Mārtiṇš Sesks charged to his second ERC victory after he fended off and then pulled clear of title leader Hayden Paddon to win on Sunday. With Renars Francis co-driving his Team MRF Tires-entered Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, Sesks completed Saturday’s opening leg 8.2 seconds ahead of Paddon. “It feels so good to be driving for such a good team with such a good car. With only one spare Pirelli on board his Hyundai i20 N Rally2, Paddon had to make a tough decision. After setting a succession of top three stage times, Michelin-equipped Miko Marczyk completed the podium on his home round of the ERC having won the event last year.
