Hi, friends!

Junior World Rally Championship exists inside of WRC from season 2001. I remember good those days, Loeb and Dallavilla were fighting for the title that year. Loeb won it easily. He even drove one WRC rally and the title decider was at the last rally. Dallavilla retired and Lob was 2001 JWRC champion.

I like those days because of the screaming little beasts in non-turbo Super 1600ccm engines. Loeb was in Citroen Saxo Super 1600 and Dallavilla drove Fiat Punto Super 1600. Both drivers were in the works teams so they had all the parts they really need.

These days there are only one manufacturer in Junior WRC championship, and it's M-Sport Ford Fiesta R2T. This T means turbo. New generation of R2 class means 1000ccm with turbo charger which produces around 190bhp.

Cars can be rented directly from M-Sport and the price was around 130 000€ last season. It's a big money but if yo win it, you will get a new Ford Fiesta R5 with all the parts needed for the competition in WRC2 class in the following season.

So, the calendar should look like this:

Rally Sweden (snow)

Tour de Corse - Rallye de France (tarmac)

Rally Italia Sardegna (gravel)

Rally Finland (gravel)

Wales Rally GB (mud)

Thanks for photos and video to WRC.com and Youtube.

Enjoy some beer!

Cheers!
