apparently the number of entries is going to be very low, so fia released the new regulations where they can combine the grids from both european and world championships (racing all together on the qualys/heats) to make it look more healthy.
finals are going to be separated

back in 2014 they had something similar, i dont remember quite exactly how it was. i remember ken block getting P3 on the world championship - and also being crowned as the euroRX round winner... ?

im in.
i mean, the rounds are all the same for both series, just race them all together, jeez

I'm sure that Puma costs 3-4 times less than the Rally 1, and will be as spectacular (if not better)...

yes, but its a 2wd car for the norwegean national rallycross championship. i dont know the full specs but i imagine is a super 1600? it must be really cheap, they are building it from scratch themselves!

[macebig]

It's definitely 4WD since they built a transmission tunnel inside a stock Puma chassis. Don't know the engine specs tbf. Probably the classic Duratec 2L from the Focus.

No - it's rear wheel drive. Look at the video on the rolling road.

Fair.The transmission tunnel is for the conversion from FWD to RWD.

Euro/WorldRX will be livestreamed again on YouTube WITH ANDREW COLEY back on the booth!! fia listened to the fans! both series will run together in the heats with separated finals, the heats will be based on laptimes again, not finishing order (which is better, cuz you gotta push the whole time for the lap times, not settle when u r in front) awesome. so happy they are going back to those 2013-20 rules.

id LOVE to sit with redbull gmbh promoter and ask "why did you changed all of that? did u really thought your non sense changes would improve the sport? removing coley for a guy who didnt knew the name of the 7 driver competing... Changing the format to stuff none of the drivers understood.. the paywall that wasnt a paywall, it was a "watch free on redbulltv instead of YouTube - but just some fans knew that, so the audience Dropped because u did ZERO PROMOTION on social media telling fans 'just watch on redbulltv"
I dont understand. honesty. but im happy with the recent news! now lets hope for more than 6 entires in wrx (tho euroRX always have 15+, which is great already)
