The 2018 RallyX Nordic presented by Cooper Tires season is all set for a grandstand finale at the Tierp Arena with an entry list brimming with high-profile newcomers, returnees and regulars.
With Oliver Solberg, Oliver Eriksson and Thomas Bryntesson preparing to do battle in a three-way Supercar title dice, the fight for overall honours will be exacerbated further by a series of familiar faces making the trip to Tierp in an attempt to upset the order.

After his headline-grabbing run to victory on home soil in the final at Nysum, Ulrik Linnemann is back to continue that winning feeling in Sweden this weekend. This time, however, the Dane swaps his venerable Volkswagen Polo for a Honda Civic in what will be the car’s European competition debut.
Meanwhile, World RX regular Robin Larsson will fire up the Audi A1 in Tierp for his first appearance of the season, while Lukas Walfridson in the Helmia Motorsport Renault Clio and Philip Gehrman in the Eklund Motorsport VW Beetle are back to attempt a repeat of their podium winning exploits from earlier in the season.
In all, 14 Supercars will strive for victory, including regular front runners Peter Hedstrom and Daniel Thoren (Hedstroms Motorsport VW Polo), Ola Froshaug (JC Raceteknik) and Andreas Carlsson (AC RX), plus Ole Kristian Temte, Mats Ohman and Crister Dalmans.
