World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[Plan9]

Has Henning Solberg decided to the WRX/ERX or some WRC events in a WRC-spec Fiesta?

A few days ago I saw an interview with Ilka Minor and she said that the plans were some more WRC events with Henning. I can't find the link now, but if I do I'll post it here.

I think that rallycross could be the 'next big thing' if it can get a bit better coverage on TV. More real and exciting than F1, not too difficult to understand and lacks a lot of the confusing parts of traditional rallying (simpletons like to know who wins). It's fast, it's loud, it's frantic and the cars are supremely powerful, evoking comparisons to Group B.

Plus for the UK market we actually have a bit of a star in Liam Doran, a guy whos dad was a famous rallycross driver back in the days when it used to be on BBC.

I agree. With better TV coverage it could indeed be the next big thing. I think it will be interesting to see how GRC does in comparison to WRX regarding TV coverage and viewership.

RallyX looks like way to much fun and excitement to be acceptable. Wish I could witness it.

Perhaps we might see Matthias Ekström and Audi at a few selected events this year?
Rumours are that new Audi RallyX cars are being built for this purpose.

That was one of the main reasons for giving it "World Championship" status - to boost the sport's profile.

Petter said all events will be live on TV but i heard 8 i think earlier.
