Timmy Hansen takes victory at Silverstone

Timmy Hansen (Peugeot 208 WRX) scored its second victory of the season by winning the final at Silverstone (Great Britain). The resident of Team Hansen MJP quickly placed himself in contention for victory by winning the first two qualifying heats. His success in the semi-final allowed him to start from the best place in the final where he won ahead of Andreas Bakkerud (Audi S1), winner of the second semi-final, while Anton Marklund (Renault Mégane RS RX) completed the podium.

The GC Kompetition resident preceded Timo Scheider (Seat Ibiza). The Audi S1s of Krisztian Szabo and Liam Doran completed the final race standings. Kevin Hansen (Peugeot 208 WRX) loses the championship lead to his victorious brother by 4 points. The younger brother of the Swedish family failed in the semi-finals after hitting the wall on the last lap.

Joni Wiman (Hyundai i20) had a new chance to aim for the podium after his remarkable debut at Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), but the Finn rolled over. The accident forced the marshals to display the red flag.
