From press release
Organizers of the FIA World Rallycross Championship (World RX) are delighted to announce a significant increase in the number of teams. Six two-car teams contested last year’s inaugural 12-round World RX – a number which has swelled to eight teams for 2015 as the burgeoning championship further lives up to its reputation as the world’s fastest growing major international motor sport series. The eight teams will contest the coveted FIA World Rallycross Teams Championship, but the drivers’ championship is also open to ‘wild card’ and privateer entries meaning the World RX regulars will face additional competition at most events. No fewer than five major automotive brands – Audi, Citroen, Ford, Peugeot and Volkswagen – are represented in the enlarged entry, too.
“World RX just gets stronger and stronger,” confirmed Martin Anayi, World RX Managing Director for IMG. “The Championship got off to an incredibly fast start in 2014 and we are now building on that considerable success.” The eagerly anticipated 2015 Championship blasts off in Portugal later this month and includes rounds at renowned F1 venues Hockenheim, Barcelona and Istanbul as well as at the sport’s spiritual home, Lydden Hill in the UK. Countries visited this year include Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Canada, Norway, France, Spain, Tukey, Italy and, finally, Argentina.
