Rally SARMA 2025 opening

The Rally Sarma 2025 organizers preparing roads - The rally will happen!

With winter returning to the Gulbene region and forecasts predicting consistently low temperatures in the coming weeks, the Rally Sarma 2025 organizers are actively working on preparing the roads for the event. As soon as the frost set in, the roads were compacted and levelled to ensure smooth and race-ready special stages. Additionally, an exciting agreement has been reached - on February 15, the 50th-anniversary edition of Rally Sarma will also feature SSV class participants with their fast and dynamic buggies.

The start of the Rally Sarma 2025 postponed by one week

The organizers of the traditional winter rally Sarma 2025, after evaluating long-term weather forecasts, have decided to postpone the event, originally scheduled for February 7–8, to its backup dates – one week later. As a result, the second round of the Latvian Rally, Rallysprint, and Historic Rally Championships, as well as the opening round of the Baltic Sea Rally Championship, will now take place on February 14–15. Organizers hope that by then, weather conditions will improve, ensuring optimal conditions for the competition.

Sirmacis: Šis mums pēc tādas pauzes bija ļoti labs rezultāts, pats esmu pārsteigts

Pēc četru gadu pauzes pie pilnpiedziņas stūres rallijā atgriezās Ralfs Sirmacis, kura stūrmanis bija Armands Bite. Rallijā Alūksne, startējot ar "Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII", ekipāža izcīnīja trešo vietu absolūti un otro klasē. Klases uzvarētājiem Emīlam Blūmam/Didzim Eglītim Sirmača ekipāža, kura pirmajā ātrumposmā pamanījās nopelnīt desmit sekunžu sodu, zaudēja tikai 5,65 sekundes.

Decision on running dates of Rally Sarma to be made on 30 January

Official Statement from Rally Sarma Organizers: "We are actively monitoring the latest weather forecasts to determine if and when winter will return. We have decided to make and announce the final decision on Thursday evening, January 30, regarding whether the rally will start on February 8 or be postponed to February 15."
