World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[MrJan]

Doubt that there's much movement from rallycross to rallying. It's like moving out of comfort zone and most people hate doing that. Spectating and following the two sports is like day and night. Rally fans adding rallycross to their "menu" is more likely.

I agree. Unfortunately one of the ones that went from rallying to rallyx is NOT, who now seems intent on winding up all the rallyx fans having alienated most of the rally fans on the forum. It amazes me that he doesn't have a permanent ban, given how often he resorts to personal insults and petty name calling.

Possibly..long term cocaine abuse always leads to psychosis... it could also be mere alcoholism. Or a chemical imbalnce in the brain leading to delusions of grandeur and mistaking the idegestion from last nights pizza with too many anchovies for some sort of brilliance

or all of the above.

World Rallycross Championship featured on tonight's episode of BBC Top Gear. The special feature, which was filmed at Britain’s Lydden Hill race circuit late last year, also stars US-based Top Gear presenter Tanner Foust who is the first American to have won a round of World RX. Several other World RX drivers also appear on Top Gear.

Eddie I'm reading here only good comments about tonight's episode. Here in south america we'll have to wait a little to watch the show. Maybe tomorrow after aired in US some 'muricans upload the episode on Youtube or something. Cant wait. Im happy cuz they filmed with JRM's new BMW Mini (Riku Tahko driving). A good hint about the new team/driver for the 2015 season.

It was the usual over-edited Top Gear affair, but still great to see rallycross get such positive praise on there again.

Incredibly envious of James May getting to drive a Supercar!

It would have been seen by more people in one short 10m segment than a whole season of World RX. The sport would be perfect for 'normal' TV. The reaction on Twitter was one of surprise at how good the sport was.

Yeah. I'm glad Top Gear have given top level rallycross as positive coverage as they did clubman rallycross a couple of years ago.

The TV package for European/World Rallycross has vastly improved over the last couple of years (since it was rebranded RallycrossRX). Last years Livestreams were really good.

Roll on May, can't wait to get to Mettet and Lydden!

I quite enjoyed it but I think they could've shown much more action, plus they didnt need Clarkson & Hammond messing about as 'spotters'...

Any publicity is good publicity though.
