WRC rising star receives funding from championship promoter for third Rally1 outing
Martins Sesks will rejoin the World Rally Championship’s top tier after securing a deal to contest Rally Chile next month. The 24-year-old Latvian made his Rally1 debut earlier this year courtesy of a two-round programme funded by the WRC Promoter and his personal sponsors to compete in Poland and Latvia . Sesks and co-driver Renars Francis turned heads in those two gravel rallies, finishing fifth driving a non-hybrid-powered M-Sport Ford Puma in Poland in June.

It will be demanding, but we love challenges. Once again, we’ll be the underdogs, driving a rally we don’t know with a non-hybrid car.
