    Not sure I agree with this. Technically (as you say) a rivalling series can not be names "world championship".
    However there is nothing stopping a rivalling series naming themselves "Global RallyX series".
    I have a hard time seeing that FIM would have the legal right to forbid another series.

    I know of at least similar cases, one being the BSI/FIM vs. One Sport/Fim-Europe.
    The first pair is trying to prevent riders from riding in both but since most of the riders is EU citizens
    and all except one of the races (3 out of 4) is in the European Union, I don't think it is legal.
    The matter have yet to be decided mainly because FIM constantly is going back and forward
    with the matter. First saying they will impose a ban on riders who do both then backing
    from that statement saying that riders will will able to both and now again they have decided
    that riders should not be allowed to do both.

    The other case is between Swedish Car sports federation (SBF) and Swedish Authority konkurrensverket.

    SBF tried to ban it's licensed members and volunteers from participating in events organized by
    rivalling motorsport federation Motorsportalliansen. This ultimately went to court and the matter was
    eventually decided by Marknadsdomstolen which ruled that any form of ban on the drivers or
    any form of "loyalty" clauses connected to heavy fines if violated, were not legal meaning that
    the drivers are free to drive for whoever/wherever/whenever they want.

    Re: World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

    It is common for the governing body of a sporting discipline to have that power. They are recognised as the ruling authority around the world, and that is where the power cones from. Yes, a rival series can start up, but they will struggle to get recognition without the FIA's backing.

    Where they have been is not the point - *when* they went is. You will notice that they only go to a certain number of international events because of the rules set out by the FIA.

By signing the current Global Rallycross champion Toomas “Topi” Heikkinen (FIN) as their lead driver, Marklund Motorsport have impressively underlined their ambitions in the World Rallycross Championship.

    I really think this thread should not be in the World Rally Championship Folder of the forum.

    What other subforum would be a better fit for it?

    Formula 1? Indycar? Le Mans series? Or Perhaps Motorcycle Racing?

    It does not fit in anywhere however the WRC forum is the least misfit.

    Granted they are all misfit but don't be so quick to label this forum the least misfit. All the other racing series have the same important main factor as Rally X (they are all wheel to wheel 'racing') whereas rally is totally different and a race against the clock if you need reminded. I hate this Rally X guff with a passion..

    Well, I had nothing against this thread (and Rallycross as whole) being here, but just hate to hear the name Ken Block.
    So, +1 for moving it.

    Sarcasm is something that's just cathing on in some parts of the world...

    Please make a new subforum before more people accidentally make it here, discovers it's about that god awful redneck RX (how could they ever know? ) and has an aneurysm...
