World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

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.

Only if someone pays VW to make one!

WHY ?

PSRX is vw factory team, no need for outsider payer. I´m pretty sure it´s multi year deal between PSRX and VW factory.

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."

Is the World Rally Cross livestreamed this year?

[tolx]

It should be livestreamed, but with same exceptions as before: no stream in countries where it's broadcasted commercially.

[MartijnS]

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.
