It was another 1-2 finish for a Nitro Rallycross Group E team in Saturday’s feature from Grand Prix Trois-Rivieres, but this one was extra sweet for Olsbergs MSE, builders of the First Corner FC1-X that the series uses in its premier class. Brothers Oliver and Kevin Eriksson, the sons of OMSE owner Andreas Eriksson, took the top two spots in the feature, while points leader Robin Larsson of Dreyer & Reinbold Racing took the podium.

It’s been a few years since the sport of rallycross has hit Canada, but Nitro Rallycross is finally bringing it back this Friday and Saturday with a visit to Trois-Rivieres as part of the legendary GP3R. What’s more, after years of rumors, NRX and its bespoke Group E class will be delivering ice racing to North American audiences for the first time.

He might not be leading the Nitro Rallycross Group E standings, but Vermont SportsCar’s Travis Pastrana added a new title to go with his status as the series founder and inaugural Supercar champion over the weekend: its first repeat race winner. Pastrana took top honors in the first leg of the doubleheader at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park on Friday night, while points leader Robin Larsson of Dreyer & Reinbold Racing/JC Raceteknik returned to the top step himself in the Sunday round.

It’s been a little while since the premier class of rallycross has seen a doubleheader round in the United States, but Nitro Rallycross is bringing it back for the first time in more than three years with this weekend’s visit to Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Arizona. With a full event scheduled in for Friday and the typical two-day race format set for Saturday and Sunday, it’ll mark the first time that NRX’s electric Group E class has faced two events over a single weekend.

The first repeat winner in the history of Nitro Rallycross’ Group E class will have to wait at least two more weeks after Sunday’s final at Glen Helen Raceway, as Dreyer & Reinbold Racing driver Fraser McConnell led the second podium sweep for his team of the season with a checkered flag in the six-lap feature. McConnell, points leader Robin Larsson, and Andreas Bakkerud were split by under two seconds as they repeated their feat from Strangnas Motorstadion earlier this summer, albeit with a different winner atop the box.

Nitro Rallycross takes on the second American round of its 2022-23 season, and fourth overall, this weekend with its return to the Los Angeles area and the legendary Glen Helen Raceway. As always, Nitro Rallycross Los Angeles will see many of the sport’s biggest names go wheel-to-wheel over two full days of action, with battle bracket qualifying for the headline Group E electric cars on Saturday, racing on Sunday, and two full rounds for both the NRX Next and SXS classes across the two days. As always, Peacock will carry the action live all weekend long.

Travis Pastrana would qualify third in Group E, win his heat, and shortly after taking the SXS race win, he’d make it two wins in two classes on the day in Nitro Rallycross action from ERX Motor Park.
