Notes

  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.[6]
