ERC star Sesks secures WRC Rally1 graduation with M-Sport
Martins Sesks and co-driver Francis Renars will compete in consecutive events in Poland and Latvia, driving a non-hybrid Ford Puma Rally1 car, a transitional move before moving to the full hybrid version. The FIA’s new regulations allow Rally1 cars without hybrid units, compensated by added ballast, enabling Sesks to step up to the top tier of world rally. Thanks to collaborations with M-Sport and the WRC Promoter, Sesks, a 24-year-old ERC regular, is making the leap from Rally2 to Rally1 level. Recognized for his successful performances in the ERC, Sesks is considered a promising future WRC world champion, with the support of the WRC Promoter and M-Sport. Sesks’ debut with the non-hybrid Puma Rally1 is seen as a significant step towards widening the Rally1 field, with high hopes for his success and development in the WRC.
