World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[mohit]

if SOLBERG dose not compete also in last two rounds he is first FIA WRX CHAMPION

[N.O.T]

During the broadcast they said that he is not, i cannot figure out how the points system works in WRX and in my opinion this is one of the problems of the sport.

[Sulland]

Max 30 points per race, so max 60 if Heikinen wins both with max points.
Petter is 60 points ahead, and will have won more races in the end - that is why he is champion now.

Some say he is the first driver that is world champion in two categories in FIA, but not sure.

Anyway, congratulations to Petter and team, top notch!

If Indicar or Rally Raid are FIA categories, probably not.

Yeah, that must be it - http://www.fia.com/championship/worl...ountry-rallies. In that case we have some E/WRC - Cross Country double champions.

Petter is FIA ----WORLD--- Champion in 2 categories, yes. Not European, local or country FIA but --- FIA WORLD --- Champion. If Loeb f.e would win the WTCC this year he would also be a *double* category winner.

Ok, no problem, but he is not the first one.

Ok, so Who is FIA World champion in 2 different categories then ? I am curious myself. Has FIA made a mistake ?
