Notes

edit
  1. ^ Although the rally was run in France, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile does not consider France to be the host nation.
  2. ^ Konstantin Aleksandrov is Russian, but he competes as a neutral competitor using the ANA flag as Russian national emblems were banned by the association due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[8]
