Yohan Rossel won the driver's championship, while Maciek Szczepaniak took the co-driver's title.[3]
The 2020 WRC3 driver and co-driver champions Jari Huttunen and Mikko Lukka did not defend their titles in 2021 due to progression to WRC2.[4] Frenchman Yohan Rossel took the driver's title at the final round but due to his employing multiple co-drivers through the season, the co-driver title went to Maciek Szczepaniak, regular co-driver to Kajetan Kajetanowicz.[5]
The 2021 WRC3 season was the last to use Group Rally2 cars. From 2022 the championship would use only Group Rally3 cars.
