Maior excels in WRC3 with maiden victory on his mind

Norbert Maior completed Friday at EKO Acropolis Rally Greece with visions of his maiden WRC3 victory, leading Romet Jürgenson by more than 15sec.

Contesting FIA Junior WRC and WRC3 in Greece, the FIA Junior ERC champion will go into Saturday’s seven stages with the lead in both categories.


Maior has only previously podiumed once in WRC3, finishing third at Croatia Rally back in April whilst second-placed Jürgenson topped the podium on that occasion.


Looking to round out the all-Ford Fiesta Rally3 podium was FIA Rally Star regional winner Taylor Gill, before succumbing to wheel damage on the day’s final test – the second running of Tarzan. This relegated him to fifth and elevated Ali Türkkan back to third. The Turkish driver had led early but lost more than a minute on the day’s second contested stage when he pulled over to check suspected wheel damage.
