Martins Sesks wins Rally 6 Cities North of Portugal

Martins Sesks, driving for the M-Sport Ford team, secured a victory at the Rally 6 Cities North of Portugal, marking a successful conclusion to his European Rally Championship (ERC) season. Sesks finished with a lead of 1 minute and 2.9 seconds over Pablo Sarrazin, overcoming technical challenges including a suspension breakage during the race.

The event saw intense competition, with Roope Korhonen briefly taking the lead after winning three consecutive stages before technical issues allowed Sesks to regain control. While the win highlights Sesks' potential, his future in the World Rally Championship (WRC) remains uncertain as he seeks a consistent seat for the upcoming season.

In the Portuguese Rally Championship (CPR) category, José Pedro Fontes and co-driver Inês Ponte finished in fourth place. Despite difficult track conditions and heavily degraded surfaces on Saturday, the Sports & You duo maintained a competitive pace in their Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale, finishing the weekend in a close battle that lasted until the final stage.
