Incentives up for grabs as ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy resumes in Poland
The ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy resumes in its spiritual home of Poland this week when several incentives will be up for grabs.
A new addition to the FIA European Rally Championship platform for 2024, the ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy caters for the Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evo, which is built for competition use by M-Sport Poland in Krakow.
The ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy is also bigger and even better in 2025 with a Ford Fiesta Rally2 prize drive on offer to the eventual winner on September’s JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion
For the second year running, tyre company Pirelli is providing a 15 per cent discount on event tyre packages to all participants across the five-event season. The winner of each ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy event will secure 12 new tyres for use on the next event, the runner-up will receive six new tyres with two new tyres going to the third-place finisher.
M-Sport Poland, which oversees the ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy in partnership with ERC promoter WRC Promoter GmbH, has entered into a partnership agreement with Warter Fuels for 2025. As well as benefiting from the performance of the Warter RALLY EVO2 fuel, which has been developed in tandem with M-Sport Poland as an industry-leading Rally3 fuel, ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy competitors can take advantage of two notable incentives.
ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy contenders will pay a discounted price of €2,10 per litre for Warter RALLY EVO2 fuel – limited to 300 litres per competitor per rally – while the top three finishers on each of the five rounds will be handed quantities of the product without charge.
During the podium ceremony at the end of each round, the winning crew will receive a voucher for 150 litres of Warter RALLY EVO2 fuel. The second-placed crew be handed a voucher for 100 litres with the third-place pairing getting 50 litres.

Polish prospects out in force
Six Polish drivers will chase ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy success on their home round of the FIA European Rally Championship.
They include teenage newcomer Adrian Łabuda, who is in his first season of rallying and therefore preparing for his Rally Poland debut.
“It’s my first Rally Poland and also my first gravel rally so I don’t have much experience but I hope to learn quick and improve as much as I can,” Łabuda said. “This is my first season in rallying, before I was driving karts, and I was also testing some GT cars but this year I’m doing rallies.
“For me the Fiesta Rally3 is really good, for the first car in rally it’s pretty fast but I chose it because it’s four-wheel drive and it’s easier to step into four-wheel drive from the circuit racing. Until now, it’s doing good, it’s doing its job.”
