Ole Henry Steinsholt sørget for eneste norske seier da RallyX on Ice ble avsluttet på Fuglehaugen på Gol på lørdag. Ole Henry vant Speedcar Extreme.
Det har vært tøffe race i Speedcar Xtreme gjennom vinteren, med blant andre de svenske rallycross-brødrene Timmy og Kevin Hansen til start. Både Alexander Wiik og Finn Eirik Løberg har vist seg som svært stabile i toppen. Men på lørdag var det unge Ole Henry Steinsholt som gikk helt til topps. Alexander Wiik endte på 4. plass og Løberg, som måtte bryte på første runde i finalen, på 6. plass.
Fra arrangørens pressemelding:
In Speedcar Xtreme – for potent 150bhp, 312kg crosskarts – there was similarly a title fight to be settled, as age took on youth in the shape of two-time race-winner Finn Erik Løberg versus 2016 FIA European Rallycross Champion Kevin Hansen. Unfortunately, their battle did not run all the way to the end as the Norwegian became lodged in a snow bank on the opening lap of the final, meaning second place for 19-year-old Hansen was more than sufficient to secure the spoils.
The race was won by home hero Ole Henry Steinsholt, who rocketed into the lead from the second row of the grid at the start and thereafter never looked back. In a tumultuous encounter, Linus Östlund was the only remaining finisher in third, as contact between Timmy Hansen and qualifying king Aleksander Wiik removed both drivers from the reckoning on lap four.
