The best young WRC drivers: Emil BergkviststeemCreated with Sketch.

Hi, Steemers!


Young Swede Bergkvist is one of the fastest drivers around but without real chance, at least for now.
He was works Opel driver in their very fast rocket pocket Adam R2 car. He also became Junior Champ in European Rally Championship (R2 cars, front wheel drive, around 190bhp, 1.6l engine, sequential gearbox).
After he won Junior EWRC title, he started looking for real drive in World Rally Championship.
Some rich gentleman driver from Belgium (Greek living in Belgium) gave him a chance to drive his own Citroen DS3 R5 car in several rounds of WRC and in WRC2 category.
Problem is reliability of Citroen R5 cars (I wrote about this in one of my previous posts) so he had many retirements and problems which result with bad final results.
Bergkvist can't be happy with this but he must be happy because he is still in the game. And we all know it's all about money (and health) in motorsport. I know it the best.
What will future bring for this young gun, it's hard to know. He needs works support and he doesn't have it for now in WRC.
