Mārtiņš Sesks Rally1 drive ir WRC Latvia 2024 91% probillity. Car still unknown (i would bet on Yaris)

[Backa]

91% is quite specific lol.

Sesks is good driver with Rally1 potential. It will be interesting to see how good result he will get with combination of his experience on Latvian gravel and his lack of experience in Rally1 car. If he could debut on similar Poland stages 3 weeks earlier, it would help but I guess getting budget for two rounds could be too difficult.

Exactly ! There are some news on Latvian media about some surprise which will be revealed shortly. Sesks and his supporters have some money but not a lot like Bertelli for example. But I think that some Rally1 team might have contracted him not just because of money, but because that he has the best knowledge of Latvian WRC round roads, he knows some of the roads by hearth and he already actually is a good driver on fast gravel (have beaten Paddon in same conditions in Poland).

Our boy Rich thinks the WRC isn’t broken…although he does think the regulation changes are a step too far, I wonder when or if at all will Latvala comment on next year’s changes.

Maybe now they finally developed the Fiesta Rally2 and that is pulling in sales. So they dont need to fret about not selling more than one Puma Rally1.

Plus they are getting some good results with Fourmaux and the WRC is looking a bit more competitive.
