World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[MrJan]

Where would they put a track in Spa? Can't remember a whole load of space that wasn't on a hill!

btw... Nitiss won the EuroRX title using an old Ken Block GRC Fiesta...
I wonder if Ken is sad or happy to see his car winning an european title....but not at his hands hehe

EuroRX (at least a few semis and the finals) were very great to watch. Marklund, Nitiss, Cyril, Bryntesson and Szabo had some advantage with those "kinda costumer" (?) programs... But it was way more interesting than watching Johan winning every weekend. Hope for more coverage in 2019. Hoping for more old school tracks too tbh... And more WorldRX privateer teams with not much money to compete in the WOrldRX, like Prodrive, OMSE and Gronholm teams. Sorry IMG

It's not an ex-Block GRC Fiesta. M-Sport initially built two rallycross Fiestas; one was the "RX43", the Fiesta that Block used in the GRC (and also in several gymkhana films).

The second Fiesta was owned by M-Sport and used by Block when he made his first European rallycross appearances in 2014 (at Hell and Loheac). I have seen several articles state it's an "ex-Block" car, which is incorrect. Block never owned that particular car, he just drove it on those two occasions.

That Fiesta was subsequently used by Niclas Gronholm in 2017 before being driven by Nitiss in the Euros this year. Set Promotion were running the car for Reniss.

ARX gets full livestream because it has no TV deal. World RX does full livestream in countries that don’t have TV deal, if they did it worldwide then no one (TV companies) would want to pay for the rights to show it.

At least six, possibly more. Block had the first car with the second build the "hire" car that I mentioned in my previous post.

Chip Ganassi Racing and Bryan Herta Autosport both used a pair of cars in the GRC so that takes the total to six.

I think it might be seven as AD Racing ran two cars in the 2016 season and I can't see where their second car came from unless there were seven chassis in total.

Would love to see more of M-Sport Fiestas running in Europe as it's my favourite of the current cars.

Forgive the double post, but Liam Doran confirmed at GCK for the rest of the season. He will be joined by Anton Marklund in a third car.

That's sucks.. Looks like WRX will go to Spa..

From what I understand, is that there won't be a round there at all.
I might be wrong, but I thought the plan was to remove 3 European rounds, and replace them with tracks outside Europe. (Asia?)

I'd like to see either a Japanese round or a return to Argentina would be good...but that really increases costs for the teams.

I have seen an article being shared about this, but I haven't seen anything to support the claim yet.
