Rustad lines up limited World Rallycross assault
Former British Touring Car Championship Independents Trophy winner Tommy Rustad will race in the British round of the World Rallycross Championship at Silverstone as part of a selected programme in 2018.
The Norwegian won the European Rallycross Championship in 2015 driving a Marklund Motorsport-run Volkswagen Polo Supercar and will return to the Swedish squad to race in at least the British and Norwegian rounds of World RX this year. He has spent the last two years contesting the Euro RX series with Scottish team Albatec Racing.
“As the Norwegian World RX round at Lanke isn’t included in the European Championship calendar for this year, we have decided that we will race in selected WRX rounds,” said Rustad. “We don’t have the budget to race in a full season.”
Rustad will race the Polo Supercar that Anton Marklund used to win the Euro RX title last season. Marklund will join Rustad at the World RX events as a two-car effort.
