2018 EURO RX SUPERCAR ENTRY LIST REVEALED

RIGA, LATVIA
10/03/2018

The five-round Euro RX Supercar Championship will see 23 drivers of 12 nationalities battle for the title, led by reigning champion Anton Marklund, who will defend his 2017 title driving the Marklund Motorsport Volkswagen Polo. A proven race winner at World RX level, Latvian Reinis Nitiss will focus his attention on the Euro RX Championship driving a Ford Fiesta run by Set Promotion.

Last year’s runner-up Thomas Bryntesson returns with his sights set on going one better in 2018, the Norwegian youngster, who won in France last year, driving an Olsbergs MSE-built Ford Fiesta for JC Raceteknik this season. Hungarian “CSUCSU” is another to make the switch, the Speedy Motorsport driver in a VW Polo in round one but expected to debut his new Skoda Fabia in round two.

In all, seven manufacturers and nine different models will be represented in 2018, including two-time Euro RX champion Derek Tohill driving a Ford Fiesta ST, 2017 front runner Rene Munnich in the ALL-INKL.COM Munnich Motorsport SEAT Ibiza, Andros Trophy champion JB Dubourg in a G-FORS Renault Clio and multiple Swedish Champion Peter Hedstrom at the wheel of a VW Polo.

Kjetil Larsen (ex-Marklund VW Polo), Anders Braten and Philip Gehrman (Eklund Motorsport VW Beetles) join the Euro RX field from the TouringCar series, while Ulrik Linnemann steps up from Super1600 driving a VW Polo.
