    hmmmm I'd guess a completely different grid for 2018, men.
    Like Peugeot with a new team for Loeb and the Hansen Brothers racing a secundary sqad.
    Ekstrom racing with a Costumer Polo.. maybe with Marklund again?
    DA, Loco, Stard, Munnich all moving to EuroRX.
    BMW helping Timo and JRM with the Minis. ProDrive not racing the WorldRX yet
    I Think if Hyundai enters WorldRX, its gonna be a warning sign to its WRC program
    I dont see K.Erikkson, CsuCsu, Nitiss, Baumanis racing WorldRX next year. (Maybe EuroRX?)
    And I can only hope for Bakkerud to find a good seat

    RedBull Global RallyCross changed (earlier this year) its social media handle(? - names) back to GRCSeries. Now I've seen the official link for the youtube page its just OfficialGRC.
    They announced Total as a new partner. Maybe no more "red bull" support for 2018?

    Why would Ekstrom racing with polo?... About a month ago EKS announce that they are working on new car aswell, to be competitive to VW polo. And that car is Audi S1...

    Prodrive will announce Megane at the start of 2018. World RX start in the middle of april. I don't see the point that they would not starting right away... They start making the car pretty early. And with announcement they said that will compete full time.

    If Hyundai want to enter the rallycross it would not be next year at least. 6 months only until the start of 2018 season and that's not enough. Look how much they need to build i20 WRC car. Then R5... and i30 TCR.

    6 months is more than enough to convert a rallycar, it took Solberg 6 weeks to build a team and car from scratch in 2013.

Would be nice for circuits like Lydden though if high level racing can be retained.
    If that happen, I hope ERX will get the same video coverages as in WRX..

    And M-Sport pulled together a Focus that was fairly competitive in not a lot of time. That's without already having the WRC car as a base.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Most of the Fiestas used in World RX and Euro RX were built by Olsbergs MSE (such as Bryntesson's, Frøshaug's, Hvaal's, Kaczmarski's, Tohill's or Öhman's car), the only one which was build by M-Sport is Grönholm's car (same as Block used to race in GRC).

    Just for the Curiosity... OMSE also build Pastrana's Dodge (in GRC)

    And they are taking over that RallyXOnIce series for 2018...
    Its gonna be called RX2 On ICe, with 4 races (2 in Norway, 2 in Sweden), and 3 classes
    RX2 (lites) / A class with identical Clio RS RX / a Crosskart class

    ABout the Crosskarts engines -> they are a 150bhp from a Suzuki GSX-R 750cc engine and weighing just 312kg – propelling them from 0-100km/h in a mere 3.3 seconds and on to an impressive top speed of 180km/h.
