Rally Monte Carlo. The period 1973–1977 is treated separately, as only the manufacturers’ championship was officially recognized within the WRC during those years.
