    Yeah, I remember now...although that article still seems a bit vague (or at least the quotes from Peugeot do), and seems strange for Loeb to have a team in the championship that he's not driving for.

    Been watching the Holjes round of RallyX on Ice this afternoon, not exactly high octane excitement but it's pretty interesting and a few of the races are pretty good. Definitely better than what I've seen from Trophee Andros

    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Good news/bad news: good news is that Loeb, Timmy Hansen and Guerlain Chichiret are all confirmed to be driving at the opening round of the British Rallycross Championship at Silverstone...

    ...bad news is that, following rumours last week, the GRC have confirmed today that they will not be running Supercars in 2018. Supercars will be replaced by the "Gold Class" (basically Lites with a few modifications). Gutted, as I won't get to see the GRC Civic or STI at Lydden.

    Why are Loeb & co. running at Silverstone... just guest appearance ?

    Testing the cars and gathering data on the new track would be my guess.

    They have restricted testing options this year so it's a good way of shaking down the cars. Unlike a lot of the new layouts that have been introduced into the World Championship the last few years, Silverstone is finished well in advance of the event, so it's a prime chance to get more time on the track before anyone else.

    I booked a (non-refundable!) hotel room near Lydden as I saw the announcement, so I'm committed now! The concept of the "Gold" Lite is interesting, but they are going to need decent size grids to justify the switch.

    Does seem odd, I can only guess that there has been a lot of feedback about dominance of certain teams. Quite a late announcement too, surely many teams will already be developing their car for the season?

    Time to modify the GRC Supercars so it can be eligible for the WRX/ERX. And Andretti Motorsport should bring the Beetles..

    Can we expect to see the next press release from Andretti VW, Olsbergs Honda and Subaru North America that they are pulling out of Global Rally cross autosport. com/wrx/news/134567/global-rallycross-drops-supercar-class or another press release they are setting up the IRC - independent rallycross championship for the East Coast/ Mid-West of North America only?

    Suspect the part reason for the change - Red Bull did not like to see the Monster Energy/ rockstar drink cars winning so much?
    http://redbullglobalrallycross.com/n...ss-debut-2018/

    Is this the platinum class - the electric / fuel class?
    http://autoweek.com/article/rally/re...ame-class-2019

    Atkinson said he was already testing the 2018 Subaru NA GRC car - 20th Feb 2018. Atko probably not pleased at losing another subaru seat.
