ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy Returns to Poland with Exciting Incentives

The ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy, a prominent event within the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC), is set to resume in Poland, offering participants a series of attractive incentives. The competition will take place during the ORLEN OIL 81st Rally Poland, marking a significant return to its 'spiritual home' from June 12 to 15, 2025. This year, the event is not only expanding in scope but also enhancing the rewards for competitors, underscoring the growing popularity of rallying in the region.

Introduced in 2024, the ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy is specifically designed for the Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evo, a vehicle engineered for competition by M-Sport Poland, located in Krakow. The Trophy aims to promote young talent in the sport, providing a platform for emerging drivers to showcase their skills.

One of the most enticing prizes this year is a drive in the Ford Fiesta Rally2, awarded to the winner of the event scheduled for September’s JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion. Additionally, tyre manufacturer Pirelli is continuing its partnership by offering a 15% discount on tyre packages to all participants throughout the five-event season, enhancing the overall competitive experience.

Winners of individual events will receive 12 new tyres for their next rally, while second and third place finishers will receive six and two tyres, respectively. This incentivization strategy aims to optimize vehicle performance and encourage participation.

In a significant development, M-Sport Poland has partnered with Warter Fuels for the 2025 season. This collaboration not only includes the utilization of Warter RALLY EVO2 fuel, specifically developed with M-Sport Poland, but also offers competitors financial incentives. Each participant will pay a reduced price of €2.10 per litre for the fuel, limited to 300 litres per rally. Furthermore, the top three finishers in each round will receive complimentary quantities of the fuel, with vouchers for 150 litres awarded to the winner, 100 litres for the second place, and 50 litres for the third place.

The line-up for the ORLEN OIL 81st Rally Poland features several notable Polish drivers, including Tymek Abramowski, Tadeusz Bieńko, and newcomer Adrian Łabuda, who is embarking on his first season of rally racing. Łabuda expressed his eagerness to learn and improve, stating, “This is my first Rally Poland and also my first gravel rally, so I don’t have much experience, but I hope to learn quickly.” He highlighted the advantages of the Ford Fiesta Rally3, noting its suitability for newcomers to the sport due to its four-wheel-drive capabilities.

Fans interested in following the action can watch every stage of the ERC Rally through the Rally.tv platform and local broadcasts in various countries, ensuring global access to the event.

The upcoming Rally Poland will feature 14 stages, spanning a total distance of 800.65 kilometres, with a stage distance of 190.40 kilometres. This event not only represents a competitive arena for up-and-coming rally drivers but also emphasizes the significance of rallying in Polish culture and motorsport history.

As the ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy continues to gain traction, its contributions to the sport and the opportunities it creates for young drivers remain a focal point of discussion among rally enthusiasts and industry insiders alike. The 2025 season promises thrilling competition and an opportunity for participants to elevate their careers in motorsport, reflecting the ongoing evolution of the FIA European Rally Championship.
