Ove godine natjecat će se u 16 klasa u kojima će sudjelovati ukupno 182 vozača. Jedna od zanimljivosti je da se japanac Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima, inače vitalni 62-godišnjak neće pojaviti u klasi Unlimited (najprestižnija klasa), već će se utrkivati u klasi Electric. Da se zna, Nobuhiro ima rekordnih 9 pobjeda u klasi unlimited, jednako koliko imaju i vozačke legende koje su se natjecale u ovoj disciplini (Walter Rohrl, Ari Vatanen, braća Unser, Rod Millen).
