A son of a double European rallycross champion

Born in July 1992 in Svenljunga in southern Sweden, as a son of a double European rallycross champion Lars Larsson, Robin Christian Zacharias Larsson was predestined to follow his father's footsteps in motorsport.

Robin made an international rallycross outing in 2012, participating in the Touring Car class of the European Rallycross Championship with Škoda Fabia. He won in his first ERX event in Austria, then four more times until the end of the season. Despite most wins of all drivers, he finished just fourth in the points because he missed the first two rounds of the championship.

In 2014, Larsson made a step up to Supercars class, driving the #4 Audi A1 for Larsson Jernberg Motorsport. In five rounds, he was on a podium four times, including wins in the UK and Belgium, to take the championship title ahead of Henning Solberg. With the same car, he finished second in RallyX Sweden.
