NG RACING TEAM
As last season's runner-up, his sole objective can be nothing less than winning the ERX3 category of the FIA European Rallycross Championship. In his first full season, Rytis Gurklys triumphed in two rounds: he was taken the chequered flag first in the finals both at Höljes in Sweden and in Turkey. However, João Ribeiro won the other three events as well as the championship, leaving the Lithuanian driver nine points short of the title. Although he was forced into second place behind Julien Meunier at this year’s season opener in Latvia, he will be fighting with redoubled effort at Nyirád for his first race victory of the season.
