With just a handful of weeks until the 2024 World RX season kicks off, here’s a quick rundown of the Hansen World RX Team.
Sticking To Electric
The Hansen World RX Team will continue to use the electric Peugeot 208s they used last season and the year before. If any updates have been made to the car they are still unknown as the team has yet to show the 2024 car or livery. However, a full car reveal should be done in a matter of weeks. As the 2024 World RX season kicks off July 6th and 7th with the World RX Of Sweden in Holjes. The cars haven’t been used in actual competition since the World RX of Sweden last year. They were supposed to be used all season long but a fire involving another team’s cars put an end to that plan.
The Drivers
Kevin Hansen
The reigning World RX Vice-Champion will once again be a part of the Hansen World RX Team. Kevin, who was one of only three drivers to win a round last season. Will be looking to be more of a threat to Johan Kristoffersson this season. To do so he will need to be at the top of his game all season long. It will also depend on how much better or worse the electric cars are compared to the ICE cars. As Kristoffersson’s team will be using ICE cars for the 2024 season. The 26-year-old has started 74 World RX rounds, winning only 3 of those events and finishing on the podium 21 times.
Timmy Hansen
The second half of the Hansen brothers. The former World RX Champion didn’t have the greatest 2023 season. As Timmy only finished on the podium once, which was at his home event in Sweden where he finished second. This is unusual for the 32-year-old who has 13 wins and 45 podiums in 105 World RX rounds started. Timmy will likely be looking to have a significantly better 2024 season.
