    World RX has outlined their plan to integrate electric into the championship and after running Projekt E as a support series in 2020 they plan on running electric and petrol powered cars together for 2021. I think that's one of the greatest rule changes in recent years for any motorsport category, for each powertrain to play to it's strengths against each other and really pit them together.

    Maybe they hope the E-Cars beat the petrol-powered cars to help to get fans to accept them...

    I guess this signals the end for OMSE. When they don't have enough with RX2 at the bottom, removing that would be though to recover from. It's a bit like M-Sport not being allowed to sell R2/R5 cars.

    I hope they don´t rise minimum weight etc...

    If petrol car rules stay same as now, I´m ok with competing against EC.

    Their instant acceleration should give the E-cars the advantage.

    I have zero proof, but it wouldn't surprise me if the "ERallycross" series listed for 2021 is contested by electric RX Lites.

    OMSE were talking about electric drivetrain development over a year ago, that could be why.

    Seems to be a good number of entries coming in for the European Championship. Interesting to see that Munnich is supporting a Supercar class to run alongside the Titans in 2020. I wonder how much interest that is going to get? (And if it means we won't see Munnich in the Euros).

    "Kristoffersson will be driving a Volkswagen built in-house by his family’s team" - nope, the same car as two years ago, just this year will be serviced by his familys team, not a factory. Anyhow, glad he is back!

    And the round in Spain are postponed. Not a surprise though! Possible new date is 25-26th July.
