FIA Academy
JWRC has its last season in 2010, and the FIA Academy for Rally will take over.
Some news here, and we will know more after Spain.

IMO this is the right way to go for the youngsters. No rallies overseas and R2 because they’re real competition cars compared to a N4. Using the same make for all drivers is also fair but which one to choose.

No more Pirelli Star Drivers, now FIA will select 5 out 16 drivers on 23rd this month during shootout in Spain, and those 5 will get WRC Academy drive.

IMHO, it's good to have a one-make series, just like many formulas... cheap car, low budget, big prize.

So how are the 16 chosen - is it the NSA that chooses, or how is it done ? So you can not get a budget and drive the series yourself ?

Australia has two representatives - Brendan Reeves and Molly Taylor.
Molly was nominated by the FIA Women and Motor Sport Commission.

I believe Brendan was nominated by the FIA APRC Working Group based on his performances in this year's APRC."Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." Steve McQueen

What is happening on the shootout, is it tomorrow, or how does it work ?
At 19:15 Saturday, the FIA are announcing a new WRC event for 2025 at Sardegna. The event, I don't know - perhaps Paraguay.
