GCK started a pool to know how much we support the electric RX thing:

And heres one good comment

"RX engine's sound are the BEST THING in nowadays motorsport IMO, but tbh, if it stays easy to watch on the internet, if it have some more free to air tv in europe, if the cars are really more powerfull than the current petrol cars and if they really have a new crazy-agressive look then maybe this electricRX series could help to calm racing fans down when it comes to electric cars u'know? Electric cars in rallycross are the ONLY space where the e-cars could really be faster than the petrol series. (FE is slower than F1, MotoE is slower than MotoGP, eTCR is slower than WTCC etc). So that may help..... Im in the "middle". I LOVE nowaday's petrol cars but I also like the new tech so IDK what to say. Just dont be slower than the EuroRX cars that will continue to be petrol cars. I also like the idea that FIA will demand manufatcurers to have one or two satelite/costumer teams. That should help the "Privateer" teams when it comes to costs. Lets see how it goes"

They're slower because they're heavier with all the batteries. I don't thing that'll be the case with RX as there are not much capacity requirements.

Anyway that's the direction manufacturers will go, especially VAG group. Don't expect them to be more sound exciting though.

Thats what it was said. That electric RX is going to be the first series where the Electric cars are faster than the "petrol" series. (Like those examples)

That's not what it says, it says "it could", which is in the space of probability. Anyway there is no revolution, they are already faster at the pinnacle of hill climb racing, i.e. Pikes Peak.

Interesting that the VW Pikes Peak car won the shoot Out at Goodwood FOS on Sunday but was still off the mark for the outright record. Was impressive to watch it especially when Dumas nearly crashed on one run right in front of the house however still sounded like a washing machine rather than a car.

Have you seen the Heidfeld record run? It's crazy quick regardless of what tech.

I'm still torn on the idea of ElectricRX, on one hand the torque and power will be spectacular but on the other it'll be a huge shame to lose the theatre and sound of current supercars. I'd like to see the two classes continue to run, but not sure if the money will be there to sustain it. Maybe IMG/Monster should spend less money on freebies and flying birds in leather kecks around the world.

The F1 car has more than double power/weight ratio...no suprise it's faster on a track like that.

So the World Championship is back this weekend: can anyone stop Kristoffersson?

[Alpha]

If yes then it's probably Solberg.

The French RX series upload their races on youtube. They posted the 6 races that already happened this year. They are on the summer vacation. Theres 4 rounds left yet.
Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/user/rallycrossfrance/videos
The "supercar final" is always the last part of the video. Chicherit is racing that championship with a Clio.

And tbh Im enjoying more these national series than the WorldRX. Idk why... I think Im not a huge fan of manufacturers racing in RallyCross. I like when its all privateers, maybe a customer team.. u'know?
I really like watching the EuroRX races during the WRX broadcast.

THeres the Argentinian RX series too, with MaxiRally cars. They have way less power, but the racing is good too
Heres the round 2 finale -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAjUCDV_2E4

And heres the first 3 races from Nordic RallyX. Its one of my favorite championships too

Anyway. Hope you are all crazy bout rallycross like me! hehe Enjoy

I hate to say this, but I think COTA's RX track is too short..
