Britain’s only Rally championship open to drivers aged between 14 and 16 years is to return with a bright new image for its third season in 2011.

The 2010 season saw the Junior 1000 Championship go from strength to strength, not only gaining a record amount of competitors but impressing on a public level as well breaking onto the International scene with visits to Finland and Germany during the latter half of the year.
However, a new year sees a clean slate and the new season is to dawn even brighter for the only Rally Championship in the UK open to drivers who are aged just 14 to 16 years. Rafts of changes have been made over the close season – the biggest of which being the title of the Championship. The Formula 1000 Club, the club responsible for the running of the series, is proud to announce that, with immediate effect, the Championship is to be named the ‘Kick Energy Pirelli Junior 1000 Rally Championship’.

For the third season, the Championship is to retain its ties with the Kick Energy brand thanks to increasing support from former National Rally Champion, Steve Perez. For the 2011 season Kick Energy shares the Championship title with Pirelli, thanks to a new tyre deal signed over the close season. The deal will see the end of the association with Falken tyres, a company who have supplied the club since it’s beginnings in 2004. The eager eyed followers of the Championship will notice that the use of ‘Formula 1000 Junior Championship’ has been dropped in favour of ‘Junior 1000’ as Formula 1000 Club PR Officer, Jonathan Jackson, explains;
“Whilst the change to Junior 1000 is very small it will allow the Junior Championship to expand into its own brand in 2011, very much like how the adult championship has adopted the F1000 title over the last few years”
The 2011 Kick Energy Pirelli Junior 1000 Rally Championship kicks off at the traditional season opener – the Roskirk Stages, held at the Three Sisters Race Circuit on the 13th of March. The event will be the first of thirteen events in the 2011 calendar, of which competitors can compete in nine with their best seven counting to the overall championship;
