Secto Rally Finland has been included in the FIA Junior WRC 2024 calendar after the one-make series’ season was announced.
The Junior WRC calendar for 2024 is open to drivers aged up to 30 who will be driving Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evos prepared by M-Sport Poland. The calendar includes five iconic rallies spread across a variety of surfaces. The legendary Secto Rally Finland, known for its lightning-fast roads and stomach-churning jumps, makes a return to Junior WRC after not being used since 2019. Rally Sweden, held in the snowy countryside of Umeå, kicks off the season in February and provides an ice-driving challenge. Croatia Rally, the only all-asphalt test of the year, presents blind crests, fast corners, and a varied surface. Rally Italia Sardegna demands a unique approach with its soft and sandy gravel surface becoming rougher as each car passes. EKO Acropolis Rally Greece serves as the season decider and offers famous stages and double classification points. The eventual champion will receive a career-defining prize package featuring fully-funded WRC2 drives in an M-Sport Fiesta Rally2 in 2025, as well as 200 Pirelli tires and a pre-event test day before each event.
