Shared joy is double joy, it is said.
The Hansen brothers, as many times before, got to celebrate together on the medal podium after tonight's decisive supercar final in American Utah, the first part of the Nitro Series for the season.
"Many thanks to my team who made this possible after the crash last Friday.
What a fantastic start to the rallycross season, ”timmy Hansen tweeted after the race.
The opposition was anything but bad: both Travis Patrana, Tanner Foust and Scoot Speed were on the starting line.
Oliver Eriksson broke the final
But three drivers broke the final race, including the above-mentioned Tanner Foust, but also Swedish Oliver Eriksson and Norwegian Andreas Bakkerud.
Timmy Hansen was close to throwing in the towel at an early stage due to technical problems with the oil, but kept a cool head and won the final by a margin of almost six seconds to second-placed Canadian Steve Arpin.
Little brother Kevin Hansen in third place was just over 11 seconds behind Timmy and the brothers were seen hugging each other and celebrating immediately after the race.
