World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[giu canbera]

Max Pucher is releasing some infos about his new RX championship. The Global RallyCross Europe, with spec 500HP 4WD cars that cost something around 30% of a SuperCar budget. Rumor they could race in Lydden, Mettet, Slovakia, Italy, Estering and other traditional places. Maybe 11 races. We will now more in Oct 18th.

AND NordicRX will have 7 races in 2019. Latvia will be on the schedule.. and a second race in Norway, somewhere TBA.

Really not sure about this. I think Max has the sense (and finances) to establish a decent series, but are there enough people out there who are going to be interested in it?

We have already seen RCE rise and fall, is this going to go the same way?

Isnt the Pucher formula the same as the now defunct GRC one? Identical cars like NASCAR on gravel?

I don't know for certain, but that's the impression I have got.

EDIT: Just seen the GRE has it's own website:

I’m not holding my breath! Allowing normal RX cars is a better move, obviously when GRC originally announced the one male idea it wasn’t a surprise that Andretti and Vermont pulled out, the GRE idea would allow them to run...although not sure how BoP would work in such short and varied races.

This series needs to decide if it wants to take on ERX or work alongside it with many of the same entries. The main advantage it needs to work on is wing able to keep budget sensible.

Andretti and Vermont were already gone when the one make series was announced: that was a reaction to their departure, not the cause of it!

I couldn't be mistaken but, based on the comments I have already seen from Max (Pucher), I don't think he has any interest in working with IMG.

As you say, I'm not sure how BoP will work with Supercars.

Wonder if World RX appreciates the fact that one of their cars is on the website?

The website is pretty amateurish...

Guys, what do you think about Tierp RX Arena..? Does it as boring as WRX tracks..?

That's one of the MJP Racing cars: Max Pucher owns that team and GRE is his series!

(I'm also pretty sure that photo wasn't taken at a World track)

I saw that the RallyX Nordic TV coverage was online yesterday:

I plan to watch it at the weekend to see what I think about the circuit.

Forgive the double post, but I see this morning that Petter Solberg has confirmed he will return to the World Rallycross Championship in 2019.

EDIT: Spa now confirmed as the replacement for Mettet:
