With fireworks and a motor show, the 2025 Latvian–Lithuanian and Baltic Rallycross Championship season came to an end at the Biķernieki track. The final round, which also featured competitors from the Polish Championship, became a true celebration for motorsport fans – with car and motorcycle shows, fierce battles on the track, and spectacular fireworks.
