I know of at least similar cases, one being the BSI/FIM vs. One Sport/Fim-Europe.
The first pair is trying to prevent riders from riding in both but since most of the riders is EU citizens
and all except one of the races (3 out of 4) is in the European Union, I don't think it is legal.
The matter have yet to be decided mainly because FIM constantly is going back and forward
with the matter. First saying they will impose a ban on riders who do both then backing
from that statement saying that riders will will able to both and now again they have decided
that riders should not be allowed to do both.
The other case is between Swedish Car sports federation (SBF) and Swedish Authority konkurrensverket.
SBF tried to ban it's licensed members and volunteers from participating in events organized by
rivalling motorsport federation Motorsportalliansen. This ultimately went to court and the matter was
eventually decided by Marknadsdomstolen which ruled that any form of ban on the drivers or
any form of "loyalty" clauses connected to heavy fines if violated, were not legal meaning that
the drivers are free to drive for whoever/wherever/whenever they want....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

Re: World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX
It is common for the governing body of a sporting discipline to have that power. They are recognised as the ruling authority around the world, and that is where the power cones from. Yes, a rival series can start up, but they will struggle to get recognition without the FIA's backing.

Re: World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX
I really think this thread should not be in the World Rally Championship Folder of the forum.

Well, I had nothing against this thread (and Rallycross as whole) being here, but just hate to hear the name Ken Block.
So, +1 for moving it.

Re: World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX
Sarcasm is something that's just cathing on in some parts of the world...
Please make a new subforum before more people accidentally make it here, discovers it's about that god awful redneck RX (how could they ever know? ) and has an aneurysm...
after that YouTube channel with tons of old rallying videos was 'stopped', now its time for one rallycross YouTube channel to have the same end. https://youtube.com/@rallygreat2660?feature=shared...
