List of World Rally Championship Drivers' Champions

List of World Rally Championship Drivers' Champions

The World Rally Championship Drivers' Championship is awarded by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile ("FIA") to the most successful World Rally Championship driver over a season, as determined by a points system based on event results. The drivers' championship was first awarded in 1977 and 1978 as an "FIA Cup for Drivers" title, to Sandro Munari and Markku Alén, respectively. The first official world champion in rallying was Björn Waldegård in 1979.

Overall, eighteen different drivers have won the championship. The first driver to win multiple championships was Walter Röhrl, in 1982. Juha Kankkunen was the first to reach three and four titles, and Tommi Mäkinen the first to win four consecutive championships. This was later matched by Sébastien Loeb, the current drivers' champion, who won his fourth world championship in 2007.
