2015 Junior WRC Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2015 FIA Junior WRC Championship was the third season of Junior WRC, a rallying championship governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, running in support of the World Rally Championship.[1]

The championship was open to drivers under the age of twenty-eight. All teams contested six nominated European events, out of seven rounds,[2] with all of their scores counting towards their final championship position. The drivers competed in identical Citroën DS3 R3Ts with the 2014 homologated MAX Kit, using Michelin tyres.[2] The winner received a programme of six rallies in Europe in a Citroën DS3 R5, competing in the 2016 WRC2 Championship.[2]
