Christer Andersson dominates Rebellion Race

Christer Andersson has completed the perfect event, having won this weekend’s Rebellion Race in Finland from pole position. The Team Associated driver had to wait till the 3rd and final leg to seal the win having taken victory in the first leg, but using old tires in Leg 2 he couldn’t hold off Marc Rheinard who went on to take the leg win, to set up a title fight in the final leg. The first leg saw Alexander Hagberg roll it after 2 minutes but he would recover to 3rd, while Marc could catch Christer but made a mistake close to the end and had to settle for 2nd. In leg 2 with Christer on old tires, he had to settle for 2nd while Marc would win after passing Hagberg for 2nd following a small mistake from the Xray driver. The Swede would recover to take 3rd. In the final deciding leg, Andersson was back on fresh Xenon rubber and could pull away to win easily, while both Marc and Alex both made a mistake, the former having to park up, giving Viktor Wilck the 2nd spot ahead of Teemu Leino. Overall it was Christer taking his first international win, just days after his 18th birthday, with World Champion Marc Rheinard taking 2nd and Alexander Hagberg in 3rd spot. Sakke Ahoniemi took the win in the B-main.
