Current economic and political situation have greatly affected Latvian exporting companies and export amounts. To survive in the new market situation, companies need to acquire new regions. Experts consider the East as the greatest potential for Latvian exports.

During the weekend SONORA Racing team took part in the 4th round of Baltic Touring Car Championship 2016 (BATCC): “Riga 2016 Summer Race” which took place in Riga, at Racetrack Bikernieku. Our team rider Ansis Fridbergs (#47) drove in KUMHO Challenge National Class, where he got the 6th place.

Latvian export potential has significantly changed during the last year, largely influenced by the political events, including sanctions on the Russian market. Many businesses are forced to switch and search for solutions to acquire other markets. One of less explored regions for Latvian entrepreneurs are the CIS countries, especially Uzbekistan, where Latvia has very good conditions for transnational cooperation and great potential. Unfortunately, our entrepreneurs have not yet sufficiently explored these opportunities.

Already tomorrow our famous Latvian rallycross driver Reinis Nitišs will take part on the 7th FIA World Rallycross championship in Canada. This is the third time when rallycross championship will take place in Canada and this will be very special for us – Reinis will drive by SONORA rally car.
