Production World Rally Championship

The series started in 1987 as FIA Cup for Production Rally Drivers and obtained the world championship status in 2002.

[1][2] The eligible cars were still Group N modified road cars such as the Subaru Impreza WRX and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

Between 2007 and 2009 the PWRC allowed Super 2000 cars alongside regular Group N entries.

In 2010 the S2000 cars were moved to a dedicated championship named SWRC (Super 2000 World Championship).

With the introduction of Group R cars since 2008, the PWRC was cancelled at the end of 2012 and was replaced by the World Rally Championship-3 open exclusively to 2WD based cars homologated in R1, R2 and R3 classes.
