The Spa Rally 2025 marked the exciting conclusion of the Belgian Rally Championship last weekend. In typical Ardennes conditions with changeable weather, Cédric Cherain finally took the lead in the Porsche 992 Rally GT and won the traditional season finale.
Among the international participants, the German Colin Dünker in the Ford Fiesta Rally4 also attracted attention. Together with co-driver Jonas Decker, he showed a strong and consistent performance on the technically demanding special stages. Dünker used the prestigious event to prove himself in the high-class environment of the Belgian championship and impressed with more than fast times and a clean driving style. In his Ford Fiesta, technically the oldest vehicle in the class, the German 2026 champion for two-wheel-drive rally cars took over 3 minutes off his direct class rival, the new Belgian junior champion and Stellantis Cup winner Lander Depotter.
The 15 special stages around Spa offered the drivers a special mix of fast passages, slippery forest sections and narrow town crossings. For many teams, the rally not only served as the season finale, but also as a yardstick for upcoming events.
With his committed performance and an eleventh place overall among more powerful vehicles, Colin Dünker underlined that he is also a competitive rally driver outside Germany – a strong sign for his further motorsport development.
