So here it is, the moment you’ve all been waitin

So here it is, the moment you’ve all been waiting for – where we reveal who you voted as ‘top dog’ in our #RX2 Fan Poll, out of the 58 drivers that have competed in the series over the past four years…

1st: @cyrilraymond13

Cyril Raymond entered the inaugural season of RX2 back in 2017 as the defending champion, having conquered the RX Lites crown the previous year. The @olsbergsmse ace swiftly made it very apparent that he had no intention of giving his title up, going on a spectacular winning streak that saw him triumph six times from seven starts. In the only event he did not win – at Höljes in the summer – he was leading until he picked up a puncture, and he went on to wrap up the laurels one round early, practically unheard of in such a fiercely-fought single-make series. The Frenchman has since gone on to race in Euro RX, @fiaworldrx and Projekt E, as he continues to stake his claim as one of the discipline’s leading lights.

2nd: @jessekallio47

Jesse Kallio has one of the best podiums-to-starts ratios in RX2, boasting an impressive 78% strike rate. Debuting with @olsbergsmse in 2019, the Finn immediately served signal of his intent by reaching the rostrum first time out in Barcelona – and he would repeat the feat at each of the following four events. It was only a luckless end to the season in Cape Town – where he was plagued by persistent electrical issues – that cost him second in the standings in his maiden campaign. Returning in 2020, Kallio once again claimed third in the title table – despite racing through the pain barrier in Denmark with an injured wrist.

Best Championship Finish: 3rd

3rd: @henrik_krogstad

Henrik Krogstad joined RX2 in 2018, and the Norwegian made an instant impression by reaching the rostrum on his debut at Mettet with JC Raceteknik. He would go on to establish himself as Olsbergs MSE duo Oliver Eriksson and Guillaume De Ridder’s closest competitor, and looked set to break his duck at Lohéac later on in the campaign until a small error exiting the joker on the final lap sent him into a spin. Following a season on the sidelines, Krogstad returned to the series for its one-off showdown this year with @yellowsquadrx, completing his road to redemption by clinching the coveted crown in a fiercely high-calibre field at Nysum in Denmark – with it, securing the accompanying @rx2eofficial prize drive.

4th: @vasiliy_gryazin

A man with more RX2 starts under his belt than most, Vasiliy Gryazin was a permanent fixture in the official @fiaworldrx feeder series between 2017 and 2019. A consistent contender right from the outset with @sportsracingtechnologies, the Latvian achieved a podium finish in each of his three seasons as he adapted his rallying-honed skills to rallycross. Since departing RX2 just over a year ago, Gryazin has gone on to reignite his passion for his first love of rallying – with considerable success.

5th: @olivereriksson16

Oliver Eriksson arrived in RX2 with an impressive reputation – and swiftly lived up to it. Eight wins and ten podium finishes from 14 starts is quite a record by any standards, particularly in such a fiercely-contested single-make series. Competing for @olsbergsmse, the Red Bull-backed Swede got the better of team-mate Guillaume De Ridder for the 2018 title, before doubling up with an even more commanding performance the following season. Since then, Eriksson has gone on to clinch the coveted #RallyXNordic Supercar class crown and took a clean sweep of victories in Euro RX this year.

Starts: 14
Titles: 2
Best Championship Finish: 1st
Wins: 8
Podiums: 10
Career Points: 368

Next up in our #RX2 Fan Poll Top Ten Countdown is a man who contested two full seasons in the series before returning in fine style in this year’s Danish double-header at Nysum…

6th: @guillaumederidder

Guillaume De Ridder is one of the most successful drivers in RX2 history, with three victories and nine podiums to his credit from 16 starts. From a rallying background, the Belgian did not take long to adapt when he joined the series in 2017 – and three rostrum finishes fired him to third in the standings at the end of his rookie campaign. The following year produced a full-on title assault as De Ridder won twice and challenged @olsbergsmse team-mate Oliver Eriksson throughout. After a season in @fiaworldrx with the GCK Academy, the 27-year-old returned to RX2 at Nysum this year and instantly blew away the cobwebs with a spectacular comeback triumph.

Starts: 16
Titles: 0
Best Championship Finish: 2nd
Wins: 3

Career Points: 347

7th: @frasermcconnell

Fraser McConnell arrived in RX2 with a bang in 2019. His sensational round-the-outside overtake on @olsbergsmse team-mate Jesse Kallio in Barcelona rapidly went viral, as the Jamaican introduced @fiaworldrx fans to his trademark all-out, leave-nothing-on-the-table style. That effort secured McConnell second place on his debut – a result he would repeat in the South African finale half-a-year later. In-between, there were plenty more crowd-pleasing moments as the series’ showman established himself as an undisputed front-runner – securing a legion of loyal supporters along the way.
