Omera WRC Team has become the first Bangladesh Rally Team to achieve a monumental victory in (DDFT) World Rally Championship 2015.
Marius Aasen along with his co-driver Veronica Engan landed the biggest prize in rallying for Bangladesh side as he won the Drive DMACK Fiesta Trophy in style. Omera, a world class lubricant brand produced in Bangladesh, sponsored the team.
Victory at the final race of the five-event season, in Spain, saw 23-year-old Aasen and his co-driver finish on top of the championship podium.
After the victory, Aasen from Norway said: “It truly is an amazing feeling to win the DMACK Fiesta championship, we’ve both worked so hard this year to put ourselves in this position.
“It’s unbelievable that we have actually done it. I had a really safe rally and a very good feeling with the car all weekend. Now we’ve actually achieved it, I aim to make the best possible use of this fantastic prize.”
This success in Spain - his second rally triumph of the season - was just reward for Aasen, who undertook some asphalt driver training ahead of what proved to be a fantastic finale.
This has allowed him and Engan to claim the ultimate Trophy prize - a lucrative full seven-round series of 2016 WRC 2 competition using a Drive DMACK Ford Fiesta R5.
Aasen's victory came at the end of a titanic battle for the top spot which was only settled on the final day of competition.
He was one of four different drivers who had celebrated rally wins earlier in the campaign, the others being Max Vatanen, Tom Cave and Ghislain de Mevius.
