Nico Müller to make World Rallycross debut in France

By

DTM Audi Sport driver Nico Müller will make his World Rallycross Championship debut at the wheel of an Audi S1, run by Mattias Ekström’s EKS team at the forthcoming event in Lohéac, France, in three weeks’ time.

Müller will be at the wheel of the fourth S1 run by his fellow Team Abt driver, joining Ekström himself, Toomas Heikkinen and Reinis Nitiss.

The Swiss driver has followed the WRX for a couple of seasons, visiting EKS in Barcelona last year and attending several tests to get accustomed to the team’s discipline. “I’m super thankful for the opportunity and I can’t wait for this very big challenge,” said Müller on his official Facebook page.
