  • 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.

  • Marklund Motorsport Tvåa I Argentina
    2014-12-01 10:13 CET Marklund Motorsport tvåa i Argentina Marklund Motorsport, med support av Volkswagen Motorsport, avslutade en framgångsrik säsong i FIA World Rallycross Championship genom att Toomas ”Topi” Heikkinen nådde andraplatsen i förarmästerskapet i finalen Argentina i helgen. I tillägg till detta slutade Marklund Motorsport tvåa i teammästerskapet. Heikkinen vann sitt första heat i argentinska San Luis under fredagen. I heat nummer tre satte han bästa tid men i det fjärde fick han motorproblem i sin Volkswagen Polo RX Supercar. Efter ett hårt arbete av teamets mekaniker lyckades finländaren komma tvåa i sin semifinal och kunde därmed ställa upp sig i andra startled under söndagens final. Där väntade nya bekymmer. • Någonting gick sönder i den främre hjulupphängningen och det var nästan omöjligt att styra bilen, säger Heikkinen. • Att komma femma var inte vad jag hoppades på och vi vann inte teammästerskapstiteln, vilket känns trist efter det hårda arbete som alla lagt ned under säsongen. Men jag är otroligt glad över att bli tvåa i den totala ställningen i World Rallycross Championship efter ett långt och tufft år. ”Topi” Heikkinens teamkamrat Anton Marklund missade finalplatsen men slutade ändå på en fin sjätteplats i förarmästerskapet. • Vi kom till Argentina för att försvara vår ledning i teammästerskapet men hade tyvärr otur även om teamet gjorde ett fantastiskt jobb. Vi får gratulera Olsbergs MSE efter alla tuffa fighter under året. Grattis också till Topi som blev tvåa totalt. Han har verkligen varit säkerheten själv under året och har arbetat perfekt tillsammans med Anton. Det har varit kul att se dem pusha varandra under tävlingarna samtidigt som de utvecklat en god vänskap och respekt för varandra, säger Jan Marklund, teamchef Marklund Motorsport.
