Beyond Rally is the WRC’s umbrella platform for sustainability initiatives that contribute to shaping the future of motorsport and materialise its positive impact on society. In 2024, the WRC launched the Women’s Development Programme within Beyond Rally. It saw nearly 100 drivers applying for the ultimate opportunity of a fully supported drive in the FIA Junior WRC. From the applicants, 15 were short-listed for a three-day shootout, and three finalists were selected to showcase their skills in a WRC round. Eventually, German driver Claire Schönborn won the prize to compete in the 2025 season of Junior WRC. After finishing her debut season in Junior WRC, we had the chance to have a Q&A with Claire. Here’s her rallying story.
