Anton Marklund was on his way to success in the European Championship premiere in rallycross in Höljes. A violent crash in the last qualifying heat ruined the weekend. This after a close melee with the Frenchman Jean-Baptista Dubourg. - I had never turned over before. Feels too damn good. Has a little pain in the neck but ok otherwise. Unfortunately, the car is scrap, Anton tells SVT after being taken by ambulance to the track's temporary hospital.
The European champion from 2017 had won the first three qualifying rounds and was definitely the man to beat in the competition.
Anton revealed to SVT yesterday that he will probably only run the competition in Höljes and instead aim for the WC 2022 when the electric cars make their entrance as the main class.
- The guys in the team have done a great job with the car in front of Höljes.
Too bad it would end this way, says Anton Marklund.
The competition is ongoing.
