Ekström winning in rallying
The current DTM champion Mattias Ekström today proved that he masters rallying impressively well. Ekström entered the Spanish WRC event driving a Group-N Mitsubishi Lancer with Stefan Bergman as his co-driver.
Mattias immideately started the rally with a furious pace opeing up a lead of one minute and forty seconds after only four stages. In fact, Mattias won all stages in his class but three during the entire rally. As he crossed the finish line of the last stage the distance was over five minutes down to second place. Earlier this year Ekström won the Swedish WRC event in the Group-N class proving that he can be quick both on snow and tarmac. As reported earlier Ekström is sheduled to test for Skoda´s WRC team later. Next up though for Mattias is the Race Of Champions where he will represent Sweden with Kenny Bräck. Final results Catalunya Group-N 1 Ekström/Bergman Mitsubishi Lancer 4h06.54:4 2 Trivino/Noriega Mitsubishi Lancer +5:15.4 3 Basols/Haro SEAT Leon +8:37.8 4 Fores/Aluju SEAT Leon +9:24.1 5 Font/Munoz Mitsubishi Lancer +10:32.0 Source: Mitsubishi |
