Hansen Motorsport was founded in 1990 by rallycross legends Kenneth and Susann Hansen, a partnership that combined Kenneth’s unmatched success on track with Susann’s pioneering role as the only woman to win a European rallycross title. Together, they built one of the most successful teams in the history of the sport. Kenneth went on to claim 14 European Rallycross Championship titles, while Susann transitioned from driver to team manager, shaping the organisation’s professional, family-driven culture.

Under their leadership, Hansen Motorsport grew into a global force, earning multiple World Rallycross Championship titles, European titles, X Games gold medals, and becoming the first rallycross team to secure the FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation. Their vision established the team as an innovator both in competition and in sustainable motorsport practices.

The next generation — Timmy and Kevin Hansen — have carried that legacy into the modern era of World RX. Timmy claimed the 2019 FIA World Rallycross Drivers’ Championship, while Kevin became one of the youngest and most successful rising stars in the sport. Together, they have delivered multiple Teams’ Championships and have led the Hansen name into the electric and future-focused phases of rallycross.

Today, Hansen Motorsport remains a family-run operation built on passion, professionalism, and a drive to push rallycross forward — from its grassroots origins to the cutting edge of electric and sustainable racing.

Hansen Motorsport is proud to confirm its entry into the 2025 FIA World Rallycross Championship today (9 May). This year marks over a decade of World RX action for the family-run team, which has entered every season since the inaugural championship in 2014.

Celebrating its 35th anniversary last month, Hansen Motorsport was founded by rallycross legends Kenneth and Susann Hansen. One of the most successful entities in rallycross, the Swedish squad will be pursuing a fourth World RX Teams’ title and a second Drivers’ title in 2025.

Drivers Timmy and Kevin Hansen will be leading the charge for the Hansen World RX Team this year, as the championship enters an exciting new era thanks to direct investment from the FIA.

Under the FIA’s leadership, the 2025 World RX season is set to meet the high expectations of fans around the globe. Embracing a content-first approach, the championship will prioritise free-to-air coverage and digital accessibility. This season also marks the return of the popular time-based qualifying format, favoured by both the fans and World RX teams.

The Hansen World RX Team will continue to run the electric Peugeot 208 cars in the 2025 ‘Battle of Technologies’. This aligns with the team’s proactive approach to sustainability, becoming the first carbon-neutral rallycross outfit without compromising on pace, power, or excitement.

Kenneth Hansen, Team Principal for Hansen World RX Team, said: "We are excited that the FIA are taking over the championship and that we’re sticking with electric this season. With the regulations being adjusted to balance out the difference in performance between the electric and combustion cars, we’re expecting even better racing this year. With the support from Red Bull and all our dedicated sponsors and partners, we’ve got our eyes on that 2025 title."

Emilia Abel, FIA Road Sport Director, added: "We’re delighted to welcome Hansen Motorsport to the 2025 World RX grid. As a founding team, they’ve been integral to the championship from the start, and their return underlines the confidence leading teams have in the FIA’s long term vision for the World RX Championship."
