Without those dazzling drives in the summer, Mārtiņš Sesks would never have got this third chance in Chile – but this will be by far his toughest challenge to date.
Unlike Poland and Latvia where Sesks had competed several times before, he’s never ever competed in South America let alone in Chile – an event that returned to the World Rally Championship calendar in 2023.
That immediately puts Sesks at a disadvantage, but it equally provides him a fantastic opportunity to prove his versatility.
In this video reacting to the news that the Latvian has been granted another chance in a non-hybrid Rally1 car, we explore why next month’s Rally Chile could be decisive for Sesks and a potential WRC career.
