Like every season, the first part of the detections will take place on a short winding route, aboard a Peugeot 208 Rally2. The candidates, FFSA licensed or not, will perform a slalom punctuated by a half-turn on the handbrake. Those who manage to complete the course in the allotted time will then compete on a longer and more technical route. Each day, the six fastest drivers will be qualified for the national final which will take place from December 6 to 9, 2022. To participate in the Youth Rallies detection, you only need to be aged 18 to 25, to hold the B license and have French nationality. Registration for the selections costs 20 euros.
