    Win as in, they get a car for free? Or they can do a WRC2 program in a Ford Fiesta R5 (for free)?

    They get the registration papers so yes, a very nice "trophy". Pirelli also supplies the winner with free tyres for all 7 wrc2 events, pays registration and fuel is free. The car will be the new Fiesta mk8 R5 if i remember correctly.

    M-Sport: "As well as their very own Fiesta R5, the champion will also receive free WRC 2 registration as well as free fuel and a generous tyre package for the 2019 WRC 2 season."

    If you count some amount to experience (5 WRC events) this JWRC is maybe cheapest way to buy new model FIESTA R5.

    The costs are quite high, but if you can win you get a very nice price!

    This is also the cheapest way to get your driving footage to the WRC broadcasts or your name and picture on the wrc homepage.

    https://twitter.com/MSportLtd/status/940275499305177089 here you can see some of the contenders at the M-Sport Poland factory. There's a scene with their badges on the table, including Callum Devine, Jesse Turunen, Josh Mc???lean, Joseph Matar, Jani Luhtaniemi, Dave Holder, Rodolphe Asmar

    Only one I know is Callum Devine. Saw him in Ypres and was impressed by his speed, I think he had a change for the title!

    This was the meeting for anyone who is interested about the JWRC. Arranged by M-Sport Poland and Pirelli. There is a difference to be interested and to be a contender, approximately 200 000 reasons I guess...

    Julian Wagner (austrian 2wd champ 2017) is also in that video...
