Larsson lands RallyX Americas ride with DRR JC

Robin Larsson will continue his U.S. rallycross journey in RallyX Americas with DRR JC. 

The Swede won the two full seasons of Nitrocross' 'Group E' category for the 1,000 horsepower all-electric FC1 car and was leading the standings when the 2024-25 season was curtailed. 

With eight round victories (and 18 podiums from 23 starts), no other driver has won more in the FC1, and he'll be looking to add to that tally in the new RallyX Americas 'Hypercar' category.

“I’m really looking forward to go racing again, especially in the USA,” said Larsson. “Everything was settled really late and I haven’t even been thinking about the racing and competition that much, but of course I will when the helmet comes on – it is full focus.”

Larsson joins a lineup that so far includes Jimmy Henderson for Olsbergs MSE, Timmy Hansen for Hansen Motorsport, and Tommi Hallman for SET Promotion, and reunites him with the same JC Raceteknick and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing partnership that has delivered him much success in recent years.

“Robin has been so good in the FC1, he just understood the car in a way that was very impressive,” said JC Raceteknik team principal Joel Christoffersson. “He has been quite a long time out of the seat now, even if he has done some folkracing here in Sweden, but I also don’t think it will take him long to find the feeling again. 

“He is a very different driver to the one we first started working with in 2019, and I am very excited to get back racing together again, especially on a new challenge in RallyX Americas.”

RallyX Americas is the latest rebirth for the rallycross discipline in the U.S. following Rally America’s four-round 2010 competition, Global Rallycross (which incorporated X Games events), Americas Rallycross, and Nitrocross. The season will kick off at Crandon on June 20-21, and Larson is hopeful the series can grow to give rallycross a solid future Stateside.

“We want to make the series and racing look good so we can hopefully build something for the future,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to Crandon; the track, atmosphere and to see the Pro 4 cars, that’s a real bucket list car for me to drive and it will be fun to be in the same event as them.”
