Rules
The cars in the Junior World Rally Championship are usually homologated in the Super 1600 class, but selected Group A and Group N specifications are also allowed to contest the series. In the 2008 season, the JWRC includes seven events, and the competitors must participate in six of them. The point-scoring system is the same as in the WRC and the PWRC, with points allocated to the top eight competitors as follows; 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
The age limit for the JWRC is 28 years (at the start of the championship year). However, there is no age limit for co-drivers. From the 2008 season, all competitors are required to wear an FIA-approved head restraint, such as the HANS device. To reduce the costs of contesting the championship, the number of tyres in use in rallies and the number of mechanics allowed to work at service parks are limited. All competitors are also required to use the control fuel and the control tyre by Pirelli.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Children can’t make their own rules and no child is happy without them. The great need of the young is for authority that protects them against the consequences of their own primitive passions and their lack of experience, that provides with guides for everyday behavior and that builds some solid ground they can stand on for the future.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The duce of any other rule have I to govern myself by in this affair—and if I had one ... I would twist it and tear it to pieces, and throw it into the fire when I had done—Am I warm? I am, and the cause demands it—a pretty story! is a man to follow rules—or rules to follow him?”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
