All systems go for 2024 FIA Junior WRC

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.

The eagerly awaited 2024 FIA Junior WRC season kicks off this week at the legendary Rally Sweden (15 – February).

Based out of the university city of Umeå, Rally Sweden welcomes the largest FIA Junior WRC line-up in two decades, with a record-breaking 19 crews registered for round one. They will pilot identical Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evos, exclusively equipped with Pirelli tyres and Wolf Lubricants, through the frozen forests of the Västerbotten region.

As the only pure snow and ice fixture on the FIA World Rally Championship calendar, Rally Sweden presents the ultimate winter challenge. Studded tyres are essential and provide remarkable grip as drivers 'lean' their cars against the snowbanks at ultra-high speeds.

Diego Domínguez finished as last year's championship runner-up, and the Paraguayan will be aiming to put all of his past experience to good use in pursuit of the top spot. Other returnees include Eamonn Kelly, Roberto Blach and Tom Rensonnet.

However, the 13 Junior WRC newcomers will be hot on their heels, with hotshots including Romet Jürgenson, Bruno Bulacia, Norbert Maior and Mille Johansson all eager to prove themselves on the global stage.

Crews will have to be on form from the outset. 'Wolf Stage Wins' mean a single championship point is awarded for every stage victory throughout 2024 as the drivers fight for a life-changing prize which includes an arrive-and-drive package to contest four European rounds of the 2025 WRC in an M-Sport Ford Fiesta Rally2 car.

Also up for grabs this season is the 'Craig Breen Spirit of Rallying Award', named after the 2011 champion who tragically passed away last year. At the season's conclusion, an independent judging panel will select the recipient based on who they feel best epitomises the never-give-up attitude and passion for the sport that Breen was universally admired for.

The rally begins on Thursday afternoon and includes 18 special stages totalling more than 300km before Sunday afternoon's finish.

Maciej Woda, FIA Junior WRC Championship Manager, said: "Rally Sweden is a truly magical event on a surface which every rally driver must master if they are to progress to the top echelons of the sport. Add to that the huge field of M-Sport Poland-built Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evo cars, and I think we've got all the ingredients for a very, very exciting week.

"Predicting a winner from the 19-car entry is an impossible task, but I can't wait to see the battles unfold out on the stages. Above all, I hope that every crew enjoys their experience of this extraordinary rally."
