The World Motor Sport Council approved the calendar of the 2015 FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies at the meeting in Beijing on Friday, September 12. Baja Poland with the HQ in Szczecin and special stages in Dobra and Drawsko Pomorskie is traditionally scheduled for the last weekend of August.

The rivalry for the championship titles will be held during 10 rounds of the World Cup, which are the same as the current season. The changes refer only to the dates of the events and the most significant is moving Italian Baja from March to June.

The World Motor Sport Council also introduced some changes to the regulations and the most important are as follows:

- In order to reduce costs for competitors, a number of new regulations have been implemented from January 2015. FIA Priority drivers competing in Bajas will be allowed to use only eight tyres per competition. If a tyre is damaged during the running of the competition, it may be replaced with the agreement of the FIA Technical Delegate. However such a change will incur a 90 second time penalty for each tyre changed. In timed service areas on Bajas, only two mechanics and one engineer may work on a competing vehicle, and competitors may only refuel at commercial fuel stations using fuel on sale to the public.

- In order to adjust the balance of performance, restrictor diameters will be amended in 2015 depending on the average altitude of the competition. As such, the average altitude of the total distance of selective sections must be published in the Supplementary Regulations.

- The definition of a marathon cross country rally has been amended to be a competition with at least 5000 kilometres of selective sections, previously 3000 kilometres.

- The results of all Cross-Country rallies (4) and the best five Bajas (out of 6) will be taken into account for the final classification.
