Marcus Grönholm is a living rally legend. During the Sweden rally, he made a one-time return…and it was powered by Champion. Marcus is what Champion is all about, especially with this return.

Champion Lubricants, releasing hero’s full potentials
Champion is about where you’ve never been before. About driving unfamiliar roads, and doing so in full confidence. It’s about facing new challenges and never giving up. It’s about you against the rest. It’s about us together against the world.

Marcus Grönholm has everything of a Champion hero: After two championship victories in 2000 and 2002, Grönholm retired at the end of the 2007 season. He now returns to the sport wearing the Champion colors with a Toyota Yaris WRC. We travelled with him to Sweden supporting him in this exciting adventure.

One thing is for certain: This partnership with Marcus is only the start of an amazing journey ahead…

“We believe in people who want to accomplish things, and who want to perform beyond the ordinary. Maybe that has to do with the fact that we also strive to perform beyond expectations with our brand, and with every one of our products.” Says Yves Decat.
