JC RACETEKNIK
RALLYCROSS
WE FEEL THE NEED…FOR SPEED!
Blåkläder has deep roots in the world of motorsport, and ever since we started sponsoring Robin Larsson – a Swedish supercar driver from the city of Svenljunga, where our head office is located – the commitment has grown even more.
Blåkläder’s collaboration with JC Raceteknik will continue in 2022, and this year, we are aiming for the Nitro Rallycross Championships and RallyX Nordic.
With Robin Larsson and Andreas Bakkerud as the main characters, the fight for the title in Nitro rallycross continues, and they have the strong team JC Raceteknik by their side.
ROBIN LARSSON
The battle to be the first to cross the finish line is fierce in rallycross. On some stretches, Robin Larsson reaches speeds of about 180 kilometres per hour. On the track, his competitive drive runs from his head down to his toes, and being hit by another driver makes him see red.
Robin Larsson grew up in the rallycross paddock with his father’s team and started his motorsport career in folk race when he was 15. He then moved to TouringCars in the FIA European Rallycross Championship, finishing fourth after a part season in 2012 and runner-up in 2013. The following year, Larsson stepped up to the headline Supercar category and won the FIA European Rallycross Championship. He finished on the podium twice.
In 2015, Larsson embarked on his first full-time World Championship campaign, finishing the season in style by becoming Euro RX Supercar Champion and getting a World RX victory in Argentina in 2016. Robin then became champion in both Euro RX and RallyX Nordic with JC Racetenik in 2019 and topped that with a Team World Championship 2020 with KYB Team JC.
The best thing about driving?
The best thing about driving is that you really need to push yourself, the adrenaline, and compete!
What is your greatest passion for the sport?
Because it’s fun, and enjoy it with family and friends, win and lose together!
How long have you been driving?
Started driving cars at 14, then climbed up in different classes, supercar since 2014!
Was it a dream as a kid to be a rallycross driver?
I suppose the dream grew more and more when I was younger and watched my dad and everybody else during the races, but I don’t think I had the dream to race in the supercar division, just to race cars!
What is your next goal?
The next goal is to be competitive here in Nitro Rallycross!
“It’s fun to be able to compete with the best drivers. But, it’s really tough to keep up with the best of the best. Your performance has to be as consistent as possible throughout the entire season. You can’t make any major mistakes.”
