Ekström moved into the lead of the FIA World Rallycross Championship and has pushed Solberg down to 2nd position, Kristoffersson 3rd and Loeb in 4th.
Ekström’s teammate, Toomas Heikkinen lost a lot of ground in the Championship fight. He didn’t even qualify for the semifinals due to technical problems with his car, so he only gained 1 point for the championship.
The next time the impressive World RX cars will be back on track is May 27th-29th at the British Round at Lydden Hill. An important note is that the championship leader Ekström prioritizes this over Nürburgring 24 Hours, which is a very big thing for Audi. But of course it will be a big feather in the cap for them, if he can win the Rallycross title at the end of the year – even if it’s under his own team name.
