So in your opinion, it's FIA Junior World Rally Championship Championship?
You cannot compare it with Moto2 or MX2 as it's totally different government body. But you can compare it with other support championship by FIA.
So you have:
FIA Hypercar World Endurance Drivers’ Championship x FIA Endurance Trophy for LMP2 Drivers
FIA Formula One World Championship x FIA Formula 2 Championship
FIA World Rallycross Championship x FIA RX2e Championship
See? Only Kalle Rovanperä is WORLD Rally Champion, meanwhile Emil Lindholm is WRC2 Champion... Also FIA is well known for that they don't really gives world championship status easily. For like 7 years Formula E was not WORLD championship, same for rally raid.
All I did was present an idea in context of an on-topic discussion point. Just because you use uppercase doesn't make your points any more valid or valuable then mine. No need to be so curt, cut the cut the crap crap.Quote:

I don't think anyone is saying that there cannot or shouldn't be Junior world champion. But there isn't Junior world champion, only Junior WRC Champion.
Sure, there could be debate if there is even need for junior world champion in rally or any other motorsport (except karting or kart-cross ofc). In traditional sports, junior championships are here because of physical abilities of people younger than about 20. In rally it's more about experiences.
But in term on this discusion: it doesn't really matter if someone is Junior World Rally Champion or Junior WRC Champion. It only matters on paper.
Good for the competition!Quote:
