FIA World RX 2024: World RX of Sweden

The second half of 2024 is in full swing and the 2024 FIA World Rallycross Championship has begun. It's a clash between fully electric and internal-combustion RX cars and with new and returning faces joining in the clash, the opening salvo in Holjes, Sweden is the start of the power struggle.

Johan Kristofferson drew first blood by dominating the entire Sweden opener. The first saw him giving Klara Andersson heartbreak in the fight to victory lane while Gustav Bergstrom completed the podium with a 3rd place finish. The final part saw Kristofferson beating the likes of Niclas Gronholm and Ole Christian Veiby. With Kristofferson winning the first two races, the Battle of Technologies saw the internal combustion side gaining the upper hand.

The next event is the World RX of Hungary this July 27-28.
