Swedish talents Reiersen and Grahn get ERC gravel adventure
Emerging Swedish talents Adam Grahn and Isak Reiersen will contest the next three rounds of the FIA European Rally Championship with JC Raceteknik, a race-winning FIA World Rallycross outfit.
While both have previous ERC experience, their participation on the gravel-based VI Rally Hungary (9 - 11 May), BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia (29 - 31 May) and ORLEN OIL Rally Poland (13 - 15 June) provides them with an expanded programme of events for the first time.
Reiersen, 21, a childhood friend of Oliver Solberg, will compete in a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 alongside co-driver Stefan Gustavsson with Christoffer Bäck co-driving 19-year-old Grahn in a Ford Fiesta Rally3.
“It’s going to be an intensive few weeks for Isak and Adam in these three ERC rounds, but as they are both working hard to progress up the rallying ladder, and doing very well at that I have to say, it is a brilliant opportunity for them both,” said Joel Christoffersson, team principal of JC Raceteknik. “We will work hard to give them the best opportunities we can as usual. I have been impressed with the maturity they have both shown this season so far.

“Rallying isn’t only about setting the fastest pace, it’s about the whole package and that is why we’re doing these events. Yes, we want to be fast, but they also both need to continue their learning about managing the car, the tyres and the events too. We can’t wait to get started in Hungary.”
Reiersen, who began his competition career in rallycross, won the Junior ERC category on BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia in 2023. Grahn finished 10th in Junior ERC on Delfi Rally Estonia last season, two years after he started competing.
With success in circuit racing and rallying, Swedish team JC Raceteknik has claimed numerous accolades in the FIA World Rallycross Championship, FIA European Rallycross Championship, RallyX Nordic and Nitro Rallycross in America.
