ERC: Estering report

RESULTS IN THE EUROPEAN RALLYCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

English driver Richard Hutton won the div.I championship. After Ludvig Hunsbert had jumped 2 starts and was D.Q, Hutton took the lead in the final and won easily.

In div.II Jean-Luc Pailler took the win and finnished 3:rd in the championship. Hansen - already champion - finnished 2:nd before Tommy Kristoffersson. Tommy did a strong comeback after a serious crasch in the final of the Swedish Championship a week ago.

A poor sight was when Martin Schanche refused to shake hand with Hansen at the prize-cerimony after the last event. Schanche said he disliked Hansens hard drivingstyle, and promised to win next year.
