The camp will be run by a team of rallying experts and a panel of judges, including FIA Women in Motorsport Chairwoman Burcu Çetinkaya, will be responsible for selecting the most promising three drivers to contest October’s Central European Rally, the penultimate round of the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship. They will compete in M-Sport Poland-prepared Ford Fiesta Rally3 cars in a fully supported programme.
Following on from Central European Rally, a driver will be selected for a fully supported campaign in the 2025 FIA Junior WRC.
The successful applicants, from a diverse range of motorsports backgrounds, represent 13 countries across three continents.
The 15 successful applicants are:
