GREATER HUANGSHAN INTERNATIONAL ECORALLY, CHINA
(OCTOBER 23 - 28 2025)
The 2025 Chinese round of the EcoRally Cup marked a historic moment as the championship’s only event outside Europe this season. The rally began at Luogang Park in Hefei and concluded in Xuancheng, Anhui, covering approximately 800 km through five cities: Hefei, Anqing, Chizhou, Huangshan, and Xuancheng.
Bringing together ten international crews from 12 countries alongside 40 domestic Chinese teams, the event was a powerful showcase of international cooperation in sustainable mobility.
Czech duo Michal Žďárský and Jakub Nábělek dominated the international field, securing the Combined Classification victory while also topping both the Regularity and Energy Consumption categories.
The event also fostered global collaboration, with participants visiting leading Chinese automakers such as NIO, JAC, and Chery through a special two-day industry exchange programme.
The route itself intertwined competition with culture, combining Anhui’s scenic landscapes and local traditions under the rally’s “Racing + Tourism & Culture” concept.
ECO RALLY MADEIRA, PORTUGAL
(OCTOBER 3 - 5 2025)
The Eco Rally Madeira once again delivered a demanding test of skill and efficiency. Held on the island’s mountainous and winding roads, the rally’s dynamic mix of gradients and microclimates challenged even the most seasoned drivers.
Guido Guerrini and Artur Prusak rose to the occasion, claiming victory through consistency and calculated driving. Their mastery over Madeira’s narrow roads and steep ascents highlighted not only their precision but also the reliability of the vehicles and tyres that powered them through unpredictable weather conditions.
9ᵉ E-RALLYE MONTE-CARLO
(OCTOBER 15 - 18 2025)
From the island of Madeira, the action shifted to one of motorsport’s most iconic stages, Monte-Carlo.

Over four days and 230 km of timed stages, teams battled unpredictable weather and treacherous elevation changes that tested both driver focus and vehicle endurance.
Once again, Guerrini and Prusak triumphed in their Kia e-Niro, reinforcing their reputation as the benchmark crew in this year’s championship. Their ability to balance efficiency with precision underlined the competitive spirit and technological progress embodied by the FIA EcoRally Cup.
