Oliver Eriksson gets the job done in Valkenswaard

Already leading the standings after qualifying with 137 points, Oliver Eriksson converted his advantage into victory in the Open 4WD final, stopping the clock at 3:14.444. Running in the wake of Niclas Grönholm in the early stages, the OMSE driver ultimately found a way past his Finnish rival to take control.

At the finish, Eriksson secured the win by 0.603 seconds, with Lukas Andersson completing the podium a further 1.099 seconds back.

Despite setting the fastest lap of the final in 37.522, Casper Jansson had to settle for fifth place behind young rookie Emil Naessen, who delivered a solid performance on his debut at this level.

Kevin Eriksson, meanwhile, was forced to retire following an unsuccessful overtaking attempt on Lukas Andersson. Suffering a puncture, the former RallyX champion nonetheless showed promising pace in qualifying, underlining his strong outright speed.

With a perfect tally of 30 points, Oliver Eriksson takes the lead in the overall standings, holding four- and seven-point advantages over Niclas Grönholm and Lukas Andersson respectively.
