World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

mountaine (idk how to write it)

Mountune? - The engine tuners owned by Dave Mountain.

I know English is hard - there are always at least three ways of saying the same spelling of a word and six different ways of spelling words that sound the same. It's because all of our words have been taken from other languages!

Nice to see VW celebrate the Polo's 50th Birthday with the WRX champ going full Gymkhana:

timmy hansen said recently next week they have some announcements. i guess one is probably about extreme e (they are having one last round with all teams and then theres the debut event for the hydrogen cars - both races in saudi... OF COURSE). but theres also something about rx in the making. no idea what it could be. i doubt its lancia tho.

Yeah I think they used to use 208 and DS3 because they were Peugeot's factory team, which isn't a case for a pretty long time. There are still some connections for sure, but I really doubt Stellantis would right now enter the RX too, maybe in 2028. Would be great to be incorrect here tho.

uhh i dont know the exact word. just the 'sound' of it tbh haha its like "lemon". all the audis on today's euroRX have these 'lemon" engines. i have no idea whats the correct name. some of the teams use 'pipo's engine' and i used to think it was "people's engine" lol

i always suspect you are actually Kenneth Hansen, mate haha tell us the truuuth! =P
i'd guess that since 2028 RX cars are going to be rally2 with rx engines OR wrc27 rollcages+body pannels with rx engines, we are probably going to eventually see a lancia in rx 2028 too

Haven't a clue what those are - unless it's something to do with that "lemon" 24 hour race

In case you aren't aware, Mountune engines have been used a lot in touring car racing and rallying, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountune_Racing

I think it could be probably "Lehmann". As far as I know it is company which tune racing motors for VW/Audi/Skoda...

To be fair some of the action at WRX Turkiye between WRC and ERX has been quite good. Some of the EuroRX guys have shown themselves well against the EVs and some WRX like Klara Anderson have been well beaten in the heats.

Everyone in ICE Cars next year should be good but will EuroRX succeed with the WRX guys joining, or be spoiled ?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Another World Title for JK... number 8 ! Can anyone beat him or will he get 9 and 10 ?

I was glad to see Gronholm pip Veiby to be runner-up. He's driven well and the car has been pretty close to the KMS Polo.

Let's see what 2026 brings...

Well, at this point, no. No they can’t.

Because it’s impossible and doubtful we’ll see a World RX championship again.

How long did the FIA take to kill it off? 6 months?

Impressive.
