Gustav Bergström
)
A successful ice-hockey player in his youth – competing at elite U16 and J18 level – Gustav Bergström made his motor racing debut in 2021 in the second-tier Supercar Lites division in both RallyX Nordic and the Swedish Rallycross Championship, before stepping up to the headlining Supercar class.
The son of Ronnie Bergström – a Kristoffersson Motorsport engineer for many seasons in Sweden’s domestic touring car series (STCC) – the Stockholm native joined the Euro RX1 fray at Höljes’ ‘Magic Weekend’ in 2022, missing out on a semi-final berth by barely two seconds in the high-calibre field.
Bergström went on to partner multiple world champion Johan Kristoffersson and Ole Christian Veiby at Volkswagen Dealerteam BAUHAUS for World RX’s inaugural electric campaign, impressively reaching the rostrum on three consecutive occasions en route to sixth in the overall classification and top rookie honours.
The Swede made three further appearances for the squad in 2023, yielding a best finish of eighth, before focusing on the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia – placing seventh in the title table – and International GT Open in 2024, triumphing in Catalunya in the latter series as he and Nico Menzel steered their Car Collection Motorsport Porsche to sixth in the standings.
Bergström has additionally contested a number of 24-hour races, winning the 992-Am category of the 24H Dubai in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and scooping the runner-up spoils in-class in the 12H Mugello alongside World RX stablemates Kristoffersson and Veiby.
