Amberg signed for Junior WRC in 2013

The Junior WRC battle got one highly potential champion candidate when Finnish driver Andreas Amberg was signed in this series. He is known to be very fast on Finnish gravel roads so the challenge will be learning to drive fast on tarmac. Andreas will be co-driven by experienced Mikko Lukka. Participation to the first two events in JWRC have been secured so far, and the objective is to complete the whole series this year with nothing less than championship as the ultimate goal.

More WRC events for Nikara

According to the Finnish on-line media yle.fi Jarkko Nikara will compete in WRC event Rally d'Italia Sardegna in June and also in Neste Oil Rally Finland later this summer, driving a ProDrive Mini. Former Formula 1 driver Mika Salo has joined Nikara's forces to promote his career and get financial backing during his journey towards WRC. This hopefully means that we can expect some more brilliant performances by this highly talented driver.
