The organization of top races by Greeks seems to be fully trusted by the world automobile federation (FIA), after its decision to include in its Acropolis rally 2012 and the WRC Academy category. Our national match will be the 6th round of the championship for the 2012 and will also count towards the PWRC class championship. However, the choice of Greece to host the second round of the WRC Academy raises the interest even more, given that the specific institution at its establishment (2011) had 20 participations.

Already with the calendar finalized, the Greek organizing committee has decided that it will support any Greek competitor who participates in the Acropolis Rally with a car of the category (Ford Fiesta R2 prepared by M-Sport), with the details to be defined in the near future. It is recalled that the WRC Academy is the "nursery" of tomorrow's WRC drivers, since it gives the opportunity to young people under the age of 25 years to participate in the world rally championship at a cost lower than that of the other categories, but also with a prize money of the order of 500.000 euro for the champion. Note that the Acropolis rally 2012 will be held on 24-27 May, while in its 58th edition it will once again focus on the city of Loutraki.
