After Filip Kohn and newcomer Tristan Charpentier fought for victory until the finish of the final stage on BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia last month, Woda is savouring the prospect of more on-stage excitement when Delfi Rally Estonia takes place from 5 - 7 July.
“Sweden has shown there is very close competition within the ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy, so I can’t wait to see what the fight will be in Estonia,” M-Sport Poland director Woda said. “Estonia loves rallying and I have personally great memories of all the events we have done there in both ERC and WRC. Fast stages with magnificent jumps makes this event one to remember.”
After two rounds, Czech Filip Kohn holds a 17-point advantage over Poland’s Igor Widłak in the battle to win the inaugural ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy. Turkish teenager Kerem Kazaz is third, three points behind Widłak. Martin Ravenščak, from Croatia, is fourth with French ex-circuit racer Tristan Charpentier fifth after he finished second on his BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia category debut.
Filip Kohn, a double winner in 2024, is third in the championship table followed by Croatia’s Martin Ravenščak. French ex-circuit racer Tristan Charpentier is next up after he finished second on his BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia category debut.
Estonian promise Patrik Enok makes his first ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy appearance on Delfi Rally Estonia as part of a six-strong entry.
