Press release available only in original language. 

The FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy moves to Barcelona this weekend for the World RX of #catalunya, the second round of the series, with expectation hanging heavy in the air.

If the opening round in Abu Dhabi three weeks' ago is any barometer, the action at the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona will be hotly contested.

Events on the Yas Marina track and in the stewards' room conspired to hand a maiden World RX victory to Kevin Hansen in the Team Hansen MJP #peugeot208

That was after two of the leading protagonists – older brother #timmyhansen and #andreasbakkerud in the Monster Energy RX Cartel #audis1 – had a high-speed coming together in Q3. Timmy's Peugeot suffered event-ending damage while Bakkerud was disqualified for his part in the incident.

Timmy's mechanics have worked tirelessly in the time since Abu Dhabi to have the No.21 Peugeot re-built, including repairs to the chassis and reconstructing sections of the roll cage in readiness for Barcelona.

There is spice to the battle between Norway's Bakkerud and the Hansens, as witnessed in the pre-event press conference in Abu Dhabi. That carried over to the race track and is likely to continue this weekend.

The 1.135km rallycross layout at the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona includes turns 11-15 of the Formula One track and comprises a 60-40% split of tarmac and gravel.
