ERC star Sesks secures WRC Rally1 graduation with M-Sport
Sesks and co-driver Francis Renars will compete in consecutive events in Poland and Latvia, driving a non-hybrid powered Ford Puma Rally1 car to transition to the full hybrid version in Latvia. The FIA regulations now allow Rally1 cars to compete without hybrid units, using added ballast for weight compensation. The collaboration between Sesks, M-Sport, and the WRC Promoter facilitated Sesks’ graduation to the top tier of world rally. Sesks, a 24-year-old rally driver, previously competed in the European Rally Championship driving Rally2 machinery. This partnership supports the next generation of potential WRC world champions, with Sesks identified as a worthy recipient of this support. M-Sport team principal Richard Millener considers Sesks the perfect candidate to debut the new non-hybrid version of the Puma, contributing to a more cost-effective solution for customer drivers and widening the Rally1 field.
