Junior drivers will once again battle for a chance to shine in five rounds. Rally Portugal will return to the JWRC calendar next year, while the Central European round will be included for the first time in the series.
The season will kick off as usual with Sweden’s winter rally in February. The action will move to Portugal in mid-May before heading to Greece for the rough gravel stages in late June.
After that, the rising stars will compete on Finland’s ultra-fast gravel roads. Finland returned to the JWRC series this season and will retain its spot next year.
The season will conclude in October with the Central European tarmac rally, which features stages across the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria.
“I’m particularly excited about returning to Portugal and the introduction of Central European Rally, which adds a fresh dimension to the series. It’s going to be another thrilling season and I can’t wait to see who rises to the top,” said Junior WRC manager Maciej Woda.
This year, Estonian Romet Jürgenson won the JWRC championship, earning six fully funded WRC2 rounds in a Ford Fiesta Rally2 car for the 2025 season.
The 2025 Junior WRC calendar:
Rally Sweden (13-16 February) Rally Portugal (15-18 May) Rally Greece (26-29 June) Rally Finland (31 July - 3 August) Central European Rally (16-19 October)
