This year we will have two new faces in the N5 family and in the LARČ5 class. We have already seen Audronis Gulbinas on the rally stages, and this year he will be accompanied by Justinas Brokorius. Justinas’ career began in 2006 when he made his debut in an Opel Astra GSi, but a year…
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. This winter is usually used very productively when there is at least one competition every weekend, and then, after 4-5 weeks of joy, we sit…
Another very intense season came to an end, with more than a hundred N5 cars competing in hundreds of rallies around the world. While this period is considered an off-season in many parts of the world, we wanted to fill the gap and ask Roberto Mendez, founder of RMC Motorsport, a few questions about what…
As far as we know, you have serviced the car yourself – is servicing the Ford Fiesta N5 difficult? What are the most important tasks after and before the rally? Compared to the previous R2T, there are definitely more complicated areas to pay attention to (turbo, steering column), but we bought the car from Rokas…
In Druskininkai and the surrounding forests, not only the Lithuanian Mini Rally Championship, but also this year’s entire Lithuania rally season has officially ended. The event in Druskininkai was very special, as the special stages were on the same roads that were used for the LARČ and WRC events ten years ago. However, they were…
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…
That’s it, the rather long summer break, which wasn’t so boring after all, is over. The action took place at smaller or foreign competitions and tests, but it’s still good to return to the battles of the Lithuanian rally championship. A few other factors add to the fun – after having a slightly lower number…
As was to be expected, the big break between Rokiškis and the Elektrėnai rally was not entirely peaceful. A few weeks ago, Rokas Markovičius and Martynas Masaitis drove the special stages of the Cēsis Rally in Latvia, and last weekend we saw them at the Lithuanian Mini Rally Championship stage in Plungė, where they competed…
The Cesis Rally, which took place in Latvia, was the only external event in all three Lithuanian rally championships. The participants of the Lithuanian Car Rally Sprint Championship are taking part in Cesis for the second time, including the Hyundai i20 N5 crew consisting of Rokas Markovičius and Martynas Masaitis. Cesis was their second competition…
