World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[saco0o]

found this in another forum. perfect:

(...)FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “The FIA World Rallycross Championship has evolved a huge amount in terms of technology and sporting competition in recent years while remaining true to its heritage as one of the most exciting and accessible categories in all of motorsport(...)

This is what worries me. The "PR B.S." ate these people's brain. Read this sentence again. Its not possible these people are still conectect to reality. Honestly. WHAT technology? That spec electric kit that exploded and since then the company itself hasnt produce ANY new kit? Competition? With the richiest team backed by VW Sverige winning every year? "Remaining true to its heritage"? WHAT HERITAGE? Like Lydden? Estering? France? "Acessible"???? there has been 8 cars competing because its expensive as f* to compete (and to host races too! The fees sky-rocket under RBMH!)
This is whats wrong with the sport! THe people in charge lost touch with reality.

this is so incredible!! now we are talking!!
tho im always thinking "wooow fellas, rx is a small sport, chill out a little bit. 3 races is enough for each championship, lets not rush to much" haha cant you see the americans failing year after year for trying big things? lol

WorldRX is a small, niche European sport, and should stay that way. It's not big enough to be a global World series.........There simply isn't the interest, or money to support it. In fact, it reminds me so much of Cyclocross in cycling.

agree. i saw tommy kristoffersson (johan's father - kms team owner) arguing on facebook they need to keep the 'world championship' status, but thats selfish. he needs the world series status to keep his partnership with volkswagen, redbull, castrol, etc. but thats what is screwing all the other racers that cant put together a budget to race in this mega expensive championship. i'd go back to euroRX, 8 rounds (drop 1) and thats it.
if theres interest, expand back to 10 rounds. but thats it. thats the max limit imo

It should be world class series, but they need to do it right. Attract manufacturers, have snow, tarmac, gravel, mixed events, have multi continent calendar (obviously isn't Euro centered sport if the thing grows in USA) and dates being distributed for whole year not just ''summer'', bring some names back who could actually challenge Kristofferson, make better cars (drop those stupid EVs), not having RedBull over all cars.
