World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Been a long time out for Wilks but never gave up hope he'd get a chance again. It might be 'only' RX but its a start..

Hope he does well and gets more drives.

This explains how Wilks came to get the chance with JRM:
JRM Racing Team Principle, James Rumsey, “Guy’s motorsport pedigree is undisputed and we won the British Rally Championship together in 2008.
I have no doubt he’ll adapt to the requirements of rallycross quickly and successfully. He’s excited about seeing what he can do in the MINI RX and the feedback that he will give us as we test before the race weekend and at Lydden itself will be a massive benefit as we continue the development of the car and ultimately make it even more competitive in World RX.”

Also hope the MINI is a decent car as its good to have a variety of cars in the series.
JRM think it will be competitive: 'The car’s 1.6-litre BMW turbo engine produces around 480 bhp and this, coupled with the its excellent handling and driveability characteristics, means the MINI RX is expected to be more than a match for the other cars on the World RX grid in 2015.'
