Sesks is among a season-high 31-car Rally2 contingent and a total entry of 63 crews preparing to assemble for round four of the 2025 ERC and the third of three gravel events from 13 - 15 June.

As it is last gravel round in ERC this year, I expect it will be just a one off.

Nice entry list. Since it's the last gravel round, I hope Johansson and Reiersen will continue with the asphalt rounds, they're doing good but they also need asphalt time. I also see Bonato and Wagner skipped all gravel rounds (not so surprising), are they planning to be back for the asphalt rounds?

Johansson will do 6 rounds this year, so he will continue ; Reiersen and Korhonen should continue and learn on tarmac, but like lot of nordic drivers they are afraid of that surface... Simon Wagner is this year doing austrian and czech championship, do in ERC he will do only selected rounds. And Bonato, unfortunately again, prioritises only national championship and is choosing ERC events where he thinks he can win (and is not in date clash like for example Rome). So he will start only in Croatia...

Łukasz Byskiniewicz, a Polish championship driver, is shocked by Phillip Allen's driving. He drives behind him and says that Allen's car changes its shape after each stage! 😀 He decided to ask him for a photo while he is still in the rally 😀

Watched it back and I totally agree. Armstrong's chicane hit didnt look nearly so bad.

Armstrong's penalty has cost Marczyk as he wasnt worried about losing 2nd Overall but meaning he lost too much for PS points.

Sesks was at a different level here and showed again he's got huge speed on these type of roads. Great for him and giving his image a boost after a tough time in WRC.

But it was a bit of a shame for the ERC regulars being put in the shade. Marczyk and Armstrong did a fine job and it was nice there weren't many punctures to affect the results.

Itll be interesting to see who appears on the Ralli de Roma tarmac and who also has the speed on this surface.

Is there any video where Armstrong hit the chicane? I have seen Reiersen somewhere during live and I was also surprised there is no penalty for him, but question is where exactly this position was and if it was counted as chicane...

What a fantastic weekend for the whole Orlen Team:
- Polish speedway star Bartosz Zmarzlik wins Speedway Grand Prix of Great Britain
- Robert Kubica wins Le Mans 24hour race
- Miko Marczyk is second in Rally Poland and leads ERC

FIA completely killed RGT class, there are no valid cars now. All Porsches and Abarths are out of FIA homologation now...

The Alpine A110 is still good until 2027, not that it destroys your point.

Yes, Alpine is still valid, as only car (not RGT+, which is now usually competing in national championships). It is because FIA has changed rules for FIA passports for RGT cars. Only Alpine is homologated like other regular cars, all previous Porsche and Abarths had individual RGT passports. And FIA suddenly decided there will be no new passports and older passports (usual validity was 2 years, if I am correct) were not renewed. So all Porsche and Abarth became dead for FIA events...

No. It has only national homologation.
