To spread a little post-festive cheers in the face of all the negativity in rallying at the moment, I thought I would update you all on the progress of Junior Rallying in the UK. As you know, RS had a bit of an exclusive in June last year with the announcement of 14-16 year olds being granted permission to compete on events in the UK. Well, March the 8th will see the inaugural F1000 Junior Championship rally at the Three Sister Race track, Wigan. We've got 10-12 Juniors competing with about 9 entered at the moment. These numbers also hide the fact that, realistically, we could have more than 20 juniors next year, the interest could lead to 100 - although this wouldnt be manageable Also, we've got two fantastic sponsors in the shape of Kick Energy (yes, the same company that sponsors the Stobart team) and Acceleration TV. Both Steve Perez and David Winstanley have offered us phenomenal support meaning we'll be getting the Juniors on TV for an hour each round (6 rounds) We're all mega excited for next season and the time before the first round is disappearing quick!
