Hallman Becomes Fifth Different iRX World Championship Winner of 2020 in Hell

Fans looking for a repeat winner in the iRacing Rallycross World Championship presented by Yokohama will have to wait at least a week longer.

SET Esports’ Tommi Hallman had been knocking on the door of a victory all season, with multiple podium performances setting him up for a solid points finish at the end of the season. But the Finn finally broke through for that first career win on Saturday when he took the checkered flag at Hell Lankebanen, crossing the finish line with a sizable advantage over Subaru Motorsports USA’s Mitchell deJong.

As drivers adjusted to different track surfaces from the season opener at the same track in September, many drivers fell victim to rough-and-tumble driving in the quest to pare the field down to 10 cars in the final. But Hallman checked out quickly in the main event, and any hopes of deJong improving on his second place finish in the first Hell round fell apart during a spirited battle with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing’s Garrett Manes, who had his best performance of the year. Only Hell I winner Ilari Lamminsivu of CR22 Motorsports could stand in the way of Manes scoring his first podium of the season, earning his first top-three finish since scoring the surprise victory in his first career iRX start.
