Rally: Cristian García and Mattias Ekström continue on the road to success

16. June 2017 -

The title defence project is well underway: with five rounds completed, last year’s winner Cristian García, Team RMC Motorsport, is leading the Spanish Tarmac Rally Championship drivers’ standings. World champion Mattias Ekström, Team EKS, also had a successful start into the new season with three wins in the FIA World Rallycross Championship.

Cristian García is seamlessly building on his outstanding performance from the previous year. In the Rallye Ourense, round five of the 2017 Spanish Tarmac Rally Championship, the Spaniard claimed another victory with his Ford Fiesta RS, equipped with RST 5 brake pads. At 59.5 seconds, he had a clear advantage over his rivals after the final stage. With this success, he further extended his lead in the drivers’ standings.

Mattias Ekström also had a successful start of the FIA World Rallycross Championship season. Three wins from the first three rounds of the season showed that the Swedish world champion again is a force to be reckoned with this year. After good results in the further rounds, Mattias Ekström is currently second in the drivers’ standings with good prospects.
