Linnemann to be the first to blood the Olsbergsms­e Honda Civic in Rallyx Nordic

-

European rallycross Supercar racer Ulrik Linnemann will become the first driver to race an Olsbergsms­e-built Honda Civic Coupe in Europe, at the final round of Rallyx Nordic at the new Tierp circuit near Stockholm this weekend.

Linnemann will use the event to assess the car ahead of potentiall­y swapping from his ex-marklund Motorsport Volkswagen Polo for next season.

“I have chosen to participat­e in this race because, by already testing a car better than my own Polo, I felt like it was the best possible way to prepare for next season,” he said. “I haven’t decided yet which championsh­ip I will be participat­ing in for the next season, but the Rallyx Nordic 2019 calendar is interestin­g. It is very cool to be the first person to race the Honda Civic in Europe.”

Linnemann won his home round of Rallyx Nordic in Denmark this year in the wet.
