FIA European Rally Championship

2025 Clio Trophy France Asphalte best juniors Lucas Zielinski and Ewen Leenhardt competed in their third rally with Clio Rally3 at the BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia. For their gravel debut in the car, the works crew enjoyed a productive weekend full of learning experiences. The duo gradually built its momentum to join the fight for the podium before a problem with an auxiliary belt dashed all hopes on SS10. The pair nevertheless finished on a high note, winning two stages in the final loop, including the Power Stage. Lucas Zielinski and Ewen Leenhardt retain the lead in the ERC3 championship ahead of their next outing at Rally di Roma Capitale (3–5 July).

Elsewhere in the rally, Kerem Kazaz and Corentin Silvestre finished fifth in ERC3 in their Clio Rally3. After holding third place for much of the rally, Maximilian Lichtenegger and Bernhard Ettel ultimately had to settle for ninth following a puncture on SS7. Outside the ERC3, Jonna Eson Brådhe and Erik Gustafsson secured a top ten finish in RC3. Additionally, Italians Ludwig Zigliani and Sara Montavoci claimed victory in RC5 with Clio Rally5.
