Are there any news/rumors about drivers in the new Junior WRC season 2017?
Possible names:
Oscar Solberg (N)
Nicolas Ciamin (F)
Juuso Nordgren (FIN)
Dennis Rådström (S)
Some mentioned Miko-Ove Niinimae (EST) as candidate
it was me, maybe yes, it is still unknown what he decides
Is Niinimae going to keep attempting the Junior category until he's 33?Quote:

Oscar was driving at WRC level (DDFT) already last year, and is son of Henning. Petter´s son Oliver is only 15y.Quote:

A few of the guys are new to me. Have to think Tannert will be a strong candidate, although Folb has more knowledge of the WRC rounds.
Like before I'd imagine a handful of them to be way off the pace. Given this has effectively merged two championships it's a shame it's not a bit stronger. But I guess it's scaled to the limitations of M-Sport Poland.
I was expecting also Oscar Solberg in the list... anyone knows what he will be up to?Quote:

Although I dont know many of the drivers I expect Rob Duggan to be right up there. He's very fast and consistent.
Nice to see a good championship for Juniors again!
Wiliam Wagner is also in.
He is very fast on gravel!Quote:
