Dramatic powerstage decides podium as Semenuk wins again

randon Semenuk claimed a fourth 100 Acre Wood Rally win in a row to continue his unbeaten start to 2025, despite an early throttle issue, while Ryan Booth stole third place and the RC2 class win from Patrick Gruszka on a dramatic final stage.

But perhaps the star of the rally was Swede Calle Carlberg, who muscled his front-wheel-drive Peugeot 208 Rally4 to Open 2WD victory and a fine fifth overall – just 26.3 seconds shy of the overall podium.

Round two of this year’s American Rally Association National championship presented by Kubota, weather became a major factor at 100 Acre Wood with tornado warnings and two stages canceled due to spreading forest fires on Friday, but Semenuk was again the overwhelming favorite in his factory Subaru Motorsports USA machine.
