[Andre Oliveira]

So, first name should be Junior ERC champion Nortbert Maior.

[rp]

Probably Diego Dominguez, Tom Rensonnet & Eamonn Kelly will continue.

[WRCStan]

Four of the six FIA Rally Stars, top three here should make it.

Romet Jürgenson (23, Estonia)
Taylor Gill (19, Australia)
Jose ‘Abito’ Caparo (26, Peru)
Max Smart (20, South Africa)
Annia Cilloniz (24, Peru)
Abdullah Al-Tawqi (24, Oman)

[Andre Oliveira]

Pitty not all. Annia and Al-Tawqi should be out (judging by their performances)

[Chema]

Roberto Blach will probably continue next season

Jürgenson has shown good speed in the recent evets. Considering his overall performance he probably will be in the Junior WRC next year.

Yes, there should always be french driver. Also british and finnish are missing.

In Rally Finland at least one finnish driver will drive in JWRC.

[Sulland]

How do they qualify for this competition?

Otherwise a good bunch in JWRC in 24!

How can be possible if 2025 4WD cars tyres will be Hankook?

[TypeR]

Maybe a copy-paste error or testing is done woth Pirelli's(although it wouldn't make sense for junior driver to change between different tyres).

[Rallyest]

Jwrc reward is a great thing, too bad it kills the talent at the same time cause the car still sucks ass compared to skodas and Toyotas and drivers are falling back because their results are "mediocre" after the title, and nobody notices them, happened to Virves and will keep happening till the car is way it is.

Yeah, I feel the same. Let's see what Jürgenson and his team come up. I don't know if it is possible but they should combine free events with M-Sport with some paid events with Skoda/Toyota to verify his speed.

[EstWRC]

Agree. Virves is a good example showing how the pace was with ford and how it is now with skoda

[saepuru]

according to Dirtfish, Jürgenson will do a full wrc2 season with Fiesta rally2. 4 free events combined by 3 paid by fia rallystar programe.

[deephouse]

Cool. At least they give it a shot the JWRC champions deserve. They could do it too for WRC2 champions. One or two events in Rally1 car paid by that kind of program in 4th or 5th car.

[EstWRC]

The GOAT congratulating Romet
