FIA World RX round in Belgium cancelled due to ongoing investigation

The FIA World RX round at Mettet, Belgium, has been cancelled due to the ongoing investigation of the fire at Special ONE Racing’s paddock during the round at Lydden Hill, UK.

"We are of course sad to see the Mettet event being cancelled, meaning that we cannot meet the wonderful Belgian fans and partners to the team. We do however understand and support the decision behind it, as it's important for the investigation of the incident at Lydden Hill to be thoroughly investigated so that the necessary actions can be taken for safe and exciting World RX racing," said Jussi Pinomäki, Team Manager of CE Dealer Team.

The decision means that CE Dealer Team will instead focus on an even bigger presence during the next FIA World RX round at Estering in Germany on August 19-20.

Four FIA World RX rounds have so far been completed this season, with CE Dealer Team currently placed second in the teams' standings. Niclas Grönholm is holding second place in the drivers' standings and team-mate Klara Andersson is seventh.
