The Lithuanian automobile rally championship travelled from the south of Lithuania to the north-west, where the well-known special stages near Kelmė awaited everyone. This time, the sporting part of the Rally Žemaitija 2025, which is 2nd round of LARČ took place in just one day, which was quite long, with more than 110 extremely fast…
The first event of the Lithuanian automobile rally championship in Lazdijai gave no one a moment’s rest. Extremely fast stages, complemented by extremely technical sections, difficult terrain and two days of rain made this competition one that we will remember for a long time. From the first hundred meters, the participants, including many former N5…
The time had finally come – the Lithuanian summer rally season had begun. This time in a slightly different format than usual for the Visaginas rally, but the innovations were very well received. For many it was a great pleasure to drive on extremely fast and long special stages. The N5 team was no exception;…
The long-awaited and finally arrived “Biorina Winter Rally Rokiškis” took place on the last weekend in February.

In Druskininkai and the surrounding forests, not only the Lithuanian Mini Rally Championship, but also this year’s entire Lithuania rally season has officially ended. The event in Druskininkai was very special, as the special stages were on the same roads that were used for the LARČ and WRC events ten years ago. However, they were…
The fifth, penultimate event of the Lithuanian Rally Championship usually took place in Elektrėnai.
