FIA World RX 2018, Montalegre
Mattias Ekström, Andreas Bakkerud

A new challenge for Andreas Bakkerud and Mattias Ekström: Before round two of the FIA World Rallycross Championship (World RX) in Portugal, the two drivers from EKS Audi Sport demonstrated their artistic talent. On the start-finish straight at Montalegre, the two Audi drivers painted their Audi S1 EKS RX quattro on traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles – under time pressure. Although the rallycross stars only had four minutes for their artwork, the results were quite remarkable. “It’s exciting to see the differences in how various cultures paint pictures,” said Ekström. “I’m a little proud of my picture. I think you can tell what it’s supposed to show.”
