Kristoffersson Cuts Through Snow, Makes It Two In A Row

Johan Kristoffersson defeated the field and dense snow flurries to win his second consecutive World Rallycross Championship at Montalegre on Sunday in northern Portugal. 

Kristoffersson took the lead from the front row, which bought him some slightly less disrupted vision. His lead was healthy enough to retain the advantage after he took his joker lap on lap five. 

The win was Kristoffersson's ninth in his past 10 events.

Sebastian Loeb and Petter Solberg finished second and third, respectively, to complete the podium.

The World Rallycross Championship will resume at the Coyote World RX of Belgium on May 12-13.
