Berkay Erdoğan Reviews His 2024 Season
Ankara-born young driver Berkay Erdoğan, who won the TOSFED Rally Cup held in memory of the late Celal Gülerhan in 2024, has reviewed his 2024 season and shared his goals for the new season...
Rally Marmaris
In our first experience with the Subaru, a powerful four-wheel-drive car, we put in an unforgettable performance. With its beautiful scenery and tarmac stages, we achieved an important result in this rally, winning both our class and the TOSFED Rally Cup overall classification.
My favourite stage: SS8 Kuyucak
Rally Bodrum
At Rally Bodrum, we put in a successful performance and took a double win, in our class and in the CGTRK overall classification. In this rally we grew more comfortable with our car and had a more relaxed event.
My favourite stage: SS1-4 Celal Gülerhan
Yeşil Bursa Rally
At Yeşil Bursa Rally everything was going to plan, but a gearbox failure on the car forced us to retire early on the second stage. Although it was upsetting not to be able to continue, we gained new experience.
My favourite stage: SS6-8 Soğukpınar
ESOK Rally
In Eskişehir I was forced to change car and garage, and decided to continue in Category 2. With this change we focused entirely on the overall classification rather than the class win. It was a relaxed and enjoyable gravel rally in which we took a double win on our first event with the Peugeot 208 R2. We adapted quickly to the new car's dynamics and its sequential gearbox, and finished at the top both in our own class and in the overall classification.
My favourite stage: SSS Kent Ormanı
Kocaeli Rally
At Kocaeli Rally, on the first stage we got caught in the dust of the car ahead, had an unlucky accident and rolled. We continued the following day under Super Rally, but lost important points in the championship fight.
My favourite stage: SS1-3 Petrol Ofisi Maxima
Istanbul Rally
Istanbul Rally was the most critical event of the season for us. To win the TOSFED Rally Cup, our rival had to fail to score points while we had to win the rally. The championship swung back and forth several times during the event, but we beat the very long odds and managed to win the TOSFED Rally Cup. All the difficulties we faced throughout the season were crowned by this victory.
My favourite stage: SS5-7 Salados
2025 Goals
In the 2025 season, with a stronger preparation process and depending on sponsorship support, I am aiming for the Two-Wheel-Drive Championship. With new sponsors, I aim to achieve bigger results on the national and international stage.
