This list includes manufacturers and teams that entered the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers in the seasons where it was necessary to register or nominate teams, and/or where it was possible to have non-manufacturer teams. A true list of all marques entered over the entire WRC history could potentially number into the hundreds, indeed the FIA historic database of homologated cars includes thousands of models from hundreds of manufacturers up to 2006, many of which would have been eligible for inclusion.[1] Cars from 34 different manufacturers entered the first WRC event alone, the 1973 Monte Carlo Rally.[2]
In this list the manufacturer is presented in the first column, this is the entity that would be responsible for car homologations (and approving any third party to act as competitor in its name). In the second column is the names of teams, which may not necessarily be a company, and may have sponsors included. The 2023 WRC sporting regulation defines a team as "made up of the competitor, the crew and support personnel."
