KLARA ANDERSSON Spins Into Gravel as World RX Heats Up at Höljes

May 7, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

KLARA ANDERSSON’s World RX hopes took an early hit at Höljes when she slid into the gravel right off the start line, creating chaos that affected multiple drivers including Ole Christian Veiby who initially capitalized on her misfortune before spinning himself. While Swedish drivers dominated the treacherous conditions, Andersson’s setback highlights the razor-thin margins in rallycross where one mistake can derail an entire weekend.
The Magic Weekend delivered on its promise of unpredictability with weather conditions ranging from soaking wet to dry throughout qualifying sessions. Johan Kristofferson leads after commanding performances in both heats, but the constantly changing track conditions mean tomorrow’s sessions could completely shake up the order – giving drivers like Andersson a chance to recover from today’s early drama.
Despite having only limited female representation visible in the World RX field, the championship continues to showcase the intense wheel-to-wheel action that makes rallycross one of motorsport’s most exciting disciplines. The expanded EuroRX1 field and strong RX3 competition demonstrate the series’ growth, though we’re still waiting to see more women breaking through at the highest levels of this demanding sport.
