Björk Is World Champion
Björk Is World Champion-January 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 Professional Rally Driver Roll His Car On The First Corner
You could still see the starting line behind him. This is Kris Meeke, the first British (he’s from Northern Ireland) driver to get a WRC win in almost 13 years. He’s fast, he’s good. But he’s also a little unpredictable sometimes, as you can see here. He rolled his all-wheel...

Rhys Millen Dominating Pikes Peak In A 1-Megawatt EV Is Strangely Serene
Rhys Millen and his all-electric eO PP03 set a new record at Pikes Peak this year, running to the summit in 9:07.022 and beating out Monster Tajima by over 20 seconds. But the combination of speed and silence in this on-board video of his balls-out run is downright tranquil compared...

Holy Crap Watch This Nissan GT-R Fly Off The Road At Pikes Peak
At the wheel of this hillclimb-prepped 2009 Nissan GT-R is none other than the impossibly kind racer and Motor Trend hot shoe Randy Pobst. Thankfully, he’s alright. Here’s how this crash happened to one of the best in the business. Pobst is an amazingly capable driver, pretty much the only...
