Ahead of the final stages of the FIA World Rallycross Championship (W2RC), Lithuanian driver Rokas Baciuška and his co-driver, Oruolas Vidalas, are participating in an additional competition: the Baja Aragon race, scheduled from July 24th to 26th. While this event is not part of the official World Championship schedule, it is intended to provide valuable racing mileage in the Ultimate (T1+) category. The primary objectives of this participation are to thoroughly test the latest vehicle technology and optimize preparation for the remaining W2RC stages.
Baciuška, who secured the win at the last stage held in Argentina, finished second in the overall W2RC standings. Following initial tests in Spain, Baciuška expressed satisfaction with the new vehicle but noted that further familiarization with the machine is necessary. The Baja Aragon rally presents a crucial opportunity for the team to gather essential data outside the competitive pressure of the championship.
By competing in this demanding environment, the team aims to iron out any issues with the updated equipment and build driver confidence. This preparatory run is viewed as a vital component of the overall season strategy. The participation in Baja Aragon allows the drivers to transition from track-specific racing to a rally format, ensuring that the equipment and the crew are fully dialed in before tackling the final scheduled W2RC events.
This proactive approach underscores the commitment to maximizing performance across all facets of the sport leading up to the conclusion of the championship season.
