However, the situation has finally stabilized and on February 22, about fifty crews will finally chase seconds in the Rokiškis area. Among them also 5 with N5 cars. There should…
The first event of the 2025 Baltic rally season took place in the north of Latvia, in Alūksne. But the closer we got to Alūksne, the fewer winter features we could see. It was also raining quite heavily, so the conditions were not the best for the participants, the spectators and the roads on which…
The climate in the Baltic countries makes for a rather interesting annual rallying calendar. After the end of the season, crews have 2-3 months before a more serious winter begins.

After the tragic end of the last event of the LARČ, the world of rallying does not stand still and continues. The consequences are inevitably seen and felt, but that does not stop the desire to organize, drive, and move on. Although the last event of the Mini Rally Championship in Druskininkai was hanging in…
The fifth, penultimate event of the Lithuanian Rally Championship usually took place in Elektrėnai. Rally action in one day, extremely narrow, fast, technical roads with special terrain are something like the representative card of this rally. 7 N5 cars took part in this rally, 6 of them in the LARČ and 1 in the LARSČ…
That’s it, the rather long summer break, which wasn’t so boring after all, is over.
