i wonder if there was a meeting and someone at fia went like: "well, liberty media strategy is to just flood social media 24-7 with brainless stuff and they are going richier and richier by the minute because 'eyeballs' is all sponsors actually cares so.... whaaaat if we start doing the promotion thing ourselves to get even more money?"Quote:

As there was a tender for new promoter and nobody won, I expect there was no other option for FIA. Take the promotion or cancel the championship (at least for this year).Quote:

TBH the World RX is stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment for anyone running it.
With the cars in transition from ICE to EV leading to low Manufacturers interest and a totally dominant champion in Kristoffersen making the driver title battle non-existent. Even hardcore fans have been watching recent seasons out of habit rather than for any real enjoyment.
I dont see any big improvement any time soon whoever is in charge.

also on calendars... not sure any of the fellas here follow the AWESOME european autocross championship, but the race in Vilkyciai Lithuania on june 8 was cancelled for financial reasons
They ''literally'' ''announced'' ''new promotor'' ''yesterday''... with FIA take charge of this new task. Their promises are just like government ones. Never realized or are announced very late or too late. So it's silly just to think about that calendar is even close to finish. I think it will be announce by their standards in 2030 for 2025 season. Again FIA taking charge... What could possible go wrong
calendar is out. basically same tracks in different dates.
Lousada (1jun), Holjes (6jul), Nyirad (20jul), Kymiring (24aug), Instambul (21sep)
they say theres a season finale for the worldRX to be included after Instambul
Geez, FIA jut repeating what was already done before?!
rallyx round 1 is LIVE now
