Notes:
- † — The Mini WRC Team lost its manufacturer status in February when parent company BMW withdrew works support from the team, demoting them to customer team status.[4][5] The team kept the points it scored on Rallye Monte Carlo although it was no longer classified as a manufacturer entrant.[6] They were replaced by the WRC Team Mini Portugal as the official Mini works team.
- ‡ — Armindo Araújo World Rally Team and Palmeirinha Rally merged to form WRC Team Mini Portugal.[5] The points they scored at the Rallye Monte Carlo were removed from the manufacturers' championship.[6]
