  • Subaru and Travis Pastrana Capture Third Consecutive Rally Win to Open 2021 Season
    Subaru Of America, Inc. Media Information One Subaru Drive Camden, NJ 08103 Main Number: 856-488-8500 CONTACT: William Stokes Dominick Infante (856) 488-8578 (856) 488-8615 [email protected] [email protected] SUBARU AND TRAVIS PASTRANA CAPTURE THIRD CONSECUTIVE RALLY WIN TO OPEN 2021 SEASON Olympia, WA., Apr 26, 2021 - Subaru Motorsports USA driver Travis Pastrana and co-driver Rhianon Gelsomino took their third straight overall victory to open the 2021 American Rally Association (ARA) season at this weekend’s DirtFish Olympus Rally, giving the #199 crew a commanding lead in the ARA championship chase. Pastrana and Subaru teammate Brandon Semenuk now sit first and third in the season standings with three rounds of the nine-event calendar complete. “Great weekend here in Washington!” said Pastrana after the event. “We came in looking for a podium to keep us in good position in the standings and ended up coming away with a win—sometimes it’s about being in the right place at the right time. These roads are amazing and Brandon was really on it, great to have Ken Block back in the fight too. Rhi and I were happy to get the points and take a solid lead in the championship with six rounds to go!” A favorite of drivers and fans alike, Olympus Rally is notorious for rain, fast-changing road conditions, and some of the most scenic and challenging stages on the American calendar. With defending champion Barry McKenna and his Ford Fiesta WRC unfortunately sidelined due to a family issue, the fight for Open Class honors was between the two blue and gold Subaru Motorsports USA entries of Pastrana and Semenuk and the newly debuted #43 Hoonigan Racing Division WRX STI of Block and co-driver Alex Gelsomino.

  • SUMMER 2021 SPRING 2020 Chairman’S Thoughts
    MARSHALS’ The newsletter of the South East Region of the British Motorsport P OST Marshals Club SUMMER 2021 SPRING 2020 Chairman’s Thoughts Hello and welcome to the Summer. Yep, it’s official our banner above says summer so there is no excuse. With the ever-changing landscape that is covid I’m a bit cautious about the content of this introduction but hopefully we are heading in the right direction and with the return of ‘trainees’ (perhaps soon a grading name consigned to history…) and ‘taster days’ it’s beginning to feel a little more normal. On that point, taster days are an important tool for our recruitment teams and feedback from some attendees at the recent Brands Hatch Speedfest meeting (the first for a long while…) was highly positive, as can be seen from the following comments: “I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the contribution from the post crew were invaluable to making the day enjoyable and learning about the different roles / responsibilities. I’d definitely like to volunteer for more events and will join the BMMC”… “Great day! Give me more! Guys were great! Good fun, yes, give me some more! Good instructions and guidance”… “Thank you so much for yesterday, I haven't stopped smiling since getting home. Everyone on post 6 were just absolutely amazing! I can't fault anything! I learnt so much and was so happy to get involved with as much as I could! I really enjoyed flagging too!! Had the best day ever!” I must also start though with some thanks.

  • Audi Driver Ekström on Podium After Pouring Rain
    Audi MediaInfo Motorsport Communications Virginia Brusch Phone: +49 841 89-41753 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi -mediacenter.com/en Audi driver Ekström on podium after pouring rain • FIA World Rallycross Champion Mattias Ekström finishes third in Lohéac • Audi DTM driver Nico Müller celebrates impressive rallycross debut Lohéac/Neuburg, September 3, 2017 – Mattias Ekström is back on the road to success in the FIA World Rallycross Championship. At the ninth round in Lohéac, the reigning World Champion finished third – the first podium result since his victory in Hockenheim last May. In front of 75,000 spectators, the Swede was only beaten in the final by his countryman Johan Kristoffersson and the French local matador Sébastien Loeb. In the overall standings, Ekström is third behind Kristoffersson and his team mate Petter Solberg – also like EKS in the team classification. Following heavy rain, the final race in Brittany became a mud festival featuring many overtaking moves. “Saturday sun and Sunday rather more swimming and sliding, a varied weekend,” confirmed Ekström. “I’m actually quite satisfied with my third place, but I’m a little annoyed because we weren’t so far from the front. In the dry and in the rain we were just missing a tiny bit, but we can certainly build on the performance.” In Lohéac, Ekström’s team mates Reinis Nitišs and Toomas Heikkinen once again made the semi- final races for the twelve fastest drivers, but drew the short straw at this stage. “After contact with Andreas Bakkerud my wipers stopped working, from there on I was running blind,” summarized Nitišs and added: “I’m disappointed with the result because it doesn’t show our real performance.” Heikkinen missed the final after a collision with Ken Block.

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.

  • News Release 20.09.15 Petter's Best in Barcelona Norwegian Superstar
    News release 20.09.15 Petter’s best in Barcelona Norwegian superstar Petter Solberg celebrated victory at the maiden World RX of Barcelona at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya today (Sunday). Petter’s no stranger to winning, but it’s been a pretty lean summer in terms of time on the top step for the two-time FIA World Champion. Which is why he was so pleased to land a first victory since World RX of Great Britain at Lydden Hill in May. That and the fact he didn’t let his son Oliver down… Solberg, who is 35 points clear at the top of the World RX table with three rounds remaining this season, said: “We have fought hard for this win the whole weekend. We’ve run a lot of different set-ups on the car – we had to really work at it to catch Peugeot. All the time, the 208 was taking tenths of seconds, but eventually the brilliant PSRX engineers worked it out. “My son won a crosskart race in Sweden today; I got the message by telephone and he was joking and being quite confident and cocky in telling me I couldn’t let the family down – I actually really felt the pressure from that! “In the end, I could call him back and be quite cocky back with him. I liked that! “Everything was going quite well from the start, but in the third heat, I touched the wall on the left side – there was loads of dust in the car and I really couldn’t see so well.
