During the big summer break between the Rokiškis and Elektrėnai rallies, there is plenty of action here and in the surrounding countries. Mini rally competitions will be held in Lithuania, and the Latvians will host the fourth Latvian, fifth Estonian, third Latvian Rally Sprint and fifth Lithuanian Rally Sprint championship events. All this will be…
As always, the fourth event of the Lithuanian Car Rally Championship lived up to its name as an endurance rally. There were some crashes and damaged cars, unfortunately, some N5s were among the dropouts, but a few others drove as if it was a sprint rally. But to everything from the start. Friday of the…
The Lithuanian Rally Championship enters its second half, where rallies that have already become legends await. The first of them is the CBet Rally Rokiškis, which, as usual, prepares a much larger number of kilometers for the participants, and a fairly large part of these kilometers is also unique. In addition, a qualifying stage is…
The Lithuanian rally championship reached its halfway point last weekend. The Orlen Lithuania Rally featured two innovations. Firstly, the rally route extended far to the south, where there were two special stages with a significantly different profile than usual for this rally. The other thing is the weather conditions.

Another month has passed and we will all gather again for the rally feast that will crown the end of the first half of the Lithuanian Rally Championship.

Part of the N5 gang also passed through Zarasai, where they honed their skills and tested cars. When the day of the rally came, 8 cars…
A month later, we return to the battles of the Lithuanian rally championship. Usually the “Rally Žemaitija” opened the LARČ season, but in the last two years this honor has been taken over by other rallies, and Žemaitija itself has become the second bullet point on the calendar. The rally itself is still basically similar…
The mantle of the 2024 Lithuanian car rally season was unveiled in Lazdijai. After the Visaginas rally, we hypothetically asked what Irmantas Buivydas’ pace would be in a full-mileage rally with a full field of competitors, both in his class and in the overall standings. The answer is the same as for Visaginas. Perhaps there…

If we will have 9 N5 crews at the upcoming LARČ opening at the Lazdijai rally, it was possible to see a little more than half of them in Visaginas – five N5 crews. The rally in one-day format consisted of 4…
