WRC 9 Competition Could Earn You An IRL Rally Seat

FIA RALLY STAR DLC Out Now – Compete To Win An FIA Junior WRC Drive

The FIA, in collaboration with KT Racing, are running a competition on WRC 9, and the prize is a seat in an official FIA WRC training course, and potentially a fully-funded drive in the FIA Junior WRC for not one, but two full seasons!

You will need to purchase the FIA Rally Star DLC to participate ($9.99/€9.99/£7.99), from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store or Epic Games Store for PC, and be between 17 and 26 years old.

Between February and August 2021, there will be 12 online trials you can enter, with the best times recorded determining who moves onto the 6 continental finals.

Each of the 12 trials will last for one week, in which you can run up to 100 test runs, and 5 timed runs that will determine your position in the competition. Winning one of the 12 #RallyAtHome challenges moves you into the relevant continental final.

Win the continental final, and you will move on to a real-life Rally training season, with participation in 6 European rallies. The 7 continental winners will include at least one woman.

Drivers who display enough skill can earn a funded drive for two seasons in the Junior WRC, with the 2024 Junior WRC champion earning a drive in a WRC2 team for the 2025 FIA WRC. It really is an incredible opportunity to get a huge start on a bona fide rallying career.
