FIA European Rally Championship Rally Silesia
Jon Armstong and Eoin Treacy’s FIA European Rally Championship will close this weekend with Rally Silesia in Poland.
An exciting new addition to the ERC calendar for 2024, the Tarmac event from 11 – 13 October is set to be one of the highlights of the season with super special stages planned in central Katowice and around the Silesian Stadium, as well as several challenging and spectacular countryside tests.
Armstrong described the event as being similar in characteristics to other European rallies he has contested in the past.
He is looking forward to another tarmac outing following a strong performance in Wales in September.
“The stages look to be quite technical with a lot of variation. The character and surface types are a bit like a mixture of Ypres and Barum,” said Armstong.
“We just really need to get our heads down and try to pick up we left off in Wales and carry the pace so we can get a strong result.”
Armstrong tested both his and William Creighton’s Ford Fiesta Rally2 cars at M-Sport last week.
“That was a good chance to get back into the rhythm of driving,” he added. “It has been a long wait since Ceredigion. “
Rally Silesia gets underway on Friday with Free Practice, the Qualifying Stage and Shakedown in Zabrze.
Later in the day, the opening ceremony takes place in Katowice, ahead of a 1.85km super special in the host city.
A total of 14 stages over 180kms are scheduled with the event concluding with the Silesian Voivodeship / Województwo Śląskie PowerStage just after 4 pm on Sunday.
Just as newspapers and magazines are paid for, digital editorial content will also have to be paid for.
