Rally Cross

Rallycross combines the best aspects of rallying, drifting and oval track in one exciting, high-octane spectacle, with short four or six-lap sessions on a purpose-built, part-tarmac, part dirt-track circuit in a stadium-type arena that encourages a lot of sideways action – and the good news for spectators is that you can sit anywhere on the stands and see almost the whole circuit.

 

Rallycross is an exciting and thrilling sport and is popular among both professional and amateur drivers. The cars are typically modified versions of production cars, with powerful engines and advanced suspension systems. The drivers must navigate a series of obstacles, including jumps, turns, and other hazards, in order to complete the course in the fastest time possible.

The program features classes for four-cylinder cars of up to two litres and 130kW, and six-cylinder cars of up to 168kW, while the BMWs of the E36 Cup have their own class. But the big dogs are the cars in the open category, where almost anything goes, including genuine rally cars. There’s even an all-tar category for drivers who want to get in on the action but don’t want to risk their cars on the dirt sections of the WRX layout.
