Robin Larsson, son of double ERC winner Lars Larsson, is set to drive an all-new Audi A1 SuperCar in the Swedish Rallycross Championship as well as in EuroRX.

With Michael Jernberg and Ingvar Gunnarsson he has some strong people behind him.

If it's FIA compatible why not? The Beetle is also on sale in the rest of the world.

rx-guru · 17 Jan 2014, 19:13 (Ref:3355314)

You didn't get my point.

**FIRE** · 17 Jan 2014, 19:35 (Ref:3355320)

Okay I understand.

Prodrive have posted photos of MINIs in build - some WRC spec but they also mentioned rallycross cars too - so somebody is going to be using one (or more) somewhere.

Yep, she was on an informal visit to Prodrive recently and posted pics in her blog at a leading Swedish newspaper.

USRallycross · 21 Jan 2014, 13:32 (Ref:3356691)

I wonder if the OMSE budget will be impacted by Marcus Ericsson moving into F1 with Caterham. Olsbergs was the brand on the side of the car although I know many famous Swedes were behind the effort to get a Swede in F1 (first since Peterson/Borgudd?) but Olsbergs was the 'face'. Caterham require funding........

Also, Olsbergs put a lot of funding into GRC last year with SuperCar and Lites. I hope Jan-Erik is getting the return he deserves - great guy btw.

What do you guys think of Topi moving? Drivers aren't loyal and I guess why should they be, but OMSE put a lot into Topi over the last couple of years both on and off the track and delivered a Championship winning car for him. I am "in" on other stuff at OMSE but this surprised me a little.

Money is money though and VW money is talking to a lot of people right now.......we all knew it was just a matter of time until Jost took VW on the same path as he took Ford.

chunder · 21 Jan 2014, 16:45 (Ref:3356740)

No such thing as loyalty in any sport

I dont rate Topi too much, I think he is very aggressive, and this no doubt comes from Eriksson a little, he was always the dirtiest driver in recent years, but Topi was also a little bolshy in the Saab.

If Foust moves I will be amazed, that team is built around his success largely and he has always got the best out of it in Europe if not the US.

Ignoring my opinions on Topi as a driver I'm surprised to see him move at this point. Although the Polo has shown promise at times, the Fiesta is a proven race winner (in Europe and the US) and he obviously knows his way round the car.

Would think he would stick with what he knows for his debut in the World Rallycross. Bit of a slap in the face to OMSE as well: I guess VW made the move worth his while...

I based the list on the press releases I could remember from the main rallycross sites: have Jeanney and Scott/Albatec made releases for 2014 yet?

If all of the above materialise there should be some decent sized entries (at the World events at least) in 2014?

tbtstt · 22 Jan 2014, 11:42 (Ref:3357028)

Forgive the double post (again!), but just spotted this article on Fredrik Tiger over on ERC24:

http://erc24.com/archives/16361

Not going to lose this car in the paddock...

chunder · 22 Jan 2014, 12:51 (Ref:3357047)

The guy has dominated Supernational or beena top driver in that category for years

Not that keen on him to be honest, seems a dirty driver, doesnt need to be with the quickest car, only car who uses a 6 to any effect.

Will fit in fine in ERC I imagine

tbtstt · 22 Jan 2014, 14:41 (Ref:3357083)

Short article on OMSE over on the RallycrossRX website:

http://www.rallycrossrx.com/article/...y---behind-the

The opening text includes the lines:

That seems to indicate that at least one OMSE Fiesta will be present in the World Championship. Who will the driver(s) be though?...

bigdick1977 · 22 Jan 2014, 16:14 (Ref:3357109)

Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan in two Rockstar Fiestas! Against two Monster DS3's and two Red Bull 208's?

tbtstt · 22 Jan 2014, 16:42 (Ref:3357118)

Potentially three Monster DS3's according to the original LD Motorsport press release. That was a month ago though, so perhaps plans have changed.

I have my fingers crossed that Foust will run in a Fiesta: the Foust/VW rumour seems to keep surfacing though...

...Deegan has been quick in the GRC and has a lot of off road short course experience so he certainly has the potential to be competitive in the World Championship. Not keen on him as a personality though, so I wouldn't be that fussed if we saw a different driver at the wheel of a Ford.

Will be great to have a Ford (or two) running the whole championship.

polle · 22 Jan 2014, 17:52 (Ref:3357136)

About Lydden Hill :
Is it sure that the RX race is on saturday and sunday and not on monday ?
I'd like to book my hotel for saturdaynight.

USRallycross · 22 Jan 2014, 18:15 (Ref:3357144)

I don't think Brian is running too many World or European rounds. He has big commitments over here with Metal Mulisha and the trucks, etc. He is a very smart businessman and don't think WRX has the necessary exposure for him. But could be wrong........

OMSE announcement tomorrow. Wait and see!

brad_m · 23 Jan 2014, 14:16 (Ref:3357442)

Now you can all end the speculation...

Olsberg 2014 driver line up...

http://sh173788.website.pl/?p=413

...Andreas Bakkerud and Reinis Nitišs to run in the World Rallycross Championship. Patrik Sandell and Joni Wiman will run Supercars in the GRC, Sebastian Eriksson and Daniel Holten will run in the new Rallycross Supercar Scandinavia.

I think things (according to the press releases!

) now look like this:

Petter Solberg - Citroen DS3 (PSRX) (WorldRX)
Alexander Hvall - Citroen DS3 (PSRX) (WorldRX)
Andreas Bakkerud - Ford Fiesta (Olsberg MSE) (WorldRX)
Reinis Nitišs - Ford Fiesta (Olsberg MSE) (WorldRX)
Liam Doran - Citroen DS3 (LD Motorsport) (WorldRX)
? - Citroen DS3 (LD Motorsport) (WorldRX)

Anton Marklund - Volkswagen Polo (Marklund Motorsport) (WorldRX)
Rene Munnich - Audi A3 (Munnich Motorsport) (WorldRX)
Ramona Karlsson - ? (WorldRX)
Derek Tohill - ? (WorldRX)
Frode Holte - Hyundai i20 (Frode Holte Motorsport) (?)
Tommy Rustad - Volvo C30 (Nyborg Motorsport) (Select WorldRX/EuroRX?)
Robin Larsson - Audi A1 (Larsson Jernberg Racing) (Select WorldRX)
Johan Kristoffersson - Volkswagen Polo (Kristoffersson Motorsport) (Select WorldRX)

Mats Öhman - ?
Michaël De Keersmaecker - ?
Guttorm Lindefjell - ?
Mattias Ekström - ?
Fredrik Tiger - Ford Focus (Select WorldRX/EuroRX?)

Damn shame that Foust won't be out in a Fiesta.

EDIT: Andrew Jordan confirmed as racing at Lydden in an OMSE Fiesta:
