Junior Rallycross with Bill Gwynne Rallyschool International It's a big year for the Junior Rallycross Championship which has new backing from the Bill Gwynne Rallyschool International. Junior Rallycross is open to drivers aged 14 to 16-years driving 1000cc Minis. The Bill Gwynne Rallyschool International will host three Junior Rallycross training and development days at its Brackley base this year.
Additionally the leading 14,15 and 16-year-old in the championship at end of the year, as well as one other driver to be selected at the organiser's discretion, will receive one-to-one tuition and coaching to help develop their skills. Junior Rallycross will also become an official class within the Irish Rallycross Championship starting from the October 1 event it shares with the British Rallycross Championship at Mondello Park. After driving a car in the category's Irish launch former British rally champion Alister McRae said: "Junior Rallycross is a great idea. When I got started you could do nothing until you were 17 and had a road licence but for the youngsters to be getting in a car at 14 is ideal, it gives them a great start."Junior Rallycross will also become an official class within the Irish Rallycross Championship starting from the October 1 event it shares with the British Rallycross Championship at Mondello Park.
