World RX 2019: Loud in Latvia

Despite this point being in Hansen’s favour - with the Swede having taken the overall win in the weekend’s final by just a couple of seconds - the two drivers are so closely matched in performance that a truly edge-of-the-seat finale now awaits in Cape Town on the 9th and 10th of November.

While team mate and fellow Monster Energy RX Cartel driver Liam Doran finished 6th in the Latvian event’s final. Just after the podium, Andreas told us: “It’s been a super tense weekend here in Riga, Coming here with just two points between myself and Timmy, and now leaving with an even smaller margin between us shows how stable both of us are competing at the top of the field. It’s difficult to think about Cape Town right now, because we have to process what we have achieved this weekend, under constantly changing conditions. One thing is for sure though - we are going to be ready for a fight in South Africa… bring it on!”
