Finnish driver and FIA World Rallycross veteranย Toomas Heikkinen has stated that he will not join the 2016 Champions EKS RX for a third season running for the 2018 season.
โAfter two brilliant years driving the Audi S1 RX quattro in the FIA World Rallycross Championship, itโs time for me to say goodbye to EKS,โ he said.
I want to thank the whole team and especially Mattias [Ekstrรถm] for everything over the last two years. Weโve had a lot of fun and some amazing moments. Iโm 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 itโs onto the next stage. Iโm not yet sure what the future will bring, but I will be able to announce more about my future in January.โ
