Bakkerud takes the win as Jordan is top Brit at Lydden
Andreas Bakkerud won the inaugural AUTOSPORT World RX after a thrilling Supercar final in front of a huge bank holiday crowd of more than 10,000 at Lydden Hill in Kent.
With victory, the 23-year-old Norwegian made motor sport history as the first ever winner of a round of the new FIA World Rallycross Championship staged on British soil. Rallycross’ graduation to world championship status comes nearly 50 years after the spectacular hybrid sport which mixes the best of racing and rallying was born at Lydden in 1967.
