Welcome to the WRC Academy, the first step on the World Rally Championship ladder and the perfect place to hone your rally skills. This is a spec series so all participants will use the same car, the Suzuki Swift Sport '07; a light and nimble hatchback which is predictable and easy to drive on the asphalt but dancing it across the gravel and snow requires a degree of skill and quick reactions. The rallies will take place over one week, in which time you will have to have your timed stages observed at a time of your choice, as long as a steward can observe your run at that time. If you are interested in joining the series see below for more details and simply sign up with your PSN name.
