World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[MrJan]

Jordan is just a one off at Lydden Hill

Yep, and Chicherit isn't doing a full season (6 races I think).

No news on Rene Munnich's team yet, if he's got cash to burn then I suppose he could let Timur trash the car in a few events.

Not a bad selection of drivers so far, I reckon you've got 5 that I'd put money on getting a win this season:
Solberg, Ekstrom, Kristofferson, Loeb, and Bakkerud...and if the Pug isn't as bad as last year then the Hansen brothers have a good shot too.

this motorline.cc article says Stohl racing will be back with 2 cars, rumours it will be ex-MJP-Drivers Baumanis and Timerzyanov

[JUF]

There is an interview with Stohl where he confirms Baumanis and Timerzyanov: https://www.rallye-magazin.de/index....ws%5Bday%5D=21

I think that Olsbergs MSE won't be back this year. Rumours say that Niclas Grönholm will take part in a Ford Fiesta of M-Sport with his own team.

Fourth team in four years for Timerzyanov.. Let's hope he can be tamed this time around.

He can be truly quick on a good day, the fact he was the only one close to Bakkerud in Hell proved that. I hope he can calm it down though, would be good to see him have a good season.

Interesting that Max Pucher (or at least someone with the name) commented on a FB comment that it was just a rebrand of Team Austria, something along the lines of "No, Stohl has nothing to do with Team Austria, we've rebranded as MJP Team Austria"...if it's actually him then would suggest a bit of a break up between the pair...although as STARD are running the same cars and drivers it would seem that they have more elements of Team Austria.

Yeah, I noticed the same comment.

I believe Olsbergs will work into adapting the Civic GRC to WorldRX for Button guest drives.And Munnich may not take part in the championship.That C Elysee and Rob Huff for WTCC aren't cheap..

Guy Wilks announced as doing a full season as LOCO Rallycross team. He'll be using an ex-Kristofferson Polo. Shaping up to be a half decent grid this year.
