After Virves’ title, who will we have in Junior WRC next year?
In the current drivers:
- Virves will go WRC-2 for sure
- Pajari is also as good as sure in WRC-2
- Joona has won WRC-3 Open and sounds to want to go to Rally2 according to interviews
- Armstrong closes his budget very late this season, will he be able to do it again after a second defeat in a row?
- Creighton did a Rally2 drive in Spain but it was a prize drive.
- No new about McRae Kimathi ... but he loses the Africa Junior title this year to Hamza Anwar.
Among the new drivers:
- Laurent Pellier will be there as ERC4 Junior champion (and will have full 5-round program according to promoter instead of 4-round prize program)
- Max McRae, nephew of Colin, is interested
- Toni Herranen is also interested
Let’s hope more than the 6 regulars of this year but quite skeptical is the prize driver is still so low.
Maybe it would be a good learning for the 3 young Japanese hired by Toyota this year; well for sure, it’s complicated for Toyota to register their drivers in a M-Sport category but facing drivers such as Pellier and making WRC rounds is a good challenge.
Roope Korhonen made a deal with Rautio about doing WRC3 rounds, but not sure if that means JWRC or not
I thought this was Armstrongs last year because he is to old.
At least in 2024 we will have the 4 FIA Rally Start finalists.
