Nicolas is taking part in the French Rallycross championship, and the FIA European Rallycross championship this year, representing Antigua.
Fia World/ European Rallycross Championship: Holjes, Sweden.
Day 1: Nicolas Geleyns turned heads with a bold Q1 drive. The Antiguan youngster was rapid from the oL, hugging the drier lines and holding oL heavy pressure from Dominik Senegacnik to take a heat win and go fourth overall.
Q2 proved trickier, but his earlier eLort left him in a solid fourth position at the days end with 80 points on the board.
Day 2: In his semi final, Nicolas set the best lap time, and best joker lap time.
In the final, the treacherous track delivered the kind of wheel-to-wheel drama Höljes is known for, with Nicolas Geleyns, Dominik Senegacnik, and Libor Teješ locked in a furious scrap for the podium.
Nicolas impressed early, using wide, drier lines to gain ground, and despite a wild last-lap slide nearly costing him, he defended brilliantly t o take second.
Runner-up Nicolas Geleyns commented: “Finishing P2 at Höljes is amazing, I’m so happy! Just a year ago I was racing in Europe for the first time, so to be on the podium here already feels surreal.
It was a tough weekend with the weather and track conditions, which makes this result even sweeter.
Massive thanks to the team, to everyone who made this possible, and to all the fans around the world, especially those cheering me on from Antigua!”
