1976 World Rally Championship season
- 1976 World Rally Championship season
The 1976 World Rally Championship season was the fourth season of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) World Rally Championship (WRC). 10 events were included on the schedule, as the series revistited the same locations as the previous season. The only change in the schedule was a slight shuffle in order, with Portugal being moved up to March from July.
Lancia again repeated its title, with the Stratos HF accumulating another four rally wins, and scoring more than twice as many points as its nearest competitor, Opel. The Ascona's consistency was enough for second place overall, despite no wins. Lancia's dynasty, however, would not continue, as this was to be the last WRC title for the Stratos.
From 1973 to 1978, the WRC only awarded a season championship for the winningest manufacturer. Scoring was given for the highest placing entry for each manufacturer. Thus if a particular manufacturer was to place 2nd, 4th, and 10th, they would receive points for 2nd place only. However, the manufacturer would still gain an advantage in scoring from its other entries, as the points for the 4th and 10th place entries would be denied to other manufacturers.
Schedule of points by place:
* 1st place: 20 points
* 2nd place: 15 points
* 3rd place: 12 points
* 4th place: 10 points
* 5th place: 8 points
* 6th place: 6 points
* 7th place: 4 points
* 8th place: 3 points
* 9th place: 2 points
* 10th place: 1 point
