The biggest question since the start of the season "Shoud WRC Trophy have their own article or not?" is finally resolved. I've created the 2017 WRC Trophy page and I'll need your assist in tidying it. Ivaneurope ( talk) 19:57, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
@ Pelmeen10 — could you please check your facts before making changes? Although there is a rally in Germany, it is known as Rally Deutschland, so the three-letter code should be DEU. Case in point, the rally report is 2017 Rallye Deutschland, not "2017 Rally Germany". You need to go back and undo all of the edits you made. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 08:32, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
WRC.com is a self-published source. The article needs third-party sources - sources written by someone separate to the sport. We go by the event names that the FIA and rally organisers use. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 23:28, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
The convention across the wider scope of WP:MOTOR is to use a three-letter code that is directly derived from the name of the event. Rallye Deutschland should be referred to as "DEU" because the event is known as Rallye Deutschland. Keeping the code as "GER" does not line up with the name of the event and we cannot change "Rallye Deutschland" to "Rally Germany" because it suits us.

I have re-read everything you have written. And you are wrong. The established practice at WP:MOTOR is to use a three-letter code derived from the event name. WP:WRC falls within the scope of WP:MOTOR. If you continue to refer to an event by a three-letter code that does not directly reflect the name of the event, you have introduced original research into an article. I direct your attention to the following discussions from the WP:MOTOR archive: this one, this one and this one. I would also like to point out that the ISO 3166-1 is preferred for country codes to avoid confusion. For example, "IND" could refer to Indonesia or India; under ISO 3166-1, "IND" refers to India and "INA" to Indonesia. By observing the ISO 3166-1, we introduce consistency across Wikipedia and it opens up other possibilities. For example, if both Corsica and Alsace were on the calendar, we could use the French flag for Alsace and the Corsican flag for Corsica. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 02:25, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:2018 World Rally Championship which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 05:46, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
These changes by anon user has some errors: 1) private entries did not enter under those entrant names 2) car numbers were different in some cases, but now changed to 1 specific. Even though reducing the code is somewhat reasonable. -- Pelmeen10 ( talk) 06:35, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
