Rok Turk takes victory ahead of international field in Croatia
Slovenia pairing Rok Turk and Blanka Kacin scored a dominant win in the Croatian Rally Championship event at Rally Poreč (April 25-27). The i20 N Rally2 crew took the lead after the opening stage and never gave it up, helped by superb first day of the competition, when they were fastest on seven of the eight tests, reach the overnight halt with 35 seconds’ advantage over their nearest rivals.
Though they did not win another stage during the four opportunities on Sunday, Turk and Kacin still added another three seconds to their advantage to complete a dominant win. Their place at the top of the stage times, meanwhile, was filled by their fellow i20 N Rally2 crew Antal Kovács and Richárd Csáki, who won three of the four tests to cement themselves in third place overall.
Two more Hyundai Motorsport-built cars finished in the top ten, courtesy of Slovenians Ivan Hrženjak and Rok Gomizelj in fifth aboard their i20 N Rally2, and Italian i20 R5 crew Matteo Bernini and Lorenzo Mattucci, who finished seventh.
Wagner takes Czech rally victory by narrowest of margins
Simon Wagner and Hanna Ostlender scored victory in the Czech Rally Championship round at Rallye Šumava Klatovy (April 25–27) by just 0.1 seconds. The pairing had led the rally since the beginning, with consecutive victories on the opening three stages establishing them at the front. However, the Austrian driver and his German co-driver were never able to break away from the crews behind, finishing the first day of the competition with just a five-second lead.
Though their pace remained unchanged on the second day, illustrated by another stage victory, their challengers crept closer to set up a dramatic finale, with Wagner holding on to victory for his third win in quick succession after two successes in the Austrian Rally Championship.
On their national series debut with the i20 N Rally2, Erik Cais and Daniel Trunkát were impressively consistent – finishing among the top five on every stage. The duo finished fourth overall, narrowing missing out on a podium.
Day 2 charge sees i20 N Rally2 crew finish in fine second place
Eric Camilli and Thibault de la Haye won five of the six stages on the second day of Rallye Rhône Charbonnières (April 25–26) in the French Tarmac Rally Championship to secure second place, just 0.4 seconds behind the rally winner. The charge, which cut their deficit to the top spot from over 11 seconds at the start of the day, allowed Camilli and de la Haye to repeat their result from the 2024 event in fine style.
CHL Sport Auto crew Hugo Margaillan and Mathieu Coppa also had a strong second day on the stages of the event. The pair were sixth overnight, but showed their strongest pace later in event, finishing with their best stage results, including completing an i20 N Rally2 1-2 on the penultimate stage, to rise for fourth overall in the final standings.
Camilli and de la Haye’s 2C Competition team-mates Thomas and Marine Capelli finished seventh overall in a third i20 N Rally2 in the top ten.
