World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yup. They were also quite competetive timing-wise in Latvia. And these Projekt-E cars are a bit heavier, and down on power compared to the electric cars they plan to race alongside petrol-Supercars.

I think they have more torque though, plus it's instant. The extra weight is the big issue and makes them less nimble.

The C3 of Raymond did seem better though and he was raving about how good it was to drive. And he should know as he's pretty experienced in RX.

An @ExtremeELive drive may have come calling for @mattiasekstroem, but that hasn't stopped his #WorldRX ambitions for this year:

Timmy Hansen won race 1 in Barcelona and Ekstrom won qualifying in race 2, and both pushed JK all the way this weekend.

Bakkerud was also back on the pace this weekend and unfortunate in the race 2 final (won by JK, pending a stewards investiagion)

Great to see some real competition now for the him and Polo.

Sooo JK is the 2020 Champion...

The right man has won (in my personal opinion anyway), but I am gutted that Belgium and Germany have been cut from the calendar.

Indeed. It was just getting really competitive too and those two tracks would've been amazing to watch.

I suppose we should be grateful for what we got in 2020. Shame we didnt know Barcelona was the finale at the time.

Yeah. Spa was fantastic last year (arguably the best round of the year) and I was keen to see how Johan would fare on an unfamiliar circuit.

Agreed. Much like the WRC it hasn't been the full calendar we were hoping for, but at least we have got some racing and the condensed season has meant that consistency has been even more vital.

I was hoping that Germany might have been turned into another double-header weekend: I have actually liked the extra dynamic that has bought to the season this year.

British RX is still aiming to run a double header (without spectators) at the start of December, so hopefully we might get to see a bit more racing before the year is over.
