Hansen Motorsport, rallycross championship team for over 30 years, and SKF have formed an alliance for the 2024 FIA World Rallycross Championship. SKF will supply wheel bearings for the Hansen World RX Team’s race cars in the World RX championship.
This year, World RX is re-introducing RX1 combustion cars running on sustainable fuels that will run against the all-electric race cars that were introduced to the grid two years ago, SKF said. As 2019 World RX Drivers’ Champion Timmy Hansen and 2023 World RX runner-up Kevin Hansen push their all-electric Peugeot 208 RX1e cars to the limit, the Hansen Motorsport World RX Team will rely on SKF bearings to minimize friction and maximize performance as the they pursue the World RX title.
The 2024 World RX schedule features five double-header events, with the campaign kicking off in Höljes, Sweden (July 6-7). Following the ‘Magic Weekend’ season-opener, the championship heads to Hungary where the drivers will take on Nyirád’s ‘Red Cauldron.’ Two well-known World RX venues follow in Mettet, Belgium and Montalegre in Portugal, ahead of an exciting season finale as the series heads overseas to Australia.
