EKS Sport have today announced that Hungarian Krisztian Szabo will compete as a permanent driver in the 2019 FIA World #rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy.

Former World Champions EKS Sport finished second in the 2018 Teams' World Championship standings and will continue with their signature Audi S1 EKS RX Quattro.

After making his European debut at the end of the 2014 season in Italy, Szabo finished a strong third in the 2015 FIA European #rallycross Championship for Super1600 before sealing the European title twice consecutively in 2016 and 2017.

The Hungarian made an impressive debut for EKS Sport at the Euro RX of France in the Supercar category, #racing to second place and subsequently reaching the Final on his second outing with the team in Latvia.

Szabo views 2019 as a "now or never" opportunity. He said: "Since the beginning of my career, I have been dreaming about #racing in the World Championship. Mattias Ekstrom announced last year that he will stop #racing in 2019, which means he has more time to focus on managing the EKS Sport team.
