I really doubt mate. I think Chris Atkinson is someone that could really rent those Hyundais from Rhys Millen, cuz he already said he WANTS to race Global RallyX.Quote:

Cant wait to see wheres OMSE will put Sebastian Eriksson next year. He deserves something like WorldRX or the RedBull Global RallyX.
I can realy see Patrik Sandell being moved to the Scandinavian series for Mitchel De Jong to race in the Global RallyX series.
actually A1, S1 and S3.Quote:

Broadcast hours: +444%
The Race in Sweden registered a 3.3 million viewers around the globe (TV)
Growth on social media:
Facebook:+348% over a 12 month period.
Twitter: 202% increase in followers
Instagram: +900%
Overall, the average reach across all social media platforms per event rose from 430,000 in 2013 to 6.7 million in 2014.
Live event attendance was another success story with a 130%
Tell me about AWESOME NUMBERS eh
http://fiaworldrallycross.com/articl...al-huge-growth
They have good growth, but I guess year 2 will the key one for them.
To give some context. their top event was watched by 3.3 million on TV. That's their peak audience.
The WRC top event in 2014 was watched 86.75 million people.
http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/novem...2--12-12-.html
And they were both measured by the same company - Repucom - presumably using the same methods.
Percentages are just fancy numbers without proper context.Quote:

RALLYFIEND:
yeah. WRC is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger than RallyX! THe series is just on its second year (talking about investments. RallyX is around since 1967).
2014 was their first Global experience. And U re right, Its all about 2015! But I think RallyX its something "unwittingly-dedicated" to atract younger fans into the Rally World. I'm 28 but I just started to follow WRC this year BECAUSE of RallyX. So I think RX could be something really positive to WRC y'know? And it could also help to bring the racing fever back to live again.
FRANKY:
Yes. Percentages are fancy, but the numbers are thrilling. Is good for them and for the Fans. I used to be an Indycar fan but I just QUIT because all of the negativity and bad numbers around it. So positive things are something great.
And I think they are comparing everything to last year's Monster Energy RallyCrossRX series. Or the so called Euro RallyCross championship.
In that case the numbers don't mean anything, except to show what you can do with proper promotion. If the numbers grow in similar style compared to 2014, then there's something to be proud of.Quote:

Sebastian Erikson won the first RallyX On Ice race last weekend at holjes (swe). I didnt found much on the internet about it. Hope to have some videos on the next weeks.
RIGHT NOW, the RallyX On Ice series is running on the Super Special Stage of the Swedish WRC race
You can watch live here:
http://www.expressen.se/tv/sport/liv...-rally-on-ice/
IDK if they will keep the race online to watch later, ok?
They are racing on 1x1 style today. Just like the super special stage.
Gronholm is racing today. He's doing pretty well.. he's at the semi finals.. ABout to race Kev Erikson.. Andreas Erikson's son.
The other finalist is Reinis Nitis, who passed cuz Seb Erikson flipped his car haha
Oh! HEres some RallyX On Ice images from the first round in Holjes

"American" RedBull Global RallyX's Ken Block and Tanner Foust new liveries
Both will race a few rounds in WorldRX:
Attachment 490
Just signed up to the forum, great to see a World Rallycross thread on here!
I'm a huge rallycross fan and was fortunate enough to make it to two World rounds last year (along with a few of the British and BTRDA Championship rounds as well). Hoping to make it to four World rounds in 2015.
After all the driver/car swapping during last years off season I wasn't expecting too many changes before this years season. Based on the press releases so far though, it looks there are already a few changes happening.
Theres a new racing date into the WorldRX schedule. May3-4 at Hockenheim, together with the first DTM race of it season!
They will build the track around the stadium section.
More news expected to be released by next week
Tanner Foust will compete in four rounds of WRX 2015 (England, Canada, France and Spain) at the wheel of VW Polo Supercar (Marklund Motorsport).
Tanner will be doing 3 FormulaDrift races with a 900HP VW PASSAT!!
The meeting in Germany resulted in lots of support eh!?
Beetle in GRC, Polo in WRX and Passat in FormulaD.
GoTanner
Not too sure if the Hockenheim round is a good thing or not, I hope it doesn't signal the end of the Estering (though I have read the Estering is guaranteed for this year and next year, so fingers crossed it stays). I'm also not keen on the idea of another temporary track but, given where it is, hopefully it will be a decent effort.
Great news on Foust, look forward to seeing him in action at Lydden and Loheac. Got my fingers crossed Block confirms some World rounds as well.
i don't like these rounds on permanent track circuit. It's good for country which doesn't have rallycross track, as Argentina, but not for Germany. Estering is amazing, it should stay there.
Ramona Karlsson with VW Scirocco in 2015 http://planetemarcus.com/ramona-karl...-worldrx-2015/
great news... more tourists in the show.
Theres more than 10 proper rallyX tracks under construction around europe. I'd rather to watch the series racing on those tracks, not on F1 tracks. But the series is Growing and its gonna be interesting anyway... AND MONEY TALKS.. So lets see how it goes with new tracks like Barcelona and Hockenheim (Plus Turkey again)
The bad thing was the drop of the Finland round. Wrong... veeeeeery wrong!
Ohh! I read that Argentina is starting its own RallyX series too! Australia will have a Lites class this year too.
RX is really Growing fast as hell
Agreed. It's great to see the sport increasing in popularity, and I appreciate that there will be some events that take place because of the money. That doesn't bother me...Quote:

So if you had your way in sports then the WRC would only have 3 drivers?Quote:
