World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[giu canbera]

Again, geoblocked. Most countries show World RX on TV and in those countries (like Norway for instance) you can't view the YouTube stream.

watch it on burningwhee1s.blogspot.com
(yes, better not post this link on facebook and twitter cuz... u'know... they dont want these sites to be around. But you can find pretty much every racing series there)

Choi said World Rallycross was of particular interest and that certain rallycross teams had already approached Hyundai Motorsport about the prospect of running i20s.

Would one of those be PSRX?

Magda Andersson and Anton Marklund to do EuroRX next season for Marklund Motorsport.

Nice to see Magda step up.

But, what does this mean for the VW Team Sweden, if anything? I thought the team was a combination of Marklund Motorsport and VW team Sweden in 2016? Frees up a WorldRX spot in a competitive car. In the WRC exit talk, VW mentioned increased (GRC at least) rallycross support. There's somehting in here somewhere.

As far as I know, Kristoffersson Motorsport (the other part of Team Sweden) tries everything to stay in World RX. There are ongoing talks with VW in Hannover. But it may be that Johan Kristoffersson will move to another team and his dad´s team will do something else (Euro RX, RX Nordic, STCC...?).

Aha, thank you for the update. I hope they can sort something out, real talent.

Tanner Foust for that 2nd seat would be great move...

Agree, would bring some money to the team through Rockstar and also just seems like an all round nice bloke.

Will be interesting to see Magda in a supercar, she's been pretty quick in touring cars for someone so young but reckon EuroRX will be a bit more of a challenge.

Petter to Hoonigan???

Some rumors on Facebook this week about Petter and Bertel O Steen, more specifically the A-class AMG. Would be good to have yet another manufacturer in the championship.

Not sure about Hoonigan, think Petter would rather be his own boss than to work for Ken. They do have a good relationship though, and Ken as team boss and Petter & Bakkerud on the track would be a fierce combination.

Do they have a rallycross track at Silverstone?? Because if they don't, it'll end up awful like all the Global Rallycross tracks are. Lydden hill is a fantastic track, makes me a bit sad.
