Well, I think Xsara Fan just solved the question.

I just posted what I was told, by someone that has some good relations with Manfred Stohl. That's why I thought it would be right...

2013 FIA Junior WRC Championship

Hmm, not sure that's great news. Who else were interested?

We will see who will compete in JWRC next year. After bad years with WRC Academy I know that lot of drivers, which were thinking about it, will move their plans to different championships...

It is written in article on Autosport posted above. It is in czech language, but I think you can read Peugeot, Citroën, Renault and Toyota...

So, no changes at all? The only change is the name, isn't it?

Key thing will be price.

Perhaps by staying with M-sPort they have been able to reduce the price to competitors. If the price is lower and the TV coverage provided goes back to same level that NOS provided to the series, then it could be a very good thing.
