Don’t let the trademark smile fool you. Once the visor drops, Andreas Bakkerud is one of the most aggressive and spectacular drivers in rallycross. The Norwegian has been part of the Monster Energy family throughout some of the biggest chapters of his career, from racing alongside Ken Block at Hoonigan to leading the charge for the legendary Monster Energy RX Cartel. A three-time European champion, seven-time World RX winner and 2019 World Championship runner-up, Bakkerud has won in everything from 600-horsepower Supercars to 1,000-horsepower electric machines. Known for lightning starts, huge commitment and even bigger celebrations, Bakkerud remains a fan favourite - and in 2026, he is back fighting at the front of Euro RX once again.
