The future stars of tomorrow turning a WRC dream into reality
Twelve months ago, a career in the World Rally Championship seemed like a distant dream for a group of inexperienced young drivers from around the world. Thanks to the FIA Rally Star initiative, created by Jerome Roussel, their dreams are becoming a reality. Recently, four of these aspiring drivers, initially overlooked for a rallying career, started their journey in the Junior WRC on Rally Sweden, sharing the stages with established names like Kalle Rovanpera and Ott Tanak. This initiative, aimed at discovering future champions, takes talent-scouting in rallying to a new level by offering a fully-funded four-year programme with a chance to compete in WRC2 for the champion. Among the selected drivers are Romet Jurgenson/Oja Siim from Estonia, Taylor Gill/Daniel Brkic from Australia, Max Smart/Cameron Fair from South Africa/Great Britain, and Jose Abito Caparo/Esther Gutierrez from Peru/Spain. The journey of these young drivers, each with a unique story, represents a new chapter in the world of rallying, full of challenges and opportunities for success.
