Kenneth Timmy Hansen (born on 21 May 1992) is a Swedish competitor in rallycross who secured the 2019 FIA World Rallycross Championship title while representing Team Peugeot-Hansen. Currently, he races in the FIA World Rallycross Championship under Hansen World RX Team and holds an FIA Platinum racing license. Over 111 starts, Hansen has accumulated 14 victories and 46 podium finishes, with his highest achievement being the championship win in 2019.
He hails from a distinguished motorsport lineage: his father, Kenneth Hansen, boasts 14 European Rallycross Championship titles; his mother, Susann Hansen (née Bergvall), claimed the 1994 ERA European Cup in Group N up to 1400cc; and his brother, Kevin Hansen, also competes in rallycross events.
Career beginnings
Hansen captured the Swedish Karting Championship crown in 2008 and went on to achieve wins in Formula BMW, Formula Renault 2.0 Alps, and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series between 2010 and 2011. His rallycross debut took place in April 2011 at Dreux, France, where he drove a Citroën Xsara Supercar provided by MTechnologies. In 2012, he participated in the Finnish round of the FIA European Rallycross Championship using Sébastien Loeb's X Games-winning vehicle, finishing fifth overall. After transitioning away from single-seater racing, Hansen dedicated himself fully to rallycross, completing the entire 2013 Euro RX season and ending third in the standings.
World RX
In 2014, Hansen became part of his father's team alongside Timur Timerzyanov, a former European Rallycross champion, competing in the inaugural season of the FIA World Rallycross Championship. He secured one victory and three podium placements, concluding the season fourth with a total of 199 points; Timerzyanov finished seventh with one podium.
During the 2015 campaign, Hansen represented Team Peugeot-Hansen alongside Davy Jeanney piloting the new Peugeot 208 WRX. He earned three wins and finished as runner-up to Petter Solberg in the championship.
The following year, in 2016, Hansen teamed up with nine-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb at Hansen Motorsport. Meanwhile, Jeanney moved to Peugeot Hansen Academy alongside Kevin Hansen. Timmy achieved one win and six podiums throughout the season, ending sixth overall.
