April was left open with the belief at the time being that Britain would be moved to the spring in 2002, since there had been talks to relocate Rally GB to earlier in the year to make the event better for weather and tourism.6 December 2000 September move for Rally Great Britain https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/september-move-for-rally-great-britain-5018981/5018981/ 19 November 2024 Autosport The Safari rally was moved to the summer away from its traditional spring date, while Cyprus was also moved to the summer to be back to back with the Acropolis Rally. There had been plans to relocate Rally Australia from Perth to Melbourne with the event being based on the Rally of Melbourne that was part of the Australian Rally Championship at the time.9 June 2000 Rally Oz to move in 2001 https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/rally-oz-to-move-in-2001-5030121/5030121/ 19 November 2024 Autosport However these plans failed to materialize and the Rally remained in Perth. During the season, Rally GB was under the threat of cancellation due to the outbreak of foot in mouth disease in the United Kingdom, leading to the Rally of Lebanon being prepared as a replacement.Miller Duby 29 March 2001 MERC: Lebanon waits in the wings https://au.motorsport.com/rally/news/merc-lebanon-waits-in-the-wings/1196217/ 24 November 2024 Motorsport Rally GB was able to go ahead but with a more compact route which concentrated on more rural parts of the south of Wales and controversially removed popular stages such as Sweet Lamb and Myherin.2 May 2001 Rally GB set for even more compact route https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/rally-gb-set-for-even-more-compact-route-5006515/5006515/ 19 November 2024 Autosport Teams and drivers ManufacturersManufacturerCarTeamTyreNoDriversCo-DriversRoundsPeugeot206 WRCFRA Peugeot TotalMichelin1FIN Marcus GrönholmFIN Timo RautiainenAll2FRA Didier AuriolFRA Denis GiraudetAll16FIN Harri RovanperäFIN Risto Pietiläinen2–3, 5–10, 13–14FRA Gilles PanizziFRA Hervé Panizzi1, 4, 11–121913FordFocus RS WRC 01GBR Ford Motor Co LtdPirelli3ESP Carlos SainzESP Luis MoyaAll4GBR Colin McRaeGBR Nicky GristAll17FRA François DelecourFRA Daniel Grataloup1-13SubaruImpreza WRC2001JPN 555 Subaru World Rally TeamPirelli5GBR Richard BurnsGBR Robert ReidAll6NOR Petter SolbergGBR Phil Mills2–14EST Markko MärtinGBR Michael Park1184, 7, 9, 11–12, 14NOR Petter SolbergGBR Phil Mills1JPN Toshihiro AraiAUS Glenn MacNeall5–6, 10, 13193, 8, 10-1120721New Zealand Tony Sircombe14MitsubishiLancer Evo 6.5/Carisma GT Evo VI 1-10Lancer Evo WRC 11-14JPN Marlboro Mitsubishi RalliartMichelin7FIN Tommi MäkinenFIN Risto Mannisenmäki1-12FIN Timo Hantunen13FIN Kaj Lindström148BEL Freddy LoixBEL Sven SmeetsAllHyundaiAccent WRC 1-2Accent WRC2 3-14South_Korea Hyundai World Rally TeamMichelin9ITA Piero LiattiITA Carlo Cassina1, 4, 11–12SWE Kenneth ErikssonSWE Staffan Parmander2–3, 5–7, 9–10, 13–1410GBR Alister McRaeGBR David Senior1–7, 9–1419ITA Piero LiattiITA Carlo Cassina6, 1420FIN Juha KankkunenFIN Juha Repo9ŠkodaOctavia WRC Evo2CZE Škoda MotorsportMichelin11DEU Armin SchwarzDEU Manfred Hiemer1–9, 11–12, 1412BEL Bruno ThiryBEL Stéphane Prévot1–8, 11–12, 14BEL Georges Biar920CZE Roman KrestaCZE Jan Tománek8, 11, 14 World Rally Car entries ineligible to score manufacturer pointsManufacturerCarTeamTyreDriversCo-DriversRoundsFordFocus RS WRC 01GBR Ford Motor Co LtdPirelliGBR Mark HigginsGBR Bryan Thomas14ITA Paolo AndreucciITA Alessandro Giusti11CitroënXsara WRCFRA Citroën SportMichelinFRA Philippe BugalskiFRA Jean-Paul Chiaroni4, 7, 11–12ESP Jesús PurasESP Marc Martí4, 11–12SWE Thomas RådströmSWE Tina Thörner7FRA Sébastien LoebMCO Daniel Elena11SubaruImpreza WRC2001JPN 555 Subaru World Rally TeamPirelliGBR Neil WeardenGBR Trevor Agnew14MitsubishiCarisma GT Evo VIJPN Marlboro Mitsubishi RalliartMichelinSWE Thomas RådströmSWE Tina Thörner2JPN Katsuhiko TaguchiGBR Derek Ringer6FIN Toni GardemeisterFIN Paavo Lukander9-10HyundaiAccent WRC2South_Korea Hyundai World Rally TeamNOR Thomas KolbergNOR Werner Seigerud2NOR Kristian KolbergSWE Anders Dawidson2ŠkodaOctavia WRC Evo2CZE Škoda MotorsportMichelinSWE Stig BlomqvistVEN Ana Goñi9Peugeot206 WRCITA H.F.
