CE Dealer Team heads to Riga for FIA World RX double header

Construction Equipment Dealer Team will face its first-ever double header, as the FIA World Rallycross Championship heads to Latvia this weekend for round two and three of the championship’s ground-breaking electric era. 

CE Dealer Team arrives to Riga after an encouraging first weekend in Norway three weeks ago where Klara Andersson claimed fourth and team-mate Niclas Grönholm fifth, with both drivers of the fully electric PWR RX1e race cars going through to the final.

”It will be exciting to come to Riga for a challenging double header. After our promising debut in Norway, I am determined to continue working hard with the team to develop both myself and the car even more. The track is one of the most technical of the entire season, which will be a fun challenge. I feel good and look forward to the weekend,” said Klara Andersson.

Niclas Grönholm has previously been on the podium at the Latvian track, located just outside the capital city of Riga.

”I am hoping for a strong weekend with a solid points haul. We have done some work between the races, which we hope will make us a bit quicker. Riga has always been a good event for me, so I am feeling pretty confident going back this year,” said Niclas Grönholm.

After a promising start to the sustainable new era of electric rallycross, CE Dealer Team looks to continue to push the boundaries on track and inspire for a sustainable change in society.

”We look forward to continuing our ground-breaking journey in the World RX together with our partners, and we have a vital weekend coming with the Riga double header. After a solid start to our campaign in Norway, we have worked hard to develop both the team and our cars for the challenges ahead. Our ambition is to continue to score points and take a step further up in the results,” said Jussi Pinomäki, Team Manager of CE Dealer Team.

The FIA World RX of Riga starts on Saturday with round two of the 2022 FIA World RX, followed by round three on Sunday. The double header broadcast globally – as well as through the RX+ online streaming platform.
