The 14.24 km Zagorska Sela – Kumrovec Power Stage will bring the 2025 FIA European Rally Championship to a dramatic close at 13:05 local time.
The stage, which gained legendary status with Sébastien Ogier’s last-gasp WRC victory in 2021, remains one of the toughest on the calendar, with narrow sections, big jumps, deep cuts and constant surface changes.
Miko Marczyk called it “expert level” and compared it to a video game challenge, while Jon Armstrong highlighted its elevation changes, jumps and tricky pacenotes. Mads Østberg described it as “super-narrow” with pollution on the road and blind jumps that demand caution.
As in WRC, bonus points are awarded: five for the fastest driver, down to one point for fifth. Crews got an early taste of the test this morning when it ran as SS8 in wet conditions.
The decisive Power Stage will be shown live on Rally.TV from 13:00 CET.
