Jau no pirmā likuma sapratām, ka cīņa beigusies. Transmisijas problēma. Bet prieks, ka varējām sagādāt Jums svētkus!!! Katrā ziņā, šie bija svētki arī mums! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Meet Mārtiņš Bite, my grandpa’s rally buddy! We’re 70 years apart, but our rally fever is just as strong! The 1st Latvia WRC rally and my success wouldn’t be possible without the rich rally history in Latvia. Hats off to the pioneers who started organizing rallies nearly 60y ago!

Fastest time. 🚀It’s a stage win!!! Wow! Amazing! Last year we won it by 16 seconds. I lost a bit on the exit to tarmac. Bloody hell! We have to refocus now. We’re sandwiched in between Rovanperä and Ogier!

Putting more time between us & Sébastien Ogier in second, securing another stage win. Was messy actually. I made a few big mistakes.Everyone’s fast! We’re just having a good rhythm I suppose. To drive in the same times as world champions... I’ve nothing to say.

Yuuuhuuu! 💨 P5 OA safe for tonight. 🫡Finished above Neuville by 0.1 sec ! 👍👍Wasn’t happy with myself at the first part of the stage, I made many small mistakes. The last part was quite Ok! That’s all I can say.😜

Wrrr! Final battle for podium/ no podium position is on as we are separated with Tänak by only 4.6sec OA. Tänak is on wings today. We missed junction there. We'll keep it steady, if Tänak will come, he will come. Afterall he’s a world champion. We’ll push! 👊

Lost 1.5sec to Ogier, 0.5sec to Tanak as we continue building a foothold in podium race. Made mistakes, feels like lost a couple of seconds. Totally different conditions from Rally2. Now to the Liepaja City stage. We have tyres we can burn now! 😜

🚀Woo-hoo! What a blast! We had a giggle-fest on stage, and let me tell you, Vecpils is like the rockstar of stages, especially that fast finale!
It was incredible to drive this car there! Now, this was the time we saw many, many faces there. ⚡️⚡️
🤔:”It’s been a month since the Latvian WRC round,and Sesks hasn’t completely disappeared from the headlines. Rumours suggest that the 24-year-old driver might get another opportunity this year,possibly in the gravel of

Finished 2nd, 1.7sec behind in the fight with
@KalleRovanpera
but adding time between us and Ogier. It was OK, still I made a few mistakes, like approached the new section with the chicane wrong], but it was quite clean.
It’s going to be our first time at WRC RALLY CHILE🌲🏞️, and we can’t wait to tackle the technical, twisty roads of the Biobío region! What do you think will be the biggest challenges on these tracks? 💬

🇱🇻 To pronounce MĀRTIŅŠ SESKS correctly in phonetic English, you can break it down as follows:
MĀRTIŅŠ: MAHR-teen-sh
"Mār" sounds like "mar" in "march" but with a slightly elongated 'a'.
"tiņš" sounds like "teen-sh," with a soft 'sh' sound at the end.
SESKS: SEH-sks
"Ses"

Safely through the first SD run, finishing on P8. It’s all fine. It takes some time to understand how the hybrid works. This weekend will definitely be a challenge.
First four stages are in the bag🧳! After SS4 we sit on P3 overall.
1️⃣ Thierry Neuville 🇧🇪
2️⃣ Mikko Heikkilä 🇫🇮 +53.0
3️⃣ Martins Sesks 🇱🇻 +1:00.2
4️⃣ Mauro Sánchez 🇲🇽 +2:24.8
5️⃣ Xavi Vidales 🇪🇸 +2:34.3
Just four more stages to conquer—let’s keep the fun rolling! 🙌

and sitting in P3 OA. I hope we didn't lose anything on the front after the heavy jump. With Rally2 you would go flat out there, with Rally1 you do not! It's 3 stages to go and push. Fastes ones are going to be amazing.

By completing this first stage we are WRC debutants officialy now! It was fine, as usual it was slippery but yeah it was alright.

🇵🇱Regained our P5 in standings. Lost front splitter, that induced understeering. Our front was going everywhere, so now I think I understand how downforce works. Great experience! Still one stage to go.

Lost a place to Ogier, but will fight to the last tenth of a second to keep Ott Tänak at bay this afternoon. It’s amazing to compete so close to home, but not easy to take that responsibility to have them all. I’m grateful the fans are here! 🙏

2.0sec off the pace of

A moment in a junction for us, in the same junction that caught out Lappi. It was slippery, a few places felt high as well. It's not easy when you’ve to drive on different manufacturers, I have a feeling of how soft the tyres should be, but ther’s a difference.
It’s crystal clear that our country’s first-ever WRC round is going to be a thrilling mix of speed and challenges - and that’s exactly what gets our hearts racing! 😎

We’re driving at our pace - so far so good. I try not to think about [Neuville], as we’re not scoring points it’s not an issue. For us, it's just to drive.
Still holding P5 OA after SS12.

Came 2.4sec slower than Ogier. This stage had high grip, so I didn’t know how fast to approach it. Still too cautious. Will try to keep our pace. 2 more stages left this busy Saturday.
🤯 Martins Sesks will be competing in both Rally Poland & Rally Latvia this year in non other than one of our Puma Rally1’s!
He will debut in Poland with the new non hybrid Puma & Latvia will see him competing in a full spec Puma 😎
