Speedgroup contacted Will\u00e9n as they were looking for an announcer for the whole series with knowledge of the sport and the EDRS Pro Nordic MC as well. It&#8217;s been in the plans for a few years and now comes to fruition. A track announcer who attends all races will know the ins and outs of the whole series, the championship and the highlights of previous races and in that way is a valuable asset to the series. Speedgroup are very happy to add Will\u00e9n to their team.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>PiPPi Will\u00e9n has a long background in the sport of drag racing with among other things having worked about fifty European Championship races across Europe. \u00a0For many years the Swede has been a colourful commentator at many Scandinavian tracks, he&#8217;s done the bike commentary at some twenty championship rounds at Santa Pod Raceway in England and also helped out in the tower at the Manufacturers Cup series in the US.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6449\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/pippi_willen_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6449\" class=\"wp-image-9573 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/pippi_willen_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/pippi_willen_02.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/pippi_willen_02-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Copyright Brandi Neithamer, Dragbike.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Having been part of four championship bike and car teams that holds a total of 29 European drag racing championships, Will\u00e9n is a real insider with a lot of knowledge of the sport and also knows most drivers and riders from the car and motorcycle categories in person.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6447\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/pippi_willen_03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6447\" class=\"wp-image-9575 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/pippi_willen_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/pippi_willen_03.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/pippi_willen_03-300x253.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6447\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Copyright Roger Gorringe<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PiPPi Will\u00e9n will be the expert track announcer at all four races of the 2018 EDRS Pro Nordic Motorcycle Championship.
