Alongside the eagerly-anticipated FIA World Rallycross Championship curtain-raiser, Montalegre will also play host to the second round of the FIA European Rallycross Championship this weekend (3-4 June) – and following a stellar season-opener at Nyirád last month, expectations are high for another thrilling contest. Patrick O’Donovan will be brimming with confidence following his first podium finish in only his second Euro RX1 outing at Nyirád, and Enzo Ide is heading back to the scene of his breakthrough victory in the series eight months ago.
