Kristoffersson seals 2017 WRC Championship

Sweden’s Johan Kristoffersson has won the 2017 FIZ World Rallycross Championship with two rounds still remaining.

PSRX Volkswagen Sweden (Kristoffersson and team-mate Petter Solberg) has also won the teams’ championship after a dominant season with its pair of VW Polo GTi Supercars.

Kristoffersson took his fifth event win, and ninth podium, in a row at the Neste World RX of Latvia in Riga last weekend extending his commanding lead at the top of the driver standings to 62 points (60 points remain over the final two events of the season). PSRX Volkswagen Sweden also leve Latvia with a 112-point advantage in the teams’ championship, a big enough gap over Team Peugeot-Hansen to guarantee VW the team trophy.
