Vilius Rožukas will run in JWRC with C2 S1600.Good choise I think.He can race with all other cars.Also good that he had not chosen C2 R2 because he would be much slower.

JWRC Cars
Taken from WRC.com season intro of JWRC
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 ?
You're a 100% right. FIA should rattle the manufacturer's cage. Take the compromise or go. Rally 1s are dead in the water. If manufacturers don't agree, make Rally 2s as they are now the top category...
