We’ve been aware of Isachsen’s impending move to America for a while, Rallycross World magazine even predicted it back in 2010 after the Norwegian had driven for SRT USA in the X Games.

Rallycross World magazine predicted this two years ago!

The SRT video describes the team as being led by Dave Mirra. The third man in the squad is skateboarding legend Bucky Lasek, a 39-year-old who can list ten X Games medals on a career CV that is so long you need a telescope to see to its end. His move into motor sport  has previously included some circuit racing.
