The future stars of tomorrow turning a WRC dream into reality
Twelve months ago, a career in the World Rally Championship seemed unattainable for a group of inexperienced young drivers. Thanks to the FIA Rally Star initiative, created by Jerome Roussel, they are now daring to make their dreams a reality. Recently, four aspiring drivers, discovered by the scheme, took their first step on the WRC ladder by competing in the Junior WRC on Rally Sweden. Despite their limited experience, they impressed on the same stages as established WRC drivers. This initiative aims to uncover future champions and provide opportunities for those who may not have had access to rallying. A global search resulted in four pairs of drivers from different parts of the world, each receiving a chance to build a career in the WRC. With a fully funded four-year program, including JWRC campaigns, FIA Rally Star is taking talent development in rallying to new heights.
