‘Since the RallyX championship last came to Riga in 2022, we’ve been in permanent contact with Andreas Eriksson,’ says Jānis Bergs on the Go4Speed.lv website.
‘Until now, we’ve never managed to find a solution in terms of the calendar, but I have to say that the RallyX Championship has always maintained its confidence in us and its willingness to work together with us.”
‘The most important thing for me is that the international drivers continue to speak very positively about the Riga venue, so it’s a mutual interest between our two organisations that we have managed to get Riga back on the RallyX Championship calendar.”
According to Jānis Bergs, the Riga event will be one of the biggest motorsport events to take place in Latvia in 2025.
