Take a selection of the world’s most talented young rally drivers from a wide range of countries, let them drive seriously fast cars from leading car manufacturers in seven locations around the world and you have the FIA Junior World Rally Championship (FIA J-WRC).
The word ‘Junior’ doesn’t mean the rallying is any less heart-stopping. Nor does it mean the drivers are any less talented. Far from it. They are quite simply ‘young drivers in small cars’. We’ve brought together drivers that are younger, hungrier and have more to prove – they want to be the WRC champions of the future and they’re going to put their foot to the floor to get there.
Just like their heroes in the FIA World Rally Championship, these drivers – who are all 28 years old or younger – have to pit their wits against the toughest opponent of all, the clock. In each event, they have to compete for three days of intense rally driving on closed public roads and whoever finishes in the fastest time wins.
Millions of fans are blown-away by the Junior division of the WRC – both live and on TV – and a 26-minute highlight programme produced by WRC TV covers the action in all rounds. In 2007, 51 channels covering 218 territories televised the high-speed action and with rapidly expanding TV coverage, this figure is set to rise in 2008.
