World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

WorldRX was a disaster before the promoter took over. That’s why IMG walked away.

No one was watching it on YouTube before, not sure why it will change this time around….

Are there any teams committed?

RX is more of a niche thing, one cant expect millions of people watching it. if theres more than 50k views (and it had, lets be honest) its already a win (for the size of the sport).

IMG left because their plan failed. weirdly they realized too late that "RX is just a niche sport".
their plan was to make the sport avaliable online (eye balls) while making money with fees from f1 track promoters, manufacturers AND a transition to electric cars with FIA support.

but track promoters werent selling thousands of tickets and manufacturers werent getting millions of eyeballs on open livestreams, BECAUSE ITS JUST A NICHE SPORT. so they all left feeling fooled and IMG left on the pandemic for obvious reasons.

I kinda disagree that 'it was a disaster before redbull took over'. In my view its just a small sport that will NOT bring millions of euros to the promoter. not now, not ever. Silly of them to think like that imo.
then my question (last post): if with everything open and with money from VWG, Ford, Peugeot, F1 circuits it didnt worked, how the heck redbull thought they would make it work with everything hidden? its weird to think about.

niclas/klara team confirmed. Hansens said they are IN but no word if its on "world or euroRX". KMS is really quiet.
but the euroRX teams are competing together with the WRX entries, so its going to be a decent number of entries anyway.

LIVE: Simola HillClimb 2025 || King of the Hill - FINALS (INTERRUPTED)

There are two interviews with Johan one of 2 minutes and the other of 13 mins. Sounds like sponsorship is difficult even if you are a 7 time champion.

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)

Now unlock all the pre-electric full races on YouTube!!
