It has been to arrive and kiss the saint. Sergi Pérez, Hyundai pupil in the supercer last year, and new flag bearer of the Rally Spain Rally in the European Junior, has started his first international championship: winning this weekend the house test, the Sierra Morena Rally, and opening the season as a brand new leader of the most attentive category of the ERC.
After 2024 too pressing for him, the young Catalan (20 years), champion in 2023 of the Peugeot Rally Ibérica and the Junior Scholarship of the Rally Team Spain, has needed to rearm his career this winter. Rewind in time, focus on the European program that would have corresponded last year, had not signed for Hyundai. But, above all, return home, to its roots: to the team that captains his father (Mavisa Sport, now We Race), with whom he has grown up as a pilot and as a person, and also to the car that has given more satisfactions in his meager career, the Peugeot 208 Rally4.

The best ally of Martorell pilot, with which he reaped his first national titles two years ago, after winning the Volant Racc, two medals in October in the FIA Motorsport Games, and now already his first win in the European Junior. A very important boost for Sergi Pérez after the 2024 worries. The first happy end of his new ‘Erasmus’.
