World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[saco0o]

- the "street race" in the UK is also cancelled. the event will not host the race anymore.
- no promoter so far, holjes still no selling tickets too

on the other hand: RallyX European Series starts in March 29-30 in Montealegre (POR) with almost 100 drivers registered! and with tanner foust, oli eriksson, fraser mcconnell, casper jansen, svenson, tommi hallman, lane vacala, vitcor vranckx and a guy from france who races with a mercedes (!!) among the names on the open 4wd class!

the open 2wd class will also have some more diverse entries, which is going to make it a little harder for Tiger to win everything this year, especially because theres a dutch fella with a +600HP car! it seems matt ohman may run in this class this year.

AND we can expect more entries for the rounds on the northern leg races! (sverige, suomi, latvija, danmark)
all races livestreamed on youtube

I think that at this point we could say the championship is dead. I mean for WorldRX

Veiby was guessing start at Höljes like last year

It should never have become a World Championship to start with.

Just a bunch of families and their kids.

Exactly!! Either a European championship at the most, or a few races for a World Cup. It's simply not a global sport......It should really take place in the autumn/ winter as a 'filler' for the rest of motorsport in their off-season.

Being a World Championship isn't what has stopped the RX. It was very strong and healthy as one until a few years ago with plenty of different cars and teams taking part.

The problems have been the reduction in Manufacturers, the arrival of electric cars and the problems with the Promoter after Red Bull.

It clearly wasn't strong and healthy if IMG walked away from it. Even they realised that it was doomed with the current teams etc.

Weren't the teams the one who wanted the electric technology in the sport? And then all walk away, when the thing didn't drink the blood...

I don't think we'll see this World Championship this year - if at all ever again.

Lets face it, it's March and they clearly can't find a promoter.

My point was about it being a WORLD Championship not being the problem, but these other reasons.
