Norwegian teen to take part in BTRDA Clubmans

Norwegian 17-year-old elise Freim Myrberg will race a freshly built Peugeot 206 GTI in the BTRDA Clubmans Rallycross Championship this year.

Freim Myrberg made her UK rallycross debut in the final round of the BTRDA series at Croft last October in a Ford Focus and was seventh quickest in heat one before enduring issues through the day and later retiring from the C final. She enjoyed the experience so much that her team is building a car to fully suit the Production category regulations.

“After some struggling to decide what to race in 2019, we landed on the Production class in the BTRDA because we wanted to attend the whole championship this year with a car matching the regulations in the series,” said team manager Oyvind Huseby. “Our team has raced almost every track in Norway over the past 25 years, and it’s very fun to try something new. We made a lot of new friends at Croft, we felt very welcome and that also helped to decide what to do this season. We want to do the full season and see how high up the list Elise can go.”
