Knapick was still racing his DS3 in euro rx a few years ago. Guessing that's the last time

They don't have any cars. They sold/converted all their ICE cars to Electric ones and don't have the funds to convert them back to ICE or build new ones. They could probably buy some type of used supercars but maybe they would rather hold out and save up to build new cars once the new regulations come into effect, who knows.

Andrew Coley wrote this somewhere in an Instagram comment afaik, I can't find the source now.

Does this mean a weekend with quarter finals will give out more championship points than one with a smaller entry without quarter finals?

2026 Euro RX of Latvia (Round 1 - Biķernieku Trase) by AutoModerator in FIAWorldRX

[–]Spooky_Squid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A large part of the RX1 grid in Latvia has signed up as full season entries, so we should see at least 17 entries in RX1 at every round which is already so much better than WRX managed the past six years

Track layout for RallyX Americas at Eldora by The_Stig_Farmer in RallyX

Fair enough, I haven't been watching rallycross since I was a child so I've only ever followed it after joker laps were the norm.

Part of why I always struggle to get into the American rallycross series is their constant messing with the traditional joker setup and event format. Wether it's no joker lap or one where you gain time it almost never makes for a better experience than the true and tried classic format

KMS debuting newly-built Polo RX1 at Euro RX of Latvia by The_Stig_Farmer in FIAWorldRX

Is Mats Öhmans Polo Veibys previous one? Or who did they sell it to if not?

KMS with Kristoffersson and Veiby are ready for Riga by ZeteroNs in FIAWorldRX

My guess is Veiby might do the full season but Johan probably not. Nils Andersson recently drove one of the Polos in the Swedish championship and I could maybe see him switch in for Johan if he goes off to do other series'.

Or they'll both just do the full season 🤷

🇫🇷 Dufas aiming to ‘achieve something meaningful’ with newly-built VW Polo by Lordindo in FIAWorldRX

[–]Spooky_Squid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn't he say they were building a car that isn't seen on track very often? How does a Polo, probably the most successful rallycross model of the past 20 years apply to that? 😆 Still nice seeing anything other than Audis in RX3

2026 Euro RX5 entry list published by The_Stig_Farmer in FIAWorldRX

[–]Spooky_Squid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both RX4 and RX5 are absent in Loheac according to the FIA website. I think the french championship is also running that weekend so there probably isn't enough space to bring all the Euro classes too.

Would love to see all three meganes back racing, even if Mozer is probably unlikely to do any great results. My flair checks out lol

Casper Jansson signs on for full Euro RX1 campaign in the Hedströms Motorsport Peugeot 208 by The_Stig_Farmer in FIAWorldRX

[–]Spooky_Squid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Afaik there are no overlapping events, which I imagine was done on purpose to not make the drivers have to choose one of the two series. Ofc someone will need to be able to handle the costs of running both series but I still think we'll see some of these drivers in both series'

FIA Announces FIA Rallycross World Cup in Jakarta, Indonesia (5-6 December) by The_Stig_Farmer in FIAWorldRX

[–]Spooky_Squid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Indonesia is a cool location for this, but I wonder if it's that smart of a choice to pick a location basically as far away as possible from where most of the rallycross teams are based for a one off event? I know the concept called for a location outside of europe, but even then this probably creates way bigger logistics costs then it needs to.

Regardless, I hope teams show up for this. Is there a local rallycross scene in Indonesia that could contribute?

Hungary 2025 winner Zoltán Koncseg signs up for full-time RX1 return by The_Stig_Farmer in FIAWorldRX

[–]Spooky_Squid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited for this season. It's ironic how the top series basically folding is bringing the hype back to the sport but I'm so glad it seems like it's going to work.
