Star-studded field set for Sweden

The FIA European Rallycross Championship has attracted a high quality, 36-car field of Supercars for the Round 6, Rallycross of Sweden at Holjes next weekend (July 5-7).

Former champions from World Rally, European Rallycross, DTM and STCC will all be on show to win in Sweden in front of what's expected to be the largest crowd of the season so far.
The entry is led by defending champion and 2013 points leader Timur Timerzyanov, but the Russian star and his regular rivals in the nine-event championship face the toughest challenge so far this year with an entry swelled by a number of high profile wildcard racers.

Also lining up to make their first starts in the championship are Johan Kristoffersson (the 2012 Superstars, STCC and Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia champion), Pontus Tidemand, Patrik Sandell and Mikael Thiman.
Also notable in the entry list is former TouringCar champion Tommy Rustad who returns for another event after playing a starring role in the Norwegian round of the championship three weeks ago.
Perhaps the fastest driver in the championship to date, but so far without a win to his credit, a steering joint failure costing him a certain victory in Finland at the beginning of June, former world rally champion Petter Solberg is more determined than ever to win this time out, Holjes the 'home' event for the Norwegian driver whose team is based in the nearby Swedish town of Torsby.
The strength and quality of the entry does not stop with the biggest Supercar field to date, TouringCar and Super1600 have attracted 19 and 23 starters respectively and the fledgling JRX series for 14-17-year-old racers will have five drivers on the grid.
 
ENTRY LIST FOR RX OF SWEDEN CONFIRMED


The entry list for the 2013 FIA European Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy, Round 6, Volkswagen Rallycross of Sweden has been confirmed.
Comprising 37 Supercars, 25 TouringCars and 23 Super1600s, the event in Holjes, Sweden will see more drivers attend than any other RallycrossRX event this year.
Included in the Supercar catagory is double DTM champion Mattias Ekstrom as well as STCC champion Johan Kristoffersson, Pontus Tideman, Patrick Sandell and Mikael Thiman.
