Llarena acknowledges Spanish federation support in ERC

Llarena has competed in the ERC for the last two seasons through the Rallye Team Spain initiative, which has funded his progression from national title winner to international-level champion as part of an alliance with ERC promoter Eurosport Events.

After collecting his trophies for winning the ERC3* and ERC3 Junior titles at the ERC Awards Ceremony in Budapest, Llarena said: “It’s an amazing feeling because it was a very long season and we worked very hard during the last two years to be here. We get the support of the Spanish federation, they helped us a lot and we win. I want to say thank you to them.”

Llarena’s prize for his title triumph in the Pirelli-supported ERC3 Junior Championship is two prize drives in a Motorsport Italia ŠKODA Fabia R5 on Pirelli tyres in the 2020 FIA ERC1 Junior Championship, although it is hoped that the 24-year-old will be able to secure the budget to contest a full ERC campaign alongside co-driver long-term co-driver Sara Fernández.
