JWRC 2014

I heard rumours at the start of the year it was going to switch to DS3's, so to say it was either JERC or JWRC in R2's is rubbish

It's not rubbish, it's just a fact. The FIA would not allow two Junior Series to run with R2's.

The expensive option was imposed on the WRC.

Come on, do You really believe FIA would do anything damaging WRC to help ERC? No way. That never happened and will never happen. WRC is the important championship for them. The fact they switched to DS3 R3 has probably more to do with PSA politics and the large number of Citroën trophy drivers in WRC 2013.

Besides that Your opinion is not fact. Fact is something absolutely clear without any doubts. This is not the case.

Fact is that Eurosport since the creation of IRC series always presented much more competitor friendly rules than FIA championships.

Maybe this will be the chance for the ERC Junior Cup, if the price is too high?

The price in 2012 was 119 000€ not quite sure if that stayed the same for 13. Will it get close to 200 000 in 14 with the carprice for a customer the double btw the Fiesta and the DS3.

Let me rephrase - I'm EXTREMELY certain - that this is the rationale behind the move to R3 for WRC level Junior series. And it will likely come out from the FIA that this is the reason.

I also understand that this new Junior series has no involvement of the WRC promoter, so no TV exposure can be assumed....

These are tough conditions in which to find an extra 100 grand...

Note the return of Michelin in JWRC too ;)

By the way, I think spanish driver Yerai Llemes wants to run JWRC 2014 too :confused:

Is Lemes going to keep competing in the 'youth' category until he's 44, because every year it seems he finds someone new is faster.

We just have to wait and see the number of teams signing up to J-WRC and ERC-J, and take the season from there.
But it might look like the price diff will be the most important factor for many teams.

In JWRC I know about three crews, but I am not interested in this championship so I am not so in regarding to informations. In ERC-J I expect around 15-20 crews.

Koci for JWrC ?
