Estonian pair to compete in British Rally Championship series for M-Sport
The M-Sport Ford rally team has announced that Estonian driver Romet Jürgenson will be competing in the full British Rally Championship (BRC) 2025 season.
Jürgenson, 25, will be joined by his compatriot Siim Oja as co-driver, and the pair will compete in the U.K. in tandem with their second-tier WRC2 campaign.
M-Sport is returning to the BRC series with Jürgenson and also local driver Garry Pearson, who finished fifth in last year's championship.
Both drivers will compete in Ford Fiesta Rally2 cars, according to autosport.ee.
Jürgenson himself said: "This is a great opportunity for me to gain more mileage and experience with a Rally2 car, and to do so with the M-Sport team.
"The BRC events are held on various surfaces, which is perfect for my overall development as a driver. I want to thank team managers Malcolm Wilson and Rich Millener for this opportunity," the driver went on.
