Kristoffersson Cuts Through Snow, Makes It Two In A Row
Johan Kristoffersson defeated the field and dense snow flurries to win his second consecutive World Rallycross Championship at Montalegre.
Johan Kristoffersson defeated the field and dense snow flurries to win his second consecutive World Rallycross Championship at Montalegre on Sunday in northern Portugal.
Kristoffersson took the lead from the front row, which bought him some slightly less disrupted vision. His lead was healthy enough to retain the advantage after he took his joker lap on lap five.
Two years ago we started this journey.
