World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[giu canbera]

Well... RallyCross is starting in Australia too
The rallycross in Australia, called EXTREME RALLYX, will debut with only the Lites class.
Some indications about the final race in February 2016 that they will host a potential WorldRX 2016 round.
Here the site with all the infos http://www.extremerallycross.com.au/

They will bring a SuperClass for season 3 and they are expecting manufacturers support, cuz Australia is one of the big markets that car's companies are interested (like in an American Series or an Euro(now World) series. I think a Japanese series would have support from the big guys too. But you dont see them having teams in England, Wales, Netherlands, Argentina, Belgium, etc...
The Nordic series have a little participation of the manufacturer teams from WorldRX, but there no direct investment from the Brands (VW, Ford, Saab, Citroen, etc)

Brilliant news, Larsson was incredibly strong last year.

PSRX now becomes SDRX... so looks like there is a Monster backed Solberg/Doran team on the way!

JRM also confirm Select World rounds:

WorldRX Team Peugeot Hansen 2015 is confirmed with Timmy Hansen and Davy Jeanney.

208 WRX has both engine & chassis developments; last year's car based on T16 (R5,) this year it's more RX specific.

Great news for Jeanney. He deserved a full time seat last year and didn't get one, I hope he does well in the Peugeot.

I wonder where we are going to see Timur now?...

Tickets booked the other week for me and the old man, including camping. Really looking forward to it as last year was fantastic entertainment. It's not motorsport at it's most 'pure' but it's still a cracking weekend for £40 or whatever it is.

It's not motorsport at it's most 'pure'...

I would actually argue the opposite; short races demanding maximum commitment, simple track layouts, relatively open build regulations... its as pure as you can get really!

Was at the second round of the British Championship on Monday, first live rallycross I've seen this year and it's got even more excited for the World Championship.

On the other hand there's a lot of barging about and the joker lap which is added in for show. Plus the cars are so heavily modified that I don't think they could be genuinely considered 'pure'
