ERC

Llarena, who claimed an ERC3/ERC3 Junior title double in 2019 with backing from the Spanish ASN RFEDA, finished ERC runner-up overall in 2021 before becoming champion in 2022, when he also scored his maiden ERC event win.

The championship success in 2022 was co-driver Sara Fernández’s second European crown after she became the ERC’s first female co-driving champion in 2021. Llarena will combine driving and running his own team for the first time in 2025.
