PSRX Volkswagen driver Johan Kristoffersson edged closer to a second World Rallycross title in a row with another dominant performance in Latvia, his eighth win of the season.

At the circuit where he claimed his first World Rallycross Championship title in 2017, Kristoffersson held off a fast-starting Mattias Ekstrom at the start of his semifinal to take the lead at Turn 1, and secure a victory that netted pole position for the final.

In the final, Kristoffersson beat fellow front-row starter and nine-time World Rally champion Sebastien Loeb into the first turn in the final and, after setting the fastest lap of the race on the first tour, led throughout to score his eighth win of the season.
