World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

New electrical cars with old model body shapes, LOL

Makes sense really. Teams are facing a steep learning curve with the new powerplant. Use a chassis that you know well and you are already going to have a huge amount of data to work with for suspension, weight distribution etc.

Where is that "Lancia" team ?

Still building their cars. Not entirely sure who is constructing the race cars and if that is the same workshop responsible for the road car production as well. Believe they are still looking to have a car out on track this year.

Also funny how the Hansen (Peugeot) and Gronholm (Hyundai) cars dont have any badges on the front.

Make sure those manufacturers come back and commit if they want their badges back on the cars!

On the whole I thought it was a pretty positive debut. RX1e cars seemed reliable and, although they aren't shattering records yet, the pace was almost equal to the RX1 from the outset despite the minimal amount of testing. The electric cars are never going to appeal to me as much as the combustion Supercars, but the racing was pretty close at times.

I actually quite enjoyed the Super Pole session, but the rest of the new format is not winning me over at all. I personally think it was a huge mistake to make such sweeping changes the same year as the electric transition. Nick really doesn't seem to be improving with his commentary either, hoped he would settle in after the first year, but his commentary is still riddled with errors.
