Timmy Hansen, the 2019 FIA World Rallycross Champion, will return to World RX once more in 2021 with Hansen World RX Team, lining up in a Peugeot 208 WRX. The addition of Timmy to the Hansen World RX Team line-up keeps in place a successful pairing between himself and younger brother Kevin for a fifth consecutive season. Together the pair won the 2019 World RX Teams’ Championship and Timmy secured a first World RX Drivers’ Championship title. Continuing this partnership puts Hansen World RX Team in the best position possible to win races again in 2021. Timmy will compete in World RX alongside his duties in the Extreme E championship with Andretti United XE this year, and remains a crucial member of the Hansen World RX Team.   Timmy Hansen, Driver, Hansen World RX Team: “In the last few years since we’ve become a fully independent family team, being on the grid has never been a given each season. I’m very grateful I have the opportunity to come back and compete again this year. “I love rallycross and it’s always been part of my life, and it still is in a very big way. We run the family team every day and our involvement with rallycross goes back decades. It’s in my blood since I was born so I’ll always want to compete here. “Even though this will be my eighth consecutive season in World RX now, I’m as motivated as ever to write a new story this year: will we compete for the title, who will be fast this year, and how will we stack up? “We’ve been working really hard ourselves and the car feels much better starting in 2021 than it did in 2020. All the great ideas and talented people working with us have made a big difference, even as a small team that’s improving step-by-step. We might have a good shot at competing for the title this year, but let’s see how it goes!”   Kenneth Hansen, Team Principal, Hansen World RX Team: “Timmy is a world-class driver – and a world champion in rallycross, of course – so we are very happy to be in a position to keep him with us again in 2021. Having him alongside Kevin to continue the strongest driver pairing in World RX was always our target. “He is giving himself new experiences and new challenges with his Extreme E campaign, and we know this new adventure is very important to him. We are lucky that he is able to do both that and also World Rallycross, as he makes such a big difference to our team. It’s also great that we have two drivers who know our car inside and out, and that Timmy can continue the momentum he had in the second half of last season.”
