Congratulations to the Uspenskiy Rally Tecnica team and Patrik Flodin on their victory at this year’s Wales Rally GB! As has been proved in past events, it wasn’t an easy victory. But Flodin and co-driver Goran Bergsten pulled through with an amazing race to the finish.

“Flodin, from Sweden, feared his chances of winning the category were over when his Subaru Impreza suffered a front puncture one kilometre from the finish of the penultimate stage, which he completed with an advantage of 2.3s over Kosciuszko.

Despite the Pole going faster than him on the event-closing Power Stage in his Mitsubishi Lancer, Flodin did just enough to secure victory, albeit by a slender margin of 2.0s.

“We were really struggling yesterday with the driving on Tarmac,” said Flodin. “Last night we reset everything and tried to do our best today and the driving was working better. We tried to go a bit smoother, braking earlier and really focus on the exit of the corner. I saw in the fast sections we were faster than him and we could see that on the split times. Without the puncture it could have been quite safe. We did just enough.””

We’re definitely proud of their victory and for their continued support for TEIN!
