The 2016 FIA Junior WRC Championship was the fourth season of Junior WRC, a rallying championship governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, running in support of the World Rally Championship.[1]
The championship was open to drivers under the age of twenty-eight. All teams contested six nominated European events,[2] with all of their scores counting towards their final championship position. The drivers competed in identical Citroën DS3 R3Ts with the 2014 homologated MAX Kit, using Michelin tyres.[3] The winner received a programme of six rallies in Europe in a Citroën DS3 R5, competing in the 2017 WRC2 Championship.[3]
