Toomas Heikkinen leaves EKS ahead of 2018 season

Finnish racing driver Toomas Heikkinen, who has competed in the FIA World Rallycross Championship since its inception in 2014, has stated that he will not join 2016 Teams’ Champions, EKS RX, for a third season in 2018.

“After two brilliant years driving the Audi S1 RX quattro in the FIA World Rallycross Championship, it’s time for me to say goodbye to EKS,” he said.

I want to thank the whole team and especially Mattias [Ekström] for everything over the last two years. We’ve had a lot of fun and some amazing moments. I’m really happy that we both finished on the podium in Germany, in one of my last races with the team. I have made a lot of friends in EKS and wish them all the best for the future.

Now it’s onto the next stage. I’m not yet sure what the future will bring, but I will be able to announce more about my future in January.”

The 26-year-old Finn made his rallycross debut in 2010, contesting a few events on the European championship calendar in a SAAB 9-3 by Per Ek
