Audi and EKS: Points Instead of Podium
Audi MediaInfo Communications Motorsport Virginia Brusch Tel: +49 841 89-41753 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi -mediacenter.com/en Audi and EKS: points instead of podium • Mattias Ekström takes fourth place in Norway • Rallycross World Champion remains second in overall standings • Ekström: “Mistake at the start cost us the podium finish” Hell, June 11, 2017 – Mattias Ekström took fourth place at the sixth round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship 2017 in Hell. 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. -

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. -
Fia World Rally Cross Championship 2015-Hockenheim
Beat: Sports FIA WORLD RALLY CROSS CHAMPIONSHIP 2015-HOCKENHEIM PETTER SOLBERG WINS INAUGURAL RACE Hockenheim, 03.05.2015, 18:00 Time USPA NEWS - Norway´s Petter Solberg leads round two of the FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy at the end of four action-packed heats on the new purpose-built RX track at Hockenheim, Germany.

Doran was leading the World RX crews overnight after his heat two win but his team-mate Solberg clawed to the top of the Intermediate Classification by winning heats three and four. Round one winner Johan Kristoffersson iscurrently fourth despite losing time with two punctures in heat two and an impact with Team Peugeot-Hansen´s Davy Jeanney in today´s closing race. “It´s been a fantastic day for us with two heat wins, a track record and 16 World Championship points,“ grinned Solberg, who put on a fantastic show for the thousands of fans who watched the thrilling RX action at the famed Sachs Arena inside the F1 venue. “It didn´t get off to the best start for us yesterday but then everything has been getting better and better. I think we put on a good show for the DTM fans too, they love the rallycross action and have been saying how exciting the racing is!“ Wildcard entrant Tanner Foust is currently fifth after the American Top Gear presenter set two top five heat times, while Team Peugeot- Hansen´s Davy Jeanney is sixth in the Peugeot 208 WRX Supercar. -
No Happy End for Audi and EKS in Canada
Audi MediaInfo Communications Motorsport Virginia Brusch Tel: +49 841 89-41753 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi -mediacenter.com/en No happy end for Audi and EKS in Canada • Toomas Heikkinen takes fifth place in the Rallycross World Championship • World Champion Ekström retains third place in the overall standings • Ekström: “A good weekend until the semi-final” Trois-Rivières/Neuburg, August 6, 2017 – Toomas Heikkinen continued his streak in the eighth round of FIA World Rallycross Championship in Trois-Rivières by reaching the final in Canada for the fourth time in succession – a record. Any hopes of a podium finish were however destroyed by a slow puncture. The Finn was fifth in the end. Mattias Ekström was forced to retire in the semi-final with clutch problems. In the overall standings, the reigning Rallycross World Champion still holds third – as does EKS in the teams’ classification. In the only overseas race, torrential rain transformed the street circuit into a lake and quagmire on Saturday. Toomas Heikkinen and Mattias Ekström defied the adverse conditions to hold second and fourth place respectively after the first day. “Saturday was a good start, even if we didn’t have the paces of the two Polos of Johan Kristoffersson and Petter Solberg,” said Ekström. “Things also started very well on Sunday in the dry.” The Swede had qualified third for the final races for the best twelve drivers, and started from the front row. A problem with the clutch initially dropped him back, before he had to park his Audi S1 EKS RX quattro on the penultimate lap without drive. -
Hard Helg I Hell for Andreas Bakkerud
23-08-2015 20:57 CEST Hard helg i Hell for Andreas Bakkerud Rallycross in Hell ble en eventyrlig suksess for arrangøren med over 19000 tilskuere over tre solfylte og flotte dager på Lånkebanen i Stjørdal. Publikum fikk oppleve tøffe fighter og heftig kjøring fra tidenes største startfelt med Supercars. For Andreas Bakkerud ble det derimot en hard helg, og lite mesterskapspoeng med hjem. – Akkurat det kan jeg skylde meg selv for, men arrangementet denne helgen har vært utrolig bra, forteller Bakkerud. Bakkerud havnet bakpå allerede før hjulene hadde rullet i gang i på Lørdagen. - Det ble en dobbel joker etter at bilen beveget seg på startplata i første omgang. Dermed ble jeg kjempende bakfra hele helgen. Vi hadde god fart på rundetidene, men klarte aldri å få det helt til totalt i heatene, forteller Bakkerud som endte som nummer 8 etter fire omganger. I semifinalen ble det virkelig action, og Andreas kom ut side om side med Petter Solberg. Det endte med en episode det ble snakket mye om i sosiale medier i ettertid: – Jeg gjorde samme manøver mot Tommy Rustad i fjerde omgang, men da uten kontakt mellom bilene. Jeg krysset linje bak Petter og prøver å gå for den luken som er der, men det blir kontakt, jeg treffer curbsen og slår i stykker mitt høyre framhjul. I ettertid er det enkelt å si at jeg burde bremset – men slik er rallycross det er tight og ting skjer raskt, forteller Bakkerud og legger til: - Det er jeg som ødelegger bilen min der ikke Petter. Bakkerud fortsatte å kjempe flere runder med bare tre hjul, men da felgen løsnet, og bremsene forsvant var det bare å parkere. -

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. -
