The 2007 World Rally Championship was the 35th season in the FIA World Rally Championship. The season began on 19 January, with the 75ème Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo and ended on 2 December, with the 63rd Wales Rally of Great Britain. Citroën's Sébastien Loeb won his fourth consecutive drivers' world championship ahead of Ford's Marcus Grönholm and Mikko Hirvonen. Ford took the manufacturers' title.
Remote service was introduced. Between two sets of stages, instead of returning to the main service location, cars are serviced in a remote location. The service duration is 15 minutes, only four mechanics are allowed and the only parts which can be changed (save for tires) are the ones carried in the car itself.
Since 2006 manufacturer is understood to mean a manufacturer, a team designated by a manufacturer, or a privateer team taking part with a single make of car. In 2007 two categories were created to compete for the Manufacturer's championship, replacing the previous M1 and M2 categories:
Manufacturer (M)
Manufacturer Team (MT)
