After intense qualifiers that adds some thriller to the Holjes RX, the drivers who made it to the finals are Timmy and Kevin Hansen, Niclas Gronholm, Kevin Abbring, Reinis Nitiss, and Sebastian Eriksson.

At the finals, Eriksson wowed the crowd by not letting Kevin Hansen get in his way to obtain his first ever World RX win at the World RX of Sweden. Such agressive blocking tactic Eriksson pulled off and it worked outstandingly. Reinis Nitiss completes the podium with a third place finish.
