Suzuki Ignis of season 2004 at the IAA 2003

The Junior World Rally Championship (JWRC) is a complementary series to the World Rally Championship (WRC) as is the World Rally Production Car Championship (WRPCC) also known as the PWRC. As JWRC was originally envisioned as a series for developing drivers it is limited to drivers below age 28, and Super 1600 cars are used, very similar to WRC cars but with restricted power and front wheel drive only. Future restrictions on open car development or manufacturer concerns with rallying costs JWRC cars may be the future of the sport with rallies restricted to asphalt roads, where the JWRC cars are now very competitive, but they are less competitive on mixed roads or gravel allies (BLM).
