Rallycross giants join TitansRX! RX record winners Hansen Motorsport will start in TitansRX’s 2019 championship
One of Rallycross’ most renowned teams, Hansen Motorsport, will participate in the brand- new TitansRX Series. Run by 14-time European Rallycross Champion Kenneth Hansen, the team will be fielding his sons Timmy, World Championship runner-up in 2015, and Kevin, RX Lites World Champion 2015.
The Swedes have been in Rallycross since the early 1990ies, competing in the European Championship with Ford and Citroen. From 2014 onward, Hansen was Peugeot Sport’s official partner in the World Championship until the car manufacturer opted for an own factory team in December 2017.
"I am very happy and excited about joining TitansRX in 2019. The cars will be fast and the calendar features iconic circuits. I can't wait for the season to begin”, Timmy Hansen said. “I want to thank Max (Pucher, Series CEO) for taking the initiative to launch TitansRX, a high- profile championship with a vision to take Rallycross back to its roots. It is exactly, what our sport needs right now”, he added.
His younger brother Kevin is also ready to fight for Silverware saying: “I am young, I am fast and I am hungry for success. I am eager to show my true potential and get back to the Victory Lane. Big thanks to Max for giving me this amazing opportunity!"
Naturally, TitansRX CEO Max J. Pucher was all smiles. “Hansen Motorsport has been fighting at the top of our sport for nearly three decades now. It is an honour that they are the first team to enter our 2019 championship.”
The 2019 TitansRX season will take off at the Dreux Circuit, France, on June 29/30. All events will be televised live on Eurosport and streamed live on Eurosport Player.
