World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[N.O.T]

Its a fun sport, no need to take it seriously.

Since most rally drivers see it as a fun retirement home it can stay here i think.

It needs its own section. It's an FIA championship, no need to talk it down just because it's fun, exciting and close real racing, while WRC is nothing but.

Cheer up, the WRC will come back. Until then, embrace that the best drivers in the world are in WRX and enjoy it.

Yeah, this easy peasy circuit banger racing.. Funny that the "driving God", nine times world champion, three times Race Of Champions winner, runner up in Le Mans, Sebastian Loeb struggle to reach the final in this kiddie series... Ask him if he thinks it's easy.

Get real, WRX has the closest racing of any FIA series now and the talent level is crazy high.

Any other series would be very close if the competition distance was 30km as well

Yeah, like how 100m sprint is such a silly children's series. And that untalented brat Usain Bolt isnt really that fast. Hell, with just 100m it's so easy your nan could probably win an Olympic gold.

Sometimes... Jesus.

Is that you Ken Block ?

Yeah, why don´t they do just one lap? RX is not rallying.

Why do You care where the thread is? Does it hurts the rallysport somehow? And why it does?

Yes it does, because people some how associate it with rallying, and because of its popularity the promoters / organisers of WRC will look to watering down rallying even more until we have 12 super special stages making up one event. It is not rallying. It is circuit racing.

Some of drivers are great drivers, no doubt, but they've all had their day. It's a bit of a nursing home for the old heros. Solberg had years of disappointment and tears in the WRC, and basically settled for 2nd best. Loeb ran away from the WRC before he was shown up by Ogier.

What I don't get, and that's not just this particular thread or forum, is the need to talk down other sports/series to "promote" your own favorite.
If you don't like the series, why bother reading the thread.

[Alpha]

I somewhat agree, but I'm guilty myself as I've said that both WRC and F1 is like watching paint dry

WRX is an FIA championship and should have its own section, it's obvious.

its not about promoting rallying, its about putting dogs to their places when they get overexcited.
