For me rallycross is mostly a show. The result is mostly decided by what happens in the first corner, and a lot is based on pure luck. There are too many factors where the driver has no influence on (for example being hit by an idiot or being held up by somebody in front of you). I don't know any proper "sport" where your opponents can accidentally ruin your results so much as in rallycross.
And on the other hand we can say it's very spectacular to watch. I've been to the European rounds in Maasmechelen a few times in the past. And last weekend I watched Mettet online. Also what the promotor is doing is simply great, the live-stream is fantastic. Let's hope Red Bull Media House learns from this, in a positive way...Last edited by tommeke_B; 15th July 2014 at 23:06.

You can't compare rallycross to rally, its dumb, they are two completely different sports with different skill sets entirely.
But with the live streaming, its proves that what could have been achieved with some descent marketing and footage in WRC.
Yes there is an element of luck, but most sports have this, I think its just great having Live streaming, and sideways action in a racing format!

Livestreaming only works in countries were they did not sell their tv rights. For example in my country a pay per view soccer channel has bought the rights. Now I can't watch rallycross legally unless I shell out 15 euro per month. Not really a sign of great promoting in my opinion.

Really starting to like RX. Petter was obviously the best today, nobody could get close.

It is a really fun sport... worth staying up to watch it and the live coverage was very good.
I still think they need to work out the points allocation system it is complicated as it is...
