FIA Rally Star talent search initiative used the WRC9 video game, along with
Gymkhana events to identify prospects for its new Rally Star program. The driver selection process was conducted with national motorsport associations in each individual FIA region. Following national selection events, Continental Finals were organised using
Autocross cars to select the best talent of each region. The six drivers then competed in six events of the FIA Rally Star Training Season in 2023, driving in identical
Ford Fiesta Rally3, prepared by
M-Sport Poland. Four drivers were chosen from these six drivers and who competed in the
2024 JWRC. In 2024,
Romet Jürgenson won the
Junior WRC title in his debut season. == Drivers ==
