The cars
The FIA Junior World Rally Championship is the world's premier motorsport category for B-Segment cars - the category often described as the 'hot hatchbacks'. All cars in the J-WRC are front wheel drive and have a total length of 3600 - 4150 mm.
Eligible cars must be homologated in one of four technical classes defined by the FIA:
1 - Super 1600 (engine capacity less than 1600cc)
2 - Group N cars (engine capacity of less than 2000cc)
3 - Selected Group A cars (engine capacity of less than 2000cc)
4 - Group R cars

2006 was the first time that cars from Group A and Group N were eligible for the FIA J-WRC. Although it can be expected that Super 1600 cars will battle for overall glory, Group A and N cars are the only cars eligible for the Rookie Award.


Anyone that know what cars have been selected for point 3: Selected Gr A cars ?

How quick do you expect Ogier to be, compared to people like Tirabassi and Bonato?

"3rd on Shakedown!
The feeling in the car during shakedown was really good. We found a good speed and the few seconds up to the top is nothing we are thinking about. The most important thing is that the feeling in car is good!

Now we are looking forward until tomorrow and for sure we're aiming for 1st position from the beginning!"
