From press release
It was yet another difficult outing for Canadian Leo Urlichich in the fifth and final round of the Drive DMACK Fiesta Trophy, this week-end as part of the Rally Spain.
"Crazy Leo" misjudged his breaking point and smashed his Ford Fiesta R2 into a bridge on stage 10, forcing him to retire.
Enjoying better fortune, 22-year-old Estonian Sander Pärn and his Welsh co-driver James Morgan secured the title with a measured drive.
Their reward is a seven-round programme in the 2015 FIA WRC 2 championship driving a Ford Fiesta R5.
Pärn had taken a 29-point advantage into the final round which his championship rival Tom Cave was unable to overhaul.
Pärn said: "It's an incredible feeling. We came to this rally knowing we must finish so really it's been quite difficult to judge the pace. I must give a big thanks to all my supporters from Estonia and my family.
"James and myself have had a really great season, pushing when we could and backing off when we needed to. This prize is a great way to move forward from here."
