With Janni Hussi calling the notes, Latvala dominated the two-day event around the town of Pravia, guiding his Toyota Celica GT-Four to the fastest time on every stage. A handful of minor issues did little to slow the Finns, who claimed maximum points in both the overall and Category 4 standings.

Behind them, Poland’s Maciej Lubiak and Grzegorz Dachowski produced a strong recovery after crashing out of contention in Elba earlier in the season. Determined to make amends, the pair drove their Porsche 911 with measured precision to secure second overall and victory in Category 2, comfortably ahead of Bertrand Métivier and Fabrice Garin. The French duo fought back from a broken TCA on their Ford Escort Mk1, narrowly edging series regulars Ernie Graham and John Connor for second-place points in Category 2 after a fierce fight to the finish.

Jesús Ferreiro Pérez and Javier Anido sealed the FIA EHRC Category 3 crown in emphatic style. The Galician crew’s record now stands at five starts and five category wins in 2025 – an unmatched display of consistency and pace. Making the short trip from Galicia to Asturias, they finished an impressive third overall, underlining the strength of their Ford Escort Mk2 against newer machinery. They led home Greg McCormack and Rhodri Evans, who in turn held off Northern Irish crew Fintan McGrady and Dean Beckett in another closely-fought class battle.

Richard Genesca and Florent Sompayrac continued their promising EHRC season with a fine second in Category 4 aboard their Subaru Legacy RS. Although unable to match Latvala’s relentless pace, the Basque-French pairing once again demonstrated strong speed and reliability.

In Category 2, Seb Perez and Dale Bowen recovered well from an early puncture in their Porsche 911 to take second on the podium, though not eligible for championship points. For fellow Britons Will and Karen Graham, however, the weekend ended in disappointment when a propshaft failure on their BMW M3 forced retirement early on Day 2, ending any hopes of closing the gap to their title rivals.

Local hero Daniel Alonso was another star attraction. The Asturian rally veteran and PAST Racing team owner debuted his newly built Ford Sierra Cosworth Group A, thrilling home fans and adding extra flair to an already world-class entry list. Alonso confirmed plans to rejoin the championship more regularly in 2026.

The season now moves to its finale in Fafe, Portugal, for an all-asphalt showdown to close the 2025 FIA European Historic Rally Championship. With each competitor’s six best scores counting – plus valuable starting-point bonuses still available – every title fight remains alive across Category 1, Category 2, Category 4, and the overall standings.
