The title in short:
As well as claiming the FIA Junior ERC title in his Hankook-equipped Opel Corsa Rally4, IK Sport Racing-run Mille Johansson also came out on top of the FIA ERC4 standings ahead of championship newcomer Calle Carlberg and second-season star Max McRae. Giorgio Cogni and Patrik Herczig won the two ERC4 events not included on the Junior ERC roster.  

The champion said?
“I was a little bit disappointed after Estonia but I know it was just from that rally. I always felt we had the right pace to win but it’s still a lot more than just the pace on the stages that is needed. But never did I think we was not capable of winning. Canarias was really good for us, winning nine out of 13 stages. I really liked that one. Rali Ceredigion was also good, not pace-wise but in the mindset it was really good, a good rally for us.”
