RallycrossWorld.COM #100 – June 2012 | 5 100 Rallycross stories Rallycross is… For the 100th issue, 100 things that come to mind when we think about Rallycross Martin Schanche There was never any question of the man not being in the list, but where do you begin, or end, what to include and what to leave out? There are so many achievements, stories, events, tales and legends that you could easily write a book about Martin Schanche. One that always pops up in my memory is a story Schanche told me of his 1984 trip to Pikes Peak Hillclimb. In the middle of a stunning year in the European Rallycross Championship with the Xtrac Escort, Schanche decided to go to America and tackle Pikes Peak. Opting to run in the Open Rally class, the Xtrac was fitted with lights and licence plates before being sent to the States. This was at a time when Schanche still tackled the ERC almost single-handed, towing the Xtrac on a trailer behind a Granada estate car. To economise on transport costs, the car was sent to America with all the spares and tools packed inside it, when he retrieved the car from customs and transport agents in the states, Schanche figured he’d simply drive it to Pikes Peak. Which is where the story really begins. Passing through town on his way, Schanche found himself sitting at traffic lights when Camaro pulled up alongside. “That guy sat there revving his engine and looking across at my funny little European car with all its stickers and advertising. When the lights changed he went racing off and at the next set of lights he was sitting there revving up again and laughing,” explained Schanche.

  • Audi and EKS: Points Instead of Podium

In his tenth World Championship finale in a row, the defending rallycross World Champion missed yet another podium finish by 0.4 seconds. In the overall standings, the Swede still holds second behind compatriot Johan Kristoffersson. In the teams’ classification EKS is third at the half-way stage of the season. Ekström made a flying start around the rollercoaster track in Norway. Despite torrential rain, the Swede coped the best with the slippery track at the wheel of his Audi S1 EKS RX quattro, and led the overall classification after the first day. “I was a little surprised that we were so fast in the wet, but that was quattro weather,” joked Ekström after the final. “In the dry conditions on Sunday, we struggled again to match the pace of the competition. In the final we lost crucial ground right at the start. This was our own mistake and this ultimately cost us the podium finish.” Although Ekström leaves Norway without a trophy, he still scored 23 important points for the overall standings. After six of twelve rounds, the World Champion is eight points behind the leading VW driver Johan Kristoffersson.

  • Norska Rallycrosseliten Till Rallyx I Arvika STCC Och Norsk Rallycross
    Norska rallycrosseliten till RallyX i Arvika STCC och norsk rallycross går samman. När RallyX avgörs i Arvika den 1 augusti kommer det norska mästerskapet i Supercar att ingå i tävlingen. – Det är väldigt viktigt för RallyX att bygga en relation till våra grannländer. Det här är ett led i vår framtidsvision att göra RallyX till en nordisk serie, säger Jonas Lundin, vd på STCC AB. – Ett samarbete mellan STCC AB och rallycrossektionen i Norge om framtida arrangemang är i linje med norsk rallycross önskan om en stark och framtidsinriktad serie för våra Supercar-förare. Ett samarbete med STCC AB är ett steg i rätt riktning för att vi gemensamt ska kunna bygga en stark och publikattraktiv serie, säger Trond Bakkom, i Norska bilsportförbundets rallycrossektion. – Med vår historia inom rallycrossporten ser vi verkligen fram emot norska förare i Rally X Arvika. Vi hoppas på en stor publikuppslutning från båda sidor av gränsen och att vi får en fantastisk dag tillsammans, säger Anders Andersson, ordförande i MK Team Westom Närheten till Norge och det stora rallycrossintresset i västra Värmland gör Arvika och Westombanan till den optimala platsen för en gemensam mästerskapstävling i rallycross. Arvika är den fjärde och näst sista deltävlingen i årets upplaga av RallyX, rallycrosserien för klasserna Supercar och Supercar Lites. RallyX inleds i Skövde 8-9 maj och fortsätter sedan i Strängnäs (11 juni) och Kalix (18 juli) innan den svenska – och norska – eliten kommer till Värmland den 1 augusti. Efter framträdandet i Arvika återstår bara finalen på Solvalla i Stockholm 11-12 september. Sverige och Norge är två länder med stark tradition och stora framgångar inom rallycrossen.

Consequently, Audi Sport, in addition to its commitments in Formula E and the DTM, will be competing in the FIA World Rallycross Championship as well. Longstanding Audi factory driver Mattias Ekström founded EKS in early 2014, subsequently leading the squad to the top of the world’s standings with great personal commitment within the space of only three years. In the 2016 season, Ekström and EKS in the all-wheel-drive Audi S1 EKS RX quattro won both the drivers’ and the teams’ world championships against strong competitors from Ford, Peugeot, Volkswagen and numerous privateer teams. “We realized that it was becoming increasingly difficult for EKS to stand its ground against the factory teams, so we decided to intensify our commitment in the World RX,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Dieter Gass. Thanks to factory help from AUDI AG, the EKS project can continue.

  • Rallycross: Audi and EKS Without Ekström in Höljes
    Audi MediaInfo Communications Motorsport Virginia Brusch Tel: +49 841 89-41753 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi -mediacenter.com/en Rallycross: Audi and EKS without Ekström in Höljes • P-G Andersson to stand in for Rallycross World Champion Mattias Ekström • EKS aims to recapture second place in the teams’ standings at home round • Ekström: “DTM has priority” Neuburg, June 27, 2017 – Höljes will be hosting round seven of the FIA World Rallycross Championship this weekend. The event in the Swedish province of Värmland is both the home round for EKS and a big motorsport party. The organizers expect some 45,000 spectators to turn out for the “Magic Weekend” from June 30 to July 2. One of the protagonists, though, will be missing: Mattias Ekström. The Swedish Audi factory driver passes up his home round in favor of the DTM round at the Norisring. His compatriot P-G Andersson will stand in for him. “In Höljes, I won in 2014 and 2015. It goes without saying that I’d have liked to clinch my third big trophy there,” says the reigning Rallycross World Champion. “But the DTM has priority and, regrettably, I can’t split myself in half. Fortunately, my boss, Dieter Gass, made the decision for me.” His Swedish compatriot P-G Andersson will take Ekström’s place in Höljes. The 2004 and 2007 Junior Rally World Champion is no stranger to the World RX. In 2014, he debuted in the 560-hp Audi S1 EKS RX quattro at the World RX round in Turkey. In the 2015 season, the now 37-year- old Andersson contested ten rounds in a VW Polo for Marklund Motorsport, scoring a fourth place in Belgium as his best result.
