The title in short:
Filip Kohn made a late call to contest the FIA ERC3 Championship and the decision proved inspired after he secured the Rally3-based title thanks for four wins alongside then co-driver Tom Woodburn. Romet Jürgenson, Jakub Matulka and Mille Johansson also triumphed on one-off outings, while Kerem Kazaz, Martin Ravenščak and Igor Widłak scored regularly and scored well. Kohn also claimed the new-for-2024 ERC Fiesta Rally3 Trophy from M-Sport. In addition to various round-by-round incentives, Kohn won a prize drive on the FIA World Rally Championship-counting Central European Rally aboard an M-Sport Poland-run Fiesta Rally3.  


The champion said?
“I’m a European champion! It’s a great title to have and it will help for next season so thumbs up to us for what we do next year. We didn’t know at the start of the year what to do because WRC3 rules were changed to seven races and that wasn’t in our budget. The ERC was and I’m super-happy we did this and the ERC3 Fiesta Rally3 Trophy. I hope we represented the ERC well.”
