In 2015 Tommy Rustad will compete on all five Euro RX rounds (Belgium, Germany, Norway, Spain and Italy) and also on the World Rallycross event in Holjes, Sweden, in July.

Tommy Rustad has a strong track record in motorsport – and not only in rallycross. He has competed in several international series such as the British Touring Car Championship, Swedish Touring Car Championship and World Touring Car Championship.

”I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity Marklund Motorsport and HTB Racing has given me to have even greater opportunities for success in the European Championship,” said Rustad. ”Marklund Motorsport is one of the most professional teams in rallycross and they have helped to develop the VW Polo RX Supercar into a winning machine. Personally, this is my biggest rallycross commitment so far and I’m looking forward to testing the car and working together with Anton Marklund and Toomas Heikkinen.”

Jan Marklund, Marklund Motorsport team principal, commented: ”We are absolutely delighted with this opportunity to offer the Volkswagen Polo RX Supercar to Tommy Rustad for the European series. Tommy is a very fast and experienced race driver. With our Volkswagen Polo RX he will be a top contender for the coveted Euro RX title next year. His presence will also boost our team and drivers – Anton and Topi – to go even faster in their World Rallycross Championship campaign.”
