L-Sound sponsor in the European Rallycross Championship 2009
If you pay attention this weekend you will be able to see our logo moving along at an unprecedented break neck speed, followed by the sound of roaring engines, screeching rubber and an enthusiastic crowd! We are keeping our fingers crossed, hoping that the car with our logo is the one you’ll see in front of the chasing pack, headed into the first turn.
Chances that the car in the lead is the one plastered with L-Sound logos are more than fair, because behind the wheel of the red Citroen you’ll not find anyone of us, or someone else incapable, but Per Niklas Lööv who last year won several races, and in the end came 3rd in the European Rallycross Championship. Per Niklas is Swedish, but has been living in Norway since 1998, and here he is L-Sounds closest neighbor.
For a long time it looked like Per Niklas because of lack of sponsorships would miss the 2009 season, but we really felt like helping our neighbor, and again see him at the top of the podium. We are therefore extremely glad to announce that we were able to lend this winning and sympathetic representative for our brother folk, a helping hand. Per Niklas now once again has the chance to show the rest of the European elite in the ERC who is boss, and the debut for his season is this weekend.
We will follow Per Niklas through the entire season, and keep you updated on our webpage.

Updates
So far Per Niklas has been rewarded with two splendid 3rd places, and even though the car has not been working optimally, he has shown that the potential to win is there. Read more about it here (registration required)
The next race is on home turf in sweden, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that Per Niklas will get his car working optimally so that he can take his first victory this year, in front of his home audience.
Per Niklas almost claimed the vicory in Sweden, but after a weekend with some engine troubles we are more than pleased with his great 2nd place. In addition, he won the hearts and minds of his home crowd with some spectacular driving!
