So the news is out folks, World Rallycross is back here next year… To say we are excited to see the likes of Solberg, Marklund and Liam Doran once again here is an understatement. Full release by the WMSC for Rallycross is below…. FIA WORLD RALLYCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP Following on-going discussions with the promoter, the WMSC is pleased to confirm the creation of the FIA’s sixth World Championship, the FIA World Rallycross Championship. This fast, competitive and spectacular youth-orientated Championship will be for Supercar drivers and teams and will be contested over 12 events around the world. The Sporting Regulations and calendar for 2014 were approved as follows: 03-04/05 PRT Montalegre 24-25/05 GBR Lydden Hill * 14-15/06 NOR Hell-Lanke * 28-29/06 FIN Kouvola 05-06/07 SWE Höljes 12-13/07 BEL Mettet */** 07-08/08 CDN Trois-Rivières ** 06-07/09 FRA Lohéac 20-21/09 DEU Buxtehude * 27-28/09 ITA Franciacorta */** 11-12/10 TUR Istanbul Park ** 22-23/11 ARG TBA ** Reserve competition: Greinbach (AUT) * Competitions counting towards the FIA European Rallycross SuperCar Championship (all European competitions to count towards the FIA European Rallycross Championships for Super1600 and TouringCar) ** Subject to circuit (re-)homologation From January 2014, a new scale of points will be adopted for the qualifying heats in the FIA European Rallycross Championship, with the top drivers receiving more points than those behind. The same scale of points – which serve to establish the intermediate classification at the end of the qualifying heats and to designate the drivers who can reach the final phase - will also be adopted in the FIA World Rallycross Championship. And, to increase the value of winning the Final, eight Championship points will be awarded instead of six. In both the European and World Championships, the number of engine seals per driver in any one season is set at three. A penalty of 15 Championship points will be imposed on the driver for each additional engine seal.
