The 2022 FIA WRC3 Championship was the ninth season of WRC3 , a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile as the third-highest tier of international rallying, running in support of the 2022 World Rally Championship . It was open to privateers and teams using cars complying with Group Rally3 regulations.[ 1]
For the first time, WRC3 was split into Open and Junior championships with driver and co-driver titles awarded within each. The WRC3 Open Championship began in January 2022 with the Rallye Monte-Carlo and concluded in November 2022 with Rally Japan . The WRC3 Junior Championship started in February with Rally Sweden and the five-round championship concluded in September with Acropolis Rally. This was the FIA's new presentation of the previously existing Junior WRC Championship , which reverted back to an FIA title in 2023.
In the open championships, Lauri Joona won the drivers' title.[ 2] Robert Virves won the drivers' title.[ 3]

Open Championship for Drivers

Junior Championship for Co-Drivers In a change from the 2021 season, a teams championship will be contested but drivers will not be obliged to run in one. Points from the highest scoring 4 rounds of 5 entered will be considered for the championship.
The WRC3 Junior championship will be organised by M-Sport Ltd as an arrive-and-drive style competition as previously presented in Junior WRC Championship . Ford Fiesta Rally3 cars will be provided on 5 prescribed rounds for drivers born on or after 1 January 1993. Unlike the rules used in WRC2 Junior , drivers of Junior age who do not register and compete in this fashion will not be eligible for the WRC3 Junior championships.[ 1]

Crews were only allowed to enter a maximum of 5 events with the 4 best results scoring points in the championship.[ 1]
Points were awarded to the top ten classified finishers. An additional point was given for every stage win. The best four results out of five counted towards the final drivers’ and co-drivers’ standings. However, all points gained from stage wins were retained. Double points were awarded at the season's finale to those with at least 3 previous 2022 JWRC round starts.[ 1]
