Ekström returns to WRC at Arctic Rally
We left them under the Saudi Arabian sun, at the finish of a Dakar 2021 experienced with difficulty in a modified SSV. The Swedes Mattias Ekström and Emil Bergkvist will do it again, this time in the polar cold of Finland.
After a 15-year wait I feel it's time for the WRC COMEBACK!
See you at Arctic Rally Finland!

The crew will be entered at Arctic Rally Finland (February 26-28) aboard a Skoda Fabia Evo Rally2 in the WRC 3 class for the EKS JC team. For the World Champion of rallycross 2016 is a return to his roots, because his penultimate participation in a round of the World Cup rally goes back to Swedish ice in 2006… with a Skoda Fabia!
“For 2021, I signed up for Extreme E (with Cupra ABT) and this new discipline requires varied knowledge and driving skills on different types of terrain, explains the double champion of DTM. This Arctic Rally Finland is the ideal event to maintain physical condition and drive hundreds of kilometers on snow and ice. »
Two days of testing are planned for the former track rider, who has no illusions despite his extensive track record. “I'm going to roll up my sleeves against the regulars in the discipline, even if I know that they have incomparable riding time. »
