A rallycross competitor since the age of 15, Andreas Bakkeurd has long been a fan favorite on both sides of the pond, but beneath his friendly exterior is a lethal competitor.

A three-time European Rallycross champion (twice in S1600 and once in Supercars) and seven-time winner in World RX, he also has two event wins and nine podiums in Nitrocross. He’s also had top-three results in sports car racing, as if his off-road record wasn’t enough.

Bakkerud’s always a threat, but after two seasons of watching Larsson bring titles to the other side of the RX Cartel garage, he’ll be looking to bag the Ken Block championship trophy this time around – a trophy named after Bakkerud’s former mentor and teammate.

Major achievements: 2022-23 Nitrocross runner-up, 2019 World RX runner-up, 2021 European Rallycross champion, 2011 and 2012 Euro RX S1600 champion
