• KLARA ANDERSSON proved she belongs among the elite, earning her spot in the Portugal final alongside teammate Niclas Grönholm for CE Dealer Team. While the men dominated the headlines, ANDERSSON quietly delivered when it mattered most, showing that consistent performance speaks louder than flashy victories.
• The tech balance drama brewing between electric and gas cars created an interesting backdrop for ANDERSSON’s achievement. Electric vehicles had clear launch advantages off the dry tarmac start, but once drivers hit the loose surface, skill became the deciding factor – exactly where ANDERSSON has consistently shown her strength throughout her rallycross career.
• FIA officials are taking a measured approach to potential rule changes, with road sport director Emilia Abel emphasizing they’ll wait until after the Magic Weekend to make decisions. This patience benefits drivers like ANDERSSON who’ve adapted well to the current regulations and don’t need constant rule shuffling to remain competitive against their male counterparts.
