February was a month packed with adrenaline-fueled rally action, both on home soil and the world stage. From the frozen forests of Sweden to the fast-paced tarmac of East Yorkshire, rally fans were treated to breathtaking battles, dramatic moments, and unforgettable performances.

WRC: Evans Triumphs in Sweden, Leading the Championship

The 2025 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) continued with Rally Sweden, where the world’s best drivers tackled snow and ice at mind-blowing speeds.

Elfyn Evans, alongside co-driver Scott Martin, clinched a thrilling victory for Toyota Gazoo Racing, finishing with a total time of 2:33:39.2.

This win propels Evans to the top of the championship standings with 61 points.

Takamoto Katsuta and co-driver Aaron Johnston, also representing Toyota Gazoo Racing, secured second place, trailing by just 3.8 seconds.

Thierry Neuville and co-driver Martijn Wydaeghe of Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT completed the podium, finishing 11.9 seconds behind Evans.

The championship standings are shaping up to be one of the closest in years, with multiple drivers in the hunt heading into next month’s Rally Kenya.

UK Rally Scene: East Riding Stages Brings Tarmac Thrills

Back in the UK, rally action was in full swing with the East Riding Stages Rally delivering a fast and furious spectacle. Held in East Yorkshire, this popular tarmac rally saw competitors take on tight, technical roads at blistering speeds.

Fans lined the streets of Beverley, where the ceremonial start created an electric atmosphere before the crews headed out to tackle the challenging stages. As expected, the rally produced some thrilling battles, with some of the UK’s top tarmac specialists going head-to-head for victory. While the final results came down to the wire, the East Riding Stages once again proved why it has become a must-watch event on the British rally calendar.

In the East Riding Stages Rally, held on 23 February 2025, William Creighton and co-driver Liam Regan secured a commanding victory in their Toyota GR Yaris Rally2.

They were followed by Keith Cronin and co-driver Mikie Galvin in a Citroën C3 Rally2, finishing 23.8 seconds behind the leaders. The third spot on the podium was claimed by James Williams and co-driver Ross Whittock in a Hyundai i20 N Rally2, trailing the winners by 33.0 seconds.
