Looks like Stéphane Lefèbvre changes direction of his program and would run JWRC too :confused:
Well as it´s still PSA maybe it´s easier to change for him. Thought he was announced with 208 R2 for selected ERC events also in 2014?Quote:

Citroën signed a 2 year contract and yes u can do the JWRC with your own or a rented DS3 from any team in the world.
Cypriot driver Panikos Polykarpou aims for JWRC. Jaga Motorsport chose him as its official driver for 2014 and Polykarpou has to pay only his personal expenses (travel costs, insurance) in order to start in JWRC. :bounce:
Jaga Motorsport will pay some expences? As I know they are normal company which is renting cars...Quote:

Jaga Motorsport? That´s some kind of crazy ;)
According to Rallye-Magazin, Christian Riedemann goes for full JWRC season ;)
inside WRC3, 6 events, all results counts

As such, the FIA and European Rally Championship promoter have already introduced an exciting new initiative from 2014 for youngsters under the age of 25, enabling them to contest the ERC Junior Championship in an R2 car with control tyres. With the intention being to roll out this initiative across the other regional championships, drivers will have the opportunity to hone their skills on an international stage in a cost-effective formula that enables them to build experience before making the step up to the Junior WRC Championship within the FIA World Rally Championship.
From 2014, competitors in the Junior WRC Championship - with an upper age limit of 28 - will take to the wheel of a more competitive car in the shape of the Citroën DS3 R3. In order to maintain a cap on costs, the cars will all run on Michelin tyres and fuel from the FIA’s designated supplier. Seasonally allocated numbers (51-70) will be given to each driver registered in the Junior WRC.
Importantly, competitors are also permitted to register for the Junior WRC Championship, or individual events, using their own Citroën DS3 R3.
THE ALL-INCLUSIVE JUNIOR WRC CHAMPIONSHIP PACKAGE
In a change to previous years, Citroën Racing has put together an all-inclusive package for competitors, including:
- Participation in the full WRC event
- Car, tyres and fuel
- Team personnel (mechanic and engineer)
- Shakedown
- Entry fee for the Junior WRC and the WRC 3 Championship
- Accommodation for the crew
- Insurance
- Overalls for the crew
Note: Any driver registered for the Junior WRC Championship will be eligible for and automatically entered in the FIA WRC 3 Championship.
PARTICIPATION
The qualifying events in the 2014 FIA Junior WRC Championship are:
Rally de Portugal 3-6 April
Rally Poland 26-29 June
Rally Finland 31 July-3 August
Rallye Deutschland 21-24 August
Rallye de France 2-5 October
Wales Rally GB 13-16 November
Registration for the Junior WRC Championship may only be made in the name of a driver. However, entry to individual events may be made in the name of a driver, team or sponsor, or in the name of an ASN designated team, ensuring that competitors do not have to commit to the whole Championship but can be classified in the standings.
AWARDS
Points for each round will be awarded to Junior WRC drivers and co-drivers based on the Junior WRC overall classification (a single point will no longer be awarded for stage wins). All the results will count towards the Championship title.
A Junior WRC Championship Nations Trophy classification will be drawn from the Junior WRC classification and a trophy awarded to the winning nation.
The 2014 FIA Junior WRC Champion will receive a prize that helps further their career in the sport; six rallies counting towards the 2015 FIA WRC 2 Championship driving a Citroën DS3 R5.
Commenting about the FIA Junior WRC Championship, Rally Director Jarmo Mahonen said: “It is our intention to establish this pyramid so that drivers wishing to pursue a professional career in our sport have a clear path, learning on all levels as they progress. Now, drivers can compete for a prestigious junior title in the European Championship in a smaller capacity car, at a very reasonable cost, before graduating to the slightly more powerful Citroën DS3 R3 in the Junior WRC. Here, in front of influential manufacturers, they have the chance to make their mark and with a drive in an R5 car for the winner, this really completes the logical path to the full WRC.”
When is published by FIA entrylist of JWRC 2014 :confused:
Probably with the wider Portugal entry list, since it's the first round of the JWRC.

About the costs. Can anyone say how much budget you will need taking part JWRC 2014 with DS3 R3T. If you're renting a car. Just curious.
JWRC entry fee= 2500 (just to take part in series)
Each event entry fee = 3895 EUR*6= 23370 EUR
Renting DS3R3= ca 35-40 EUR/km= ca 15 000 EUR event= 90 000
around 24 tyres for one event (approximately 300 EUR/tyre, mostly including VAT)*6=ca 43 000 EUR
+ accomodation costs for small team in EU= ca 5000 eur
+ travel costs for small team in EU = ca 10000 eur
=ca 175000 EUR
+ fuel (if not included in rent)
+ insurance/damage to the car etc.
So, season cost would be roughly up to 200 000 eur.
You can buy DS3 R3 as well... for around 75 000 EUR.
This estimate seems to be a little on the thin side. I would reckon at least 250-300 000 EUR for a full championship campaign. In comparison four events in JERC is approximately a third of this.Quote:

So Tom, who is the fastest French driver from that group? I think if he had stayed in Citroen JWRC not Fiesta DMack Quentin Gilbert would have won.Quote:

Of course, slower than Lefebvre, but he has the experience of the car.
Stéphane Lefèbvre is the fastest according to me ;)
Would be incredible if he achieved the victories the same year in JWRC + ERC Junior :p
But unlikely to be the case in ERC though(one retirement + only 4 rallies in program) :|
Molly Taylor her co driver will be her mother! A first time combination in the WRC I think..
Csucsu test

An interview of the first Cypriot who will drive in JWRC, Panikos Polykarpou. You can use google translate. :)
http://www.r40.gr/index.php?option=com_ ... Itemid=187
Jan ?erný confirmed today that he will do both JWRC and JERC (besides that also some Czech events)!
Alex Gelsomino has confirmed he will co drive for Salah Bin Eidan of Kuwait during Rally Portugal. Unclear at present if this is just for Portugal or will it extend into future events as well.
I've read about crash of Christian Riedemann during a test last sunday...I hope nothing serious and hope he will be OK for start of Rally Portugal(starting with tomorrow's shakedown) :confused:
Classification after day one rally Portugal ;)
1-Allastair Fisher
2-Martin Koci
3-Simone Campedelli
4-Stéphane Lefèbvre
5-Christian Riedemann
6-Jan Cerny
7-Molly Taylor
8-Simone Tempestini
9-Sylvain Michel
10-Panikos Polykarpou
11-Federico della Casa
12-"Csucsu"
13-Aaron Domzala
I'm really impressed by Koci, I didn't expect him to fight with Campedelli for the 2nd place of JWRC :)
Seeing his lack of experience from the event and the car, Lefèvbre did a good job too ;)
You forgot:Quote:
