It's clear that he'll win the title, as Sesks is not fast on asphalt... but could someone tell Paddon that he's too late for that 70 years record thing? Simon Jean-Joseph is French but from Martinique, so he's effectively the first non-European to win the ERC (twice!)

delighted to have a few erc drivers in my hometown rally this week in preparation of Rome.
besides italians Campedelli and Mabellini, very surprised to have Sesks in the entry list! I'll try to keep you posted!

Sesks was announced to do full season before Fafe. There could be much bigger surprise, but let's wait for entries.

EDIT: Sorry did not spot that you are talking about local rally!

Sesks must be getting good funding to be able to do rallies as practice for his next ERC events.

my guess is that it's an mrf operation. campedelli is there anyway for the italian championship, so they added two youngsters that need experience: mabellini and sesks...
