« When we started the C2 Junior Experience in 2007, a large number of the Junior Championship competitors were already Citroën drivers, » comments Jean-François Liénéré, who is in charge of Citroën Sport’s customer operation. « Now, with more than half the Junior field in a Citroën at the start of Rally Mexico, we’re once again pleased to note that we are clearly responding to our customers’ demands. »
As was the case last year, the Juniors have to nominate six rallies on which to score points. They have the choice of four gravel rounds and three asphalt events, now that the option of a snow rally has been taken off the calendar. Unusually the drivers will spend a lot of time outside Europe this year, as after Mexico the Junior calendar takes in the Jordan Rally as round two.
