History

KNA-Eiker introduced rallycross to Temte in 2008 by asking him to drive in a race. He bought his first rallycross car, a Volvo 240.

In 2010, a big crash almost ended his career during a race at Lyngås. Temte was out from racing for 11 months, and suffered a permanent damage to his left arm.

Temte has driven a Citroën C4 for supercars since 2015.
