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:
“A scholar, in his Segmenta, left a note,
As follows, “The Ruler of Reality,
If more unreal than New Haven, is not
A real ruler, but rules what is unreal.””
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“However diligent she may be, however dedicated, no mother can escape the larger influences of culture, biology, fate . . . until we can actually live in a society where mothers and children genuinely matter, ours is an essentially powerless responsibility. Mothers carry out most of the work orders, but most of the rules governing our lives are shaped by outside influences.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“There are different rules for reading, for thinking, and for talking. Writing blends all three of them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
