Team MRF Tyres roared to victory, claiming their third FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) team title at the Croatia Rally on Sunday. They finished the intense season with a commanding 208 points, outscoring their closest rivals, M-Sport Ford World Rally Team, by two points.
This triumphant win marks a sensational return to the top for Team MRF Tyres, who previously secured the ERC championship in both 2022 and 2023. The 2025 season was a true testament to their consistent excellence, highlighted by stellar performances and outright victories in Hungary and Poland, alongside an impressive one-two finish in Sweden. Their ability to deliver strong results on diverse surfaces, from challenging tarmac to demanding gravel, was a key factor in their success.
The decisive Croatia Rally saw all three Team MRF Tyres crews demonstrate exceptional skill and teamwork, each securing a coveted spot within the overall top ten. This collective effort was crucial in clinching the championship.
Finnish duo Lauri Joona and Kristian Temonen delivered a standout performance, piloting their Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 to an impressive sixth place overall. Competing on MRF Tyres for the first time, they executed a flawless rally, prioritizing a steady rhythm and unwavering consistency. Their strategic approach paid off handsomely, as they navigated all 10 special stages without a single misstep.
