Jürgenson wasn’t competing in Kenya, but he was on site to support his team, M-Sport.
He threw himself into the job and worked hard for the team. This earned him compliments from, among others, Jourdan Serderidis and M-Sport boss Malcolm Wilson.
– Serderidis’ comment came as quite a surprise, but he’s a truly warm-hearted person. I suppose he was impressed that a driver was willing to wash dirty tyres and get himself filthy in the process, Jürgenson told the Estonian outlet Õhtuleht.
– I was doing so-called dirty work there, and it made an impression, Jürgenson continued.
Jürgenson believes that his team player qualities were now noticed at least within the team.
– These are the kinds of things that aren’t really seen from the outside, but they significantly help the team. Within the team, it’s certainly noticed how broadly I’m willing to take part and how well I stay involved in everything, the Estonian reflected.
Jürgenson, 25, is the reigning champion of the Junior WRC category. As a reward, he earned the opportunity to drive four fully funded WRC2 events with a Ford Fiesta Rally2 car in the 2025 season.
In February, the Estonian received more good news. It was announced that Jürgenson will also compete this season in the British Rally Championship with an M-Sport car. This way, he’ll be able to gather more valuable experience behind the wheel of a Rally2 car.
“It’s a really good chance for me to spend some more time in the car and gain experience in the British Rally Championship alongside WRC2 with M-Sport,” Jürgenson said at the time.
“The BRC has a mixed surface calendar as well, which will be perfect for me to develop as an all-around driver. I want to thank Malcolm (Wilson) and Rich(Millener) for this opportunity.”
