Björk Is World Champion
Björk Is World Champion-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:17

Swedish racing driver Thed Björk—who is probably not related to that great Icelandic paragon of musical weirdness Björk Guðmundsdóttir, but whatever—is your new World Touring Car Champion. Yes, there is a racing driver who shares a name with our muse—and he’s a winner.

Björk is the first Swede to ever win a WTCC title. He finished fifth in the season finale at Losail International Circuit, but that was enough to clinch the championship with 28.5 points more than the next competitor, Norbert Michelisz. Björk’s Polestar Cyan Racing team also clinched the manufacturers’ WTCC title there.

Polestar Cyan Racing also is near and dear to Jalopnik’s heart by racing kick-ass More Swedish luxury race cars, please.

My only hope is that the musical Björk also notices this somehow, because why not? Björk (err, Thed Björk) is world champion, everybody! Don your best and celebrate!

Watch A Formula E Car Pop A Wheelie On Impact
Today’s Formula E Mexico City ePrix lost all semblance of chill towards the end of the race. One of several attempts to fight for position didn’t end well for the two Mahindra cars, littering the turn in Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez’s old baseball stadium with debris with two laps to go....

Lotus Sent An April Fools' Press Release About Race Helmets For Cats And I'll Take Three
Lotus Sent An April Fools' Press Release About Race Helmets For Cats And I'll Take Three
Alright, Lotus. Did you really think you could get away with this? Not the joke, obviously—any journalist knows a press release for April 1 is meant for trickery. But did you really think you could get away with releasing photos of cats in cute race helmets for April Fools’ Day...

NASCAR Driver Wrecks Into A Spin And Then Gets Wrecked Back Out Of It
NASCAR Driver Wrecks Into A Spin And Then Gets Wrecked Back Out Of It
When a NASCAR driver goes into a spin, especially at a race track as short as Martinsville Speedway, there usually isn’t much that can be done about it—the vehicle is either going to hit a wall or another vehicle. But when Chase Briscoe went around on Saturday, another driver actually...

Formula One Will Give Us The Louder Engines We Demanded
Formula One Will Give Us The Louder Engines We Demanded
The Americans are in control of Formula One now, and so the powers-that-be heard y’all think F1 engines are . The fact (yes, fact) that internal combustion racing engines should be God’s gift to eardrums might as well be in the fine print of our own Bill of Rights, and...

We're So Glad They Don't Bleep French On Television [Update: Or English, Either]
Renault e.dams Formula E driver Sébastien Buemi had a miserable race today. After having the first three Formula E races in a row, he wasn’t anywhere near the lead of the Mexico City ePrix. Apparently this was, to translate directly from the French “merde” spoken on Buemi’s team radio: “shit.”...

The Formula E Driver Who Never Gets A FanBoost Is The One Who Deserves It The Most
The Formula E Driver Who Never Gets A FanBoost Is The One Who Deserves It The Most
FanBoost—where fans vote to give a driver an additional boost of power to use during an FIA Formula E Championship race—sets off no small amount of rage from purists who feel as if it’s a gimmick. However, drivers I’ve spoken with at this weekend’s Formula E race don’t seem to...
