Dreamland for Dominguez after Italy Junior WRC victory

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.

A composed Diego Dominguez secured his second career FIA Junior WRC victory with a win at Rally Italia Sardegna, finishing the third round of the series 47.5sec clear of Ali Türkkan.

Last year's championship runner-up, Dominguez, began Sunday morning with a healthy lead over Türkkan in the M-Sport Poland Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evo category. He was able to complete the final four speed tests drama-free.

Dominguez accrued the full 25 points for his championship tally, alongside one additional point for a sole Wolf Stage Win on Saturday, bringing his Sardinia haul to 26 points. FIA Rally Star pilot Max Smart of South Africa claimed his maiden podium in third.

Petr Borodin initially threatened to steal the final podium spot from Smart before he overshot a junction on SS3. The Kazakhstani driver was forced to settle for fourth, missing out by just 4.0 seconds as Norbert Maior and Taylor Gill completed the top six.

A resurgent Romet Jürgenson scored a hat-trick of benchmark times after restarting on Sunday morning, having retired from the lead with a damaged wishbone on Saturday. The Estonian now leads the standings.

Dominguez also scored maximum points in WRC3, for which the top six results were identical to Junior WRC.
