Three European champions awarded

Last Friday, November 25, the prestigious title ‘Årets Bilsportsutøver’ [Car Sport Performer of the Year] of the Norwegian ASN ‘Norges Bilsportforbund’ has been awarded for the first time in its history to a trio of drivers. After the first award had been presented in 1988 to former Rallycross driver and Group A Division European champion Bjørn Skogstad the NBF had chosen year after year for one outstanding competitior only. However, with three Norwegians winning the titles of the 2011 FIA ERC and Sverre Isachsen defending his throne again this year’s decision was all but an easy one to take. NBF eventually found a diplomatic solution and declared all three 2011 Euro champs to equal prize winners.
