Tanner Foust takes first victory in European RallyCross Championship...

[eRic]

Mountune Racing powers OMSE drivers to team 1-2!

After a perfectly executed final, Tanner Foust and Andréas Eriksson finished first and second.


Tanner was quickest off the start and with the exception of one lap lead the whole race with his clinical driving leading to a well-deserved podium and his first win in the series. Andreas had a much longer route to his second place as he was last after the first lap, and had to work his way through the pack; “My tires got better and better, in the end it was no problem” Andreas enthuses.

Congratulations to Tanner, Andréas and all at Olsberg MSE.

Sweet!

Cool! He's the least annoying of the three on TopGear US. Only because he can actually drive/test a car. He is still fairly obnoxious. Glad for him to have success though, especially with his $500k Fiesta!

That's great, honestly Tanner has gotten better and better every episode on TGUS.

He's getting more relaxed and seems to be having fun and letting loose more.

Tanner is the only one that I have any real respect for on TPUS.

They attempted to get a strong opinioned person in to be the clarkson... Hes just a fat loud jersey guy with no real car knowledge... and rutledge is just a backwoods comedian. So, hes entertaining, but knows nothing about cars.

This is really good stuff and after the fastest lap in the hands of the Stig on Top Gear it's a real kick to see this Fiesta 1-2.

As for Top Gear (US), that episode with Tanner doing so much driving and the two features with the Fiesta was the best episode to date. The car bashing that goes on in nearly episode (ruins it IMO) was refreshingly absent for a change.

One can debate NASCAR being a sport, but He's quite knowledgeable in regards to it. Foust is tolerable, liked him better than Paul Tracy...
