Live from PSRX Volkswagen launch.

Looks good. Interesting to hear that it's based on a 2014 WRC car and uses the GRC Beetle engine.
Guess the 2017 wasn't ready yet. It isn't even officially launched so.. Petters car is the newest Polo available.
Regulations don´t allow WRC17 as base car, too wide I think.
Would be cool if they changed the body regs to 2017 WRC though, WRX cars look a bit tame now
Wider cars would make it more difficult to overtake. I doubt they'll go down that route...
I rarely outright dislike a livery but this looks bad and belongs in a national championship or something. It's blatantly a mix of two liveries each with their own sponsors and color theme. The colors and shapes don't work together at all. I'd rather they have split liveries each with their own sponsors/colors and maybe have the same design/shape to link them together. But like this it's just bad :(

first "rally" next week in Spain
An RX car never looks right without a bit of tank tape holding it together.
I prefer 2015 Polo Kristoffersson..

As I understand the regulations, RX Supercars have to respect certain measurements of the base car, not general limits like in WRC. VW Motorsport used the 2014 Polo anyway, because it was basically ready to race. They did some development back in 2015, just in case. The only car available at that time was the 2014 Polo WRC.
Also there will be a new Polo roadcar in summer 2017, which obviously they couldn't use just yet. I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a totally new Polo Supercar in 2018.
It's a factory-run team run as a customer operation.
That was well publicised when it was announced.
"We have been watching rallycross very closely for a while now," Smeets told Autosport.
"Obviously we are already working with the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team in Global Rallycross - where we had great success with the drivers' and manufacturers' championship titles last year - but we were keen to look more at the FIA World Rallycross Championship for 2017.
"Working in alliance with Petter's team and Volkswagen Sweden, we could make this happen.
"Petter will run the team and we will provide technical support.
"We will have technicians at the races and we will engineer the car, but the financing and sponsorship of the operation is all down to Petter and Volkswagen Sweden."
Still has WRC dents in the roof :) https://twitter.com/davidevansrally/...35221914226688
Is the World Rally Cross livestreamed this year?
It should be livestreamed, but with same exceptions as before: no stream in countries where it's broadcasted commercially.
I think it is just streamed in countries where it is broadcasted commercially. At least in the Netherlands streams started working when some channel started showing it.
Ford Performance are also streaming the whole RX season live: http://performance.ford.com/series/r...allycross.html
Motorsport.tv
Happy to announce that we will broadcast all 12 rounds of the @FIAWorldRX LIVE this year! https://t.co/MNxygiLJn3
Anyone else in UK showing it? Will be a shame if it's off terrestrial.
Quest was a bit of a ropey channel but I agree this feels like a step backwards for the series.
Great addition for Motorsport TV though.

Can't wait for the first round !

Niclas & Marcus Grönholm tested in France this week at "Circuit de Faleyras" to prepare #GRX Ford Fiesta RX ➡ http://bit.ly/2olO4NQ
Andrew Coley on comms:
Just chucked it down with rain for second half of WorldRX Q2…turned the standings on their head !
The rain was incredible - the final race in Q2, the cars were basically on ice, losing 40s and more to the early runners!
And the rain came ! Q2 highlights https://youtu.be/tNAu-eNvLAk
Loeb misses on the semis, he had transmission failure in Q3.
Why he bothers with this sport ? it is obvious its not for him.
Great to see Guy Wilks make the SF. Both him & his team needed a good start after all the effort to get a full season package together.
try harder kid...

Nice to see many fans in the sunny grandstand and so far so good, enjoying the racing.
