Rallycross 2024

24-04-25 From Total Transparency To Fan Appeal, RallyX Continues To Lead The Sport With Innovative Directions
• With the 2024 season just around the corner, the RallyX Championship is preparing for some major changes.
• With the aim of improving the decisions taken by the Race Direction, the RallyX Championship has set up a working group to develop the way in which the sporting regulations are interpreted.
• As part of this working group, each category will have its own representative, while Reinis Nitiss has been appointed as Race Controller for all events in the 2024 season.
• The former FIA World Championship star will be responsible for ensuring that the Working Group's recommendations are implemented by the Race Director.
• Reinis Nitiss will also be present during the TV broadcasts of the RallyX Championship to share his point of view and analysis with the fans to help them better understand what goes on behind the scenes of the rallycross sport.
• Former rallycross legends such as Kenneth Hansen, Tanner Foust and Andreas Eriksson will be responsible for guiding the working group by sharing their extensive experience of the sport.

In 2024, the RallyX championship will seek to fundamentally reinvent the interaction between drivers, teams and stewards by reinforcing the crucial role of the Race Director through the creation of a working group bringing together some of the key players in the rallycross sport.

Sharing experience for more pragmatic decisions
Led by true legends of the sport such as Kenneth Hansen, Tanner Foust and Andreas Eriksson, who will act as 'Senior Advisors', the task of this working group will be to act as an interface between the paddock and the stewards.

“The RallyX Championship wants to create a new dynamic by ensuring that the rules and the decisions taken by the stewards are in line with the philosophy and the feedback from the drivers and the different teams” explains Andreas Eriksson.

"That is why we have decided to set up a working group consisting of Joel Christoffersson, Kevin Eriksson and Eric Farén, as well as other key figures such as Jimmie Osterberg and Viktor Johansson. Their role will be to listen and discuss with the teams and competitors to determine how certain rules should be interpreted by the Race Direction, while at the same time putting forward ideas for possible changes to the regulations. The working group will be open to anyone who wants to get involved in helping rallycross move in the right direction."

"Kenneth, Tanner and I will be advising this working group with all our rallycross experience. The aim is really to bring together all the thoughts that will be centralised by the group to give clear guidelines on how the Race Director should work at our events. In this way, any Race Director appointed by the RallyX Championship will always have to take into account the interactions made by our working group."

"For example, if the working group feels that there is too much contact on the track and too much damage due to the competitive nature of the sport, it can ask the race director to take firmer and stricter decisions. Similarly, if a competitor does not agree with the penalty imposed, he can contact the Working Group and they will review the case together and assess whether the rules need to be changed".

New responsibilities for Reinis Nitiss
The youngest ever winner of an FIA World Championship event has been appointed Race Controller. Reinis Nitiss will be responsible for implementing all the recommendations of the working group set up by the RallyX Championship.

In particular, the Latvian will have the power to decide whether an action deserves a penalty or not, while at the same time assigning a penalty that is in line with the philosophy decided by the working group.

And who better to take on this role than Reinis Nitiss? A former double European Rallycross Champion, the Latvian driver has the distinction of having raced in many different categories. From Super1600/RX3 to Supercar Lites, Supercar and CrossCar, Reinis Nitiss has an unrivalled knowledge of the rallycross sport.

An educational approach to help fans better understand the sport behind the scenes

As well as his position as Race Controller, Reinis Nitiss will also have a prominent role in the TV coverage. In addition to a camera following the Latvian throughout the events, Reinis Nitiss will have the task of educating the audience by appearing in the RallyX Championship TV studio alongside Andrew Coley and Hal Ridge to explain the ins and outs of his role. The Latvian will be able to explain exactly what factors he takes into account when deciding whether or not to penalise a driver.

“Race Direction must be seen as our ally," says Andreas Eriksson.

"The purpose of creating this working group is also to underline the difficulty of their role. We're going to give the fans a whole new way to appreciate these men and women behind the scenes by bringing their work into the spotlight”

"We really want to make our Race Controller an integral part of the show. We want to make him a real star, a character who is recognised and appreciated by the public for his ability to share his sense of analysis and know-how. Not only do we want to take the fans behind the scenes and show them what goes on, but we also want to showcase the stewards and the race director. It's also an excellent way of attracting the younger generation to these functions, which are sometimes unknown to the general public."

"One thing is for sure, from this season on, drivers, teams and stewards will be working hand in hand in a totally transparent and productive atmosphere, which will also be accessible to the public via our TV broadcasts. It's a win-win situation for everyone."

If the RallyX series has always stood out for its creativity, innovation and ability to push the boundaries of our sport, this will continue in 2024 as the championship prepares to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

24-04-17 Another productive month for Hansen Motorsport
March marked another productive month for Hansen Motorsport, as the team progressed its long-term partnership with Sparco and confirmed Kevin and Timmy Hansen as its drivers for the 2024 FIA World Rallycross season.

In the FIA World Rallycross Championship, all involved are preparing for an exciting new format. The pioneering 'Battle of Technologies' will see the all-electric RX1e cars - introduced two years ago - up against sustainably-fuelled combustion counterparts.

A trip to Stockholm presented an exciting start to the month, as Susann attended a Swedish Female National Team Leaders Network meeting. Hosted at the National Sports Federation HQ in Stockholm, women came together to exchange insights and experiences from leadership roles within their respective sports.
Longstanding partnership with Sparco continues for 2024

"Towards the end of March, Hansen Motorsport announced that Sparco, the Italian auto part and accessory company, will continue to supply the driver equipment, team kit, and teamwear for Hansen World RX Team and #YellowSquad.

Sparco will also support Timmy Hansen as he faces his exciting new challenge in the E1 Series, by providing technical racing equipment from the Full-Efficiency line, which is globally the first and only product line aimed at the principles of “zero waste”.

The long-standing partnership between Hansen Motorsport and Sparco has been built on shared values and decades of joint experience in motorsport. This partnership supports innovation through constant collaboration with the drivers, whose valuable feedback gained from their skills on track continues to back research and development towards the highest level of performance.

Kenneth Hansen, Team Founder of Hansen World RX Team, said: "All of us at Hansen Motorsport are proud of our work as a family company. Having dedicated partners like Sparco, who share our commitment and passion, plays a crucial part in our legacy as a team. Together with Sparco we’ll continue to push what’s possible and pick apart every detail as we look to continue innovating and improving both on and off the track."

Diego Lamura, Sparco Chief Marketing Officer and Global Partnerships, said: "Sparco is proud to partner with Hansen Motorsport. This long-term partnership gives us the opportunity to continue and deepen our commitment to innovation and sustainability, while benefiting from the world-class expertise of the drivers, who play a key role for us at Sparco in our ongoing research and development activities."

The most successful team in rallycross history will draw on its wealth of knowledge and experience, as it retains 2019 World Rallycross Champion Timmy Hansen and 2016 European Rallycross title-winner Kevin Hansen.

The familiar driver line-up will be squaring up to unacquainted adversaries in the 2024 World RX season, as the eagerly anticipated ‘Battle of Technologies’ racing comes to life. For the first time, cutting-edge electric cars – introduced to World RX two years ago – will go wheel-to-wheel with sustainably-fuelled RX1 combustion counterparts.

Opting for the all-electric Peugeot 208 RX1e cars, the Hansen World RX Team are looking to build on last year’s performance in pursuit of both the Drivers’ and Teams’ titles this season.

Kevin Hansen said: “It’s great to be confirmed for another season in the World Rallycross Championship with the Hansen World RX Team. Our team has such a strong presence in rallycross, and we’ll be drawing on all our history in the sport to take on this 2024 season.

“Last year was a fantastic learning curve for myself and Timmy in different ways. We work well together and that’s also how we can develop the car in the right way. We require the same things, and we have a very similar language when we talk about the car, so we’ll be looking to push development as much as we can throughout this season.”

Timmy Hansen said: “I’m happy to be racing again this season and to keep my streak alive of having done every race in World Rallycross so far. To be taking on 2024 with Kevin in our ninth season as teammates feels special and gives us both a great foundation to work with.

“It’s a very different season this year. We’ve had two seasons of new electric technology and now, finally, we get to go up against combustion cars and I think that will be a great show for the fans.

“The electric will have some strengths, but so will the combustion – which will be a lot lighter in the regulations - so it will be very interesting and for sure make the championship more unpredictable.”

At the start of March, Susann headed to Stockholm for a Swedish Female National Team Leaders Network meeting. Hosted at the National Sports Federation HQ, women came together to exchange insights and experiences from leadership roles within their respective sports.

Susann said: "No matter the sport, the dilemmas turn out to be quite equal. There is no doubt that sport in general is facing a massive challenge in getting women engaged. So events like this, which amplify the career opportunities available for women and encouraging them to stay in sport over time, are crucial."

Among the activities on offer across the two-day event (7-8 March) in the Swedish capital were multiple lectures, including one held at the Stockholm School of Economics around “leveraging the power of women in sports”, as well as talks around the rise of AI in sport.

Susann said: "That power group of women, which I'm fortunate to be a part of, strengthened me in a whole new way. We had two days of interesting lectures around leadership, AI in sport, and many discussions and good laughs. It was so energising to listen and learn from these exceptional women from all kinds of sport. We even got to try MMA!"

24-03-29 14 Nationalities For A Record Number Of Drivers In The RallyX Championship
With the entry period still open, 115 drivers have already claimed the 125 places available for the 2024 season.

With 14 different nationalities represented, the RallyX championship reinforces its status on the international scene.

While the CrossCar categories are sold out, there are still some places available in the Open 4WD, Supercar Lites and Open 2WD categories.

After breaking attendance records in the first two weeks of January, the RallyX Championship presented by Nova Motorsport has confirmed this trend with a total of 115 drivers for the 125 places available for the 2024 season.

For its tenth anniversary, the RallyX championship continues to gain momentum. With the final registration period closing on 15 April, no less than 14 nationalities have already entered.

In this Olympic year, the 2024 campaign will be a veritable concert of nations. In addition to Sweden with 34 representatives, Norway (22 drivers), Finland (19 drivers) and Denmark (17 drivers) will also be trying to reach the top step of the podium.

But the growing strength of the RallyX championship will also be demonstrated by Estonia (seven representatives), Belgium and the Netherlands (four each), France, Great Britain and Latvia (two each).

The United States of America, Germany, Lithuania and Poland will also join this prestigious list.

"The line-up for the 2024 season is nothing short of exceptional," says a delighted Andreas Eriksson.

"We've never had so many drivers enter the competition and it's a reward for all the work we've done over the last ten years. Bringing 14 nations together in our championship is a real achievement, but I wouldn't be surprised to see that number increase in the coming weeks.”

"The CrossCar categories are already fully booked. That's a good thing, because it's through the junior and senior championships that we're working to build the stars of tomorrow in rallycross. There are still a few places available in Open 4WD, Supercar Lites and Open 2WD. With the tracks we have selected and the forthcoming announcements we will be making in the next few days, I have no doubt that this season will be a great success"

24-03-27 Hansen World RX Team ready for electrifying 2024 title fight
Multiple World Championship-winning team, Hansen Motorsport, faces a new challenge in its 2024 FIA World Rallycross Championship assault, as the third year of the discipline’s electric era comes with a sustainable twist.

The most successful team in rallycross history will draw on its wealth of knowledge and experience, as it retains 2019 World Rallycross Champion Timmy Hansen and 2016 European Rallycross title-winner Kevin Hansen.

The familiar driver line-up will be squaring up to unacquainted adversaries in the 2024 World RX season, as the eagerly anticipated ‘Battle of Technologies’ racing comes to life. For the first time, cutting-edge electric cars – introduced to World RX two years ago – will go wheel-to-wheel with sustainably-fuelled RX1 combustion counterparts.

Opting for the all-electric Peugeot 208 RX1e cars, the Hansen World RX Team are looking to build on last year’s performance in pursuit of both the Drivers’ and Teams’ titles this season.
Podium contenders from the outset in 2023, the Hansen World RX Team hit the ground running with second in the season-opener in Montalegre, Portugal. That podium was among six rostrum appearances last year, including a win at the season-finale in Hong Kong, as the team finished second in the Drivers’ and third in the Teams’ standings.

Led by 14-time European Rallycross champion Kenneth Hansen and European S1400 champion Susann Hansen, the squad is adding?lessons learned from last year?to?an intense off-season ahead of its 2024 championship challenge.

Behind the scenes, Hansen Motorsport remains unwavering and unified in its efforts. From the mechanics and engineers to the PR and communications staff, the team pushes for the epitome of teamwork, and each member plays a crucial role.
The 2024 FIA World Rallycross schedule features ten rounds across five double-header events, with the campaign kicking off in Höljes, Sweden (6-7 July). Following the ‘Magic Weekend’ season-opener, the championship heads to Hungary where the drivers will take on Nyirád’s ‘Red Cauldron’, which steps up to the World Championship for the first time (27-28 July).

Two well-known World RX venues follow in Mettet, Belgium (17-18 August) and Montalegre in Portugal (7-8 September), ahead of an exciting season finale as the series heads overseas to Australia (30 November – 1 December).
Kenneth Hansen, Team Founder of Hansen World RX Team, said: “This season feels different in many ways, so we’re grateful to have Timmy and Kevin continuing with the team.

“Timmy and Kevin have both enjoyed a great start to the year in their other disciplines, and this gives us a lot of confidence as a team going into the World RX season. Just as they have been working hard, so have we back at Headquarters. We have turned all the stones we can to find all the small ways for us to improve. We must keep innovating and trying new things, and this is how the ‘Battle of Technologies’ has come about.

“With sustainably-fuelled combustion cars lining up on the grid we have an intriguing mix, and, for me, it will be very interesting to see how the two different technologies perform throughout the season.”

Kevin Hansen, Hansen World RX Team driver, said: “It’s great to be confirmed for another season in the World Rallycross Championship with the Hansen World RX Team. Our team has such a strong presence in rallycross, and we’ll be drawing on all our history in the sport to take on this 2024 season.

“Last year was a fantastic learning curve for myself and Timmy in different ways. We work well together and that’s also how we can develop the car in the right way. We require the same things, and we have a very similar language when we talk about the car, so we’ll be looking to push development as much as we can throughout this season.”

Timmy Hansen, Hansen World RX Team driver, said: “I’m happy to be racing again this season and to keep my streak alive of having done every race in World Rallycross so far. To be taking on 2024 with Kevin in our ninth season as teammates feels special and gives us both a great foundation to work with.

“It’s a very different season this year. We’ve had two seasons of new electric technology and now, finally, we get to go up against combustion cars and I think that will be a great show for the fans.

“The electric will have some strengths, but so will the combustion – which will be a lot lighter in the regulations - so it will be very interesting and for sure make the championship more unpredictable.”

24-03-22 Swede Andersson returns to RallyX Supercar Lites with JC Raceteknik
Lukas Andersson will return to the RallyX Supercar Lites series for 2024 with JC Raceteknik looking to build on a surprise maiden senior rallycross campaign last year.

Graduating from the Junior Cross Car series last season, having claimed the title in 2021, Andersson stunned regulars by scoring victory on his Lites debut in Denmark and winning three of the four opening rounds of the 2023 season. He ultimately finished the campaign third overall with JC Raceteknik.

Now, building on that experience, 16-year-old Andersson will embark on a second campaign in the single-specification category. To prepare for the new season, Andersson has spent time driving on ice over the winter in Scandinavia, and will test the JC Supercar Lites ahead of the season-opener at Tierp in May.

Andersson’s car will be run alongside JC Raceteknik’s already-announced Supercar programme in the 10-round RallyX series that visits events in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Germany.

Joel Christoffersson, JC Raceteknik Team Principal:
“Lukas impressed a lot of people last season, and he learned a lot. I really believe you learn as much on the bad days as you do when you’re winning, and while of course we want to win every weekend, last season Lukas learned a lot. We will work to help him put all of that leaning together this year, so he can continue making progress. We know he has the speed, he has shown that with winning a number of events, the consistency is important now, and making the best of things when your day is not going so well. JC has a lot of pride in bringing young talents forward from Junior Cross Car and are excited to continue this journey with Lukas.”

Lukas Andersson (SWE):
“Now that I’ve got a bit more experience with the car, I think it will help me to reduce the mistakes I made last year and become more consistent. Apart from a few trips on the ice this winter behind the wheel of old Volvos, I haven’t competed in a single race since the end of last season, I’m making sure that I stay in top shape by taking care of my physical condition. Before Tierp, I’ll do some tests with the car to get my bearings so that I can start the new season in the best possible condition. I know what I have to do if I want to compete with the experienced drivers. My strategy will be the same as last year though – I don’t know how things will work out, but I will do everything I can to be among the fastest. Like everyone else I want to win races, but I also know that I still have a lot to learn in this category. But, the big difference with 2023 is that I can go into the championship knowing that I feel completely at home behind the wheel of this car. I’m going into this with the intention of showing my best weekend – I want to continue to progress and make the most of every moment.”

24-03-19 Hvaal and Öhman set for RallyX Supercar campaign with JC Raceteknik
Hvaal and Öhman set for RallyX Supercar campaign with JC Raceteknik
Rising rallycross star Jens Hvaal and experienced campaigner Mat Öhman will contest a full 2024 RallyX Supercar season with JC Raceteknik, driving a pair of Audi S1 Supercars.

Norwegian ace Hvaal made his Supercar debut in his home round of the RallyX season at Grenland last August and impressed, challenging drivers with far more experience en route to fourth place in the Supercar Pro and victory in the Pro Am Supercar categories.

Having previously raced in Junior rallycoss in Norway, Hvaal followed in his family footsteps with a strong European Championship campaign in the RX3 (Super1600) class last season, running at the front of the order throughout the season, having finished a dream third on his debut in Germany in 2022.

Now, 19-year-old Hvaal will take on some of the best rallycross drivers in the world as part of the booming RallyX series, racing in the Supercar category across the 10-round schedule in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Germany.

Also running under the JC Supercar flag, Mats Öhman claimed wins in the Supercar Pro Am category last season and like Hvaal will have eyes on the title this year. Hailing from the North of Sweden, Öhman will have a ‘home’ round of RallyX too, with the third event of the schedule set to be held at Alvsbyn on the last weekend in June.

Joel Christoffersson, JC Raceteknik Team Principal:
“Jens was very impressive in the first race we did with him last year. He was quick in the test we did before Grenland, but to be honest many drivers can be quick in testing but not transfer that speed to a race weekend. Jens did do that, and we’re excited to work with him this year to give him the best chance of delivering those performances every weekend he gets in the car. Jens and Mats are at two ends of the spectrum in Supercar. Jens is an upcoming talent where he has the speed but needs some more experience and Mats has the experience and the speed, he just needs a little luck for everything to fall into place for him sometimes. Mats wins in Finland last year were incredibly special, and we will work hard to make more of those moments with him in 2024.”

Jens Hvaal (NOR):
“Driving a Supercar is something I never imagined I would be doing this year so I’m really looking forward to start the RallyX season. In Grenland last year I had no expectations, so to start in a final with Johan Kristofferson, Ole Christian Veiby, Sondre Evjen and the two Eriksson brothers is something I would never dreamed of before that race – it was a race I will never forget. This season we have one main target, to get as many laps in the car as possible. Although Grenland went very well, it will be something else for me when you have to drive on new tracks, and I have a lot to learn about a four-wheel-drive car. But, we chose JC because we think it's the best team and everyone in the team is very professional. My cousins ??have been driving for JC before so we already knew Joel, and after Greenland there was no other option than driving with JC this season.”

24-03-15 Confirm your entry for the 2024 season by midnight
While the RallyX championship has already broken the record for the number of drivers registered during the first registration phase, which ran from December 24th to January 25th, there are only a few hours left today for latecomers to send in their entry forms.

While the CrossCar Senior and Junior categories are already fully booked (entries submitted from now on will be placed on a waiting list), there are still a few spots available in the Supercar, Supercar Lites and Open 2WD categories.

However, in order to take advantage of the preferential rates, drivers must register before midnight on Friday, March 15.

After that date, it will still be possible to register at a higher rate until April 25, 2024.

However, given the very limited number of seats available in each category, we strongly encourage you to register now using the link opposite: https://chronomoto.com/rallyx/entry/

24-03-13 RallyX Championship Heads North
The RallyX Championship, presented by Nova Motorsport, is pleased to confirm the addition of Älvsbyn to its calendar.

The legendary Swedish track will welcome RallyX competitors on June 29 and 30 for the third stage of the 2024 season.

Fans may remember the high-voltage duel between Kenneth Hansen and Martin Schanche during the 1994 edition of the FIA European Championship held in the county of Norrbotten, but it will now be up to the RallyX drivers to add to the legend of a track that is a must in the world of rallycross.

In addition to a track that offers a perfect balance between technical and fast sections, the Älvsbyn circuit also stands out for its first turn in loose gravel and its corners that allow for different lines to be used.

After Kalix in 2015, this is the second time in its history that the RallyX championship will head north to Sweden in a unique and particularly idyllic setting.

"As the RallyX championship celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, it's a real pleasure to confirm the addition of the Älvsbyn stage to our calendar," says Andreas Eriksson.

"In addition to a rich historical heritage in the world of motorsport, we are coming to a region where the rallycross culture is extremely strong. With Tierp, Estering, Nysum, Kouvola and now Älvsbyn, our drivers will have the chance to compete on tracks that all have their own special characteristics"

RallyX 2022 champion Viktor Johansson, chairman of the organizing committee, makes no secret of his satisfaction at being able to host the third stage of the 2024 season on his home turf.

"We enjoyed a golden period between the 1990s and 2000s, marked by a round of the European Rallycross Championship in 1994, as well as numerous events in the Swedish Championship at a time when sporting legends such as Kenneth Hansen and Per Eklund were at the height of their glory. So we're more than happy than ever to return to events of this caliber," says Viktor Johansson.

"We have been talking to RallyX for a long time about organizing an event on our track. After Kalix in 2015, there was a mutual interest from the promoter and our organization to bring the championship back to northern Sweden. I'm convinced that we will see some very high quality racing and I'm sure that the public will turn out in force to celebrate the return of RallyX to our region.”

24-03-13 CE Dealer Team targets title tilt with confirmation of 2024 line-up
Rising star and experienced campaigner to lead team’s quest for silverware

CE Dealer Team by Volvo Construction Equipment has its sights set on title glory in the FIA World Rallycross Championship in 2024, after confirming an unchanged driver line-up of multiple event-winner Niclas Grönholm and rising star Klara Andersson.

CE Dealer Team joined the World RX grid two years ago, placing third in the Teams’ standings in its inaugural season before improving to second last year. The forthcoming campaign will herald the beginning of the eagerly-anticipated new ‘Battle of Technologies’, pitting the cutting-edge electric RX1e cars directly against their sustainably-fuelled RX1 combustion counterparts for the first time – a significant milestone in the sport’s evolution.

“I’m incredibly excited about the upcoming season and the opportunity to compete against the best in the world,” enthused Grönholm, a driver with seven career victories to his name at the pinnacle of the dual-surface discipline.

“While winning is always the ultimate goal, I approach each race with humility and respect for the competition. Every season brings new challenges and opportunities for growth, and I’m fully committed to giving my best in the pursuit of success. I can’t wait to hit the track and see what we can achieve together as a team.”

The 27-year-old Finn – son of two-time FIA World Rally Champion, Marcus Grönholm – is targeting a concerted championship bid behind the wheel of CE Dealer Team’s electric PWR RX1e, having finished third in the title table in each of the past three seasons.

Team-mate Andersson made her World RX debut in 2022, since when she has rapidly established herself as a leading protagonist. After making history in Portugal during her rookie campaign – as the first female ever to reach the rostrum in top-flight international rallycross – in Hong Kong last November, the 24-year-old Swede then became the first woman to top a heat session in the series.

“I’m honoured to be confirmed as an official driver again with CE Dealer Team by Volvo Construction Equipment,” commented Andersson, “and thrilled to be part of a team that aims for excellence in rallycross. With our eyes fixed on the Teams’ championship, we are determined to bring our best to every race and lead the team to victory.

“I’m incredibly excited to start my third season in the FIA World Rallycross Championship. This year is going to be really interesting with the ‘Battle of Technologies’, and it will be super-cool to have the finale ‘Down Under’ in Australia! Together, we’re ready to tackle the challenges ahead and make our mark both on and off-track, so let’s make this year special!”

The 2024 World RX action will get underway at CE Dealer Team’s home circuit of Höljes in Sweden – rallycross’ legendary ‘Magic Weekend’ – on 6-7 July.

24-03-12 1 Week On – How Robin Larsson and DRR JC hit the Nitrocross Championship jackpot in Vegas
Reigning Nitrocross Champion Robin Larsson delivered an almost-perfect performance to secure his second-straight Nitrocross Drivers’ Championship title earlier this month, while DRR JC took the Teams’ Championship title at the season-finale in Las Vegas (March 1-2).

Larsson entered the last weekend of the season in the points’ lead as Las Vegas returned to the top-flight rallycross schedule, and secured strong points throughout the opening day of racing, eventually finishing the final in second to DRR JC team mate Fraser McConnell.

Knowing what he needed to do on Saturday, by the end of the Heats and Top Qualifier sessions Larsson had done enough to secure a second crown. Thereafter he stormed to a clean-sweep of the event to underline his second Group E title in style, the points scored by the team also enough to claim the Teams’ Championship title for the second year in a row.

Larsson’s RX Cartel team mate, Norwegian Andreas Bakkerud, showed strong pace throughout the weekend in the sister 1000bhp all-electric FC1-X machine but was out of luck when it came to the results list.

For Fraser McConnell, a stunning victory on Friday and a further strong performance on Saturday, with P4, lifted him to second in the standings, while former World Rallycross Champion Timmy Hansen joined DRR JC in a fourth car and finished third on Saturday and second on Sunday.

Joel Christoffersson, JC Raceteknik Team Principal:
“We went to Vegas to do a job, but knew it would not be easy because Kevin (Eriksson) has been very strong this season. But, Robin was brilliant, the whole team worked together so well as they always do and, in the end, we had the title secured before the end of the final day. That’s when Robin is at his most dangerous, with the points in the bag he was free to drive for the win with no pressure, and he did. It’s brilliant to continue this co-operation with DRR and claim another Drivers’ and Teams’ Championship. Everyone deserves this. Fraser was so good on Friday to win, and Timmy was impressive jumping into the FC1-X for the first time and taking two podiums. We also announced over the weekend that Fraz will stay with us for next season, so we are very happy with taking another title, and already looking forward!”

Robin Larsson (SWE), Group E:
“It feels so good to take the title again. To be in Vegas – it’s such a cool place and it was a brilliant first time there. To get a clean sweep on the second day was a brilliant way to secure the championship, and also to take the Teams’ Championship as a team – it’s been an awesome job the whole season from everybody. A massive thanks to the team, and all the fans that came out!”

Nova Motorsport's acquisition of Cooper's patents ensures continuity of product and service quality, providing competitors with an unrivaled racing experience.

Nova Motorsport's five-year partnership begins with the 2024 season of the eight-round, pan-European RallyX rallycross championship, which kicks off in Sweden on May 10-11. Comprising five categories and headlined by the elite 600 hp Open 4WD class, RallyX represents the ultimate racing environment for Nova Motorsport to demonstrate the technical excellence and competitive superiority of its products.

Nova Motorsport's acquisition of all remaining inventory from the Cooper Tire & Avon Motorsport business, including the world-leading ACB11 rallycross tire, will ensure uninterrupted, consistent service and supply, providing competitors and enthusiasts with an unparalleled racing experience.

Underpinning the Nova Motorsport offering is the highly experienced team assembled by Nova Motorsport founder and Managing Director of the brand's parent company, SPC Group, Paul Hallas. James Weekley, former General Manager of Avon Tires Motorsport, leads Nova Motorsport as Commercial Director. Former Cooper Tire/Avon Motorsport General Manager Paul Coates joins as Contracts Manager and former Cooper Tire/Avon Motorsport Product Technology Manager Matthew Vincent becomes Senior Product Category Manager.

Our technical team has been dominant in this field for three decades and we have a long and highly successful relationship with RX Promotion, so this was the most natural place for Nova Motorsport to begin its motorsports activities utilizing the highly successful Avon Motorsport and Cooper Tire product line.”

"We look forward to growing Nova Motorsport on a global scale and providing the highest quality competition tires. Our commitment to research and development will ensure that our products remain at the forefront of technology and performance in the world of competition and rallycross tires.”

24-02-29 Team OMSE's Quest for Nitrocross Glory
This weekend in Las Vegas the Swedish team led by Kevin and Oliver Eriksson will try to add more prizes to the Team OMSE trophy collection in the final round of the 2023/2024 Nitrocross Championship season.

The moment of truth has arrived for Team OMSE. On the eve of the big event in Las Vegas, Andreas Eriksson's squad can still hope to win both the driver and team titles up for grabs.

To do so, Kevin Eriksson will have to do his utmost to reverse the trend. Second in the standings, 23 points behind leader Robin Larsson, the Swedish driver, who will race under the Kempower banner in a few hours' time, has enjoyed a flawless campaign so far.

In the seven events he has contested so far, Kevin has broken the 60-point barrier five times and has also claimed a total of five podium finishes. However, while he is still waiting for his first win, the two races in Las Vegas will be the perfect time for him to put the pressure on defending champion Robin Larsson.

"Even though it is undoubtedly easier to approach the final race of a championship from the top of the standings, I don't think my status as a hunter is a handicap," says Kevin Eriksson.

"If Robin [Larsson] has a lot to lose and little to gain, I am in the opposite situation. I'm going into this weekend with the advantage of not having to ask myself any questions. For my part, I feel in full possession of my abilities. Our preparation has been very good and I'm happy to be second overall at this stage of the championship".

Oliver Eriksson, for his part, knows that he has a double task. Not only does he have to protect Kevin Eriksson, but above all he has to score as many points as possible to try and close the 75-point gap between Team OMSE and DRR JC in the team championship.

In other words, the battle for the team title is far from over. Indeed, with a perfect weekend, Kevin and Oliver Eriksson can still claim a total of 312 points. A tally that would be more than enough for them to take first place in the overall standings.

"Of course, winning the Nitrocross title would be very special for our whole team," says Oliver Eriksson.

"That's our goal and we're obviously keen to add our name to the Nitrocross honors list. We've had a great season so far, but the chance to win the trophy would be a great reward for all the guys in our team who have worked hard all year to ensure that we still have a chance of winning the title going into the final stage of the championship. Needless to say, we're more motivated than ever to complete our trophy collection."

24-02-28 FIA World Rallycross Championship unveils 2024 calendar
Australia and Hungary join World RX schedule as ‘Battle of Technologies’ begins

The FIA World Rallycross Championship is pleased to present its 2024 calendar, with the exhilarating dual-surface action set to bring fans to their feet as the eagerly-anticipated new ‘Battle of Technologies’ races into life.

For the first time in World RX history, the cutting-edge electric RX1e cars – introduced two years ago – will go doorhandle-to-doorhandle with their sustainably-fuelled RX1 combustion counterparts as they rejoin the fray. This will add another fascinating dimension and an intriguing twist to what is already one of the most thrilling forms of motorsport on the planet.

Ratified by today’s FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting, the 2024 schedule features five double-header fixtures totalling ten rounds, preceded by a standalone FIA European Rallycross Championship curtain-raiser on 8-9 June at Essay in northern France – a circuit that last hosted Euro RX more than a decade ago.

The World Championship then kicks off at Höljes’ legendary ‘Magic Weekend’ in Sweden (6-7 July) – selected as the best event of 2023 at the recent FIA Off-Road Prize-Giving ceremony.

Three weeks later, competitors will head to Hungary, as Nyirád’s famous ‘Red Cauldron’ – which has welcomed Euro RX for the past two seasons – steps up to World Championship level for the first time on 27-28 July.

Two popular World RX venues follow, in the shape of Mettet in Belgium (17-18 August) and Montalegre in Portugal (7-8 September), before the series travels overseas. Discussions are ongoing to add an event in Asia to the calendar in the autumn, ahead of a new season finale in Australia on 30 November – 1 December.

This will mark the first time the championship has set foot ‘Down Under’, as World RX continues to explore new territories following its spectacular city-centre debut in Hong Kong last November.

Arne Dirks, Managing Director, Rallycross Promoter GmbH, said:
“We’re excited to officially present the 2024 FIA World Rallycross Championship calendar. A huge amount of hard work has gone into putting this schedule together, and we must thank all of our stakeholders for their earnest efforts and support.

“With a mixture of traditional rallycross favourites such as Höljes, Montalegre and Mettet, a very well-deserved promotion for Nyirád following two excellent European Championship events, a maiden visit to Australia and a return to France, we have a truly global and compelling calendar sure to whet the appetite of competitors and fans alike – and one befitting of such a landmark season as the ‘Battle of Technologies’ gets underway in style.

“We are looking forward to seeing the RX1e cars back in action for the first time since last summer, and curious to discover how they compare against the sustainably-fuelled combustion cars on the grid. As we all know in rallycross, there will be absolutely no quarter given.

“Looking further ahead, we are already in the advanced stages of finalising next year’s plans, with even more interest from major new markets, so we look forward to confirming and presenting the 2025 World RX dates in due course.”

24-02-21 FC2 project enjoys outstanding success
Since its launch last November, the onging FC2 project has continued its development phase in North America. To date, First Corner has confirmed 15 orders for this revolutionary new concept.

The latest version of the FC2 concept will be unveiled next month in Las Vegas at the final Round of Nitrocross. As a leader in automotive innovation, First Corner is pleased to confirm that development of the FC2 is progressing successfully in North America, where our engineering teams are benefiting from more favorable weather conditions than in Europe at this time of year.

The latest progress in this phase of development allows First Corner to report that the FC2 is ahead of the schedule set by OMSE. Although the car used in the USA still retains the current Supercar Lites bodywork, work continues behind the scenes to achieve the final FC2 design.

The unveiling of the latest version of the development vehicle at the Nitrocross Finals in Las Vegas, scheduled for March 1-2, will be a critical step in the continuions public promotion of the FC2 concept.

Supporting this activity, First Corner recently attended the Autosport show where representatives met with partners and suppliers. The preliminary mock-up of the new FC2 body was made available to potential partners and suppliers through virtual reality glasses, a pioneering initiative that proved a great success at the event.

Since the official launch of the FC2 kits in early January, some 15 orders have been received, with a further 8 under negotiation. Inquiries from both Europe and the USA (Nitrocross) have continued to pour in since the beginning of 2024.

In addition, a ground-breaking partnership between OMSE / First Corner and Racemarket.net, the international renowned Motorsport sales platofom has resulted in the launch of a dedicated web page on Racemarket.net for the resale of redundant components from the upgrade process of Supercar Lites to FC2. This is an innovative recycling program that supports OMSE / First Corner's continious commitment to sustainable motorsports.

Prior to its introduction in the Nitrocross NEXT EVO championship from the 2024/2025 season, five FC2 cars will make their official racing debut in the Supercar class of the RallyX championship from May 2024.

24-02-14 OMSE and First Corner Announce Exclusive Partnership with Racemarket.net
OMSE and First Corner World Leaders in Sustainable Motorsport, Announce Exclusive Partnership with Racemarket.net; Pioneers in the Circular Economy within Motorsports

OMSE and First Corner proudly announces a groundbreaking partnership with Racemarket.net, the globally renowned marketplace for motorsports enthusiasts. This unique collaboration aims to spearhead a circular economy within the motorsport’s community, particularly focused on the upgrade from Supercar Lites to the revolutionary FC2 concept.

The FC2 concept redefines motorsport by creating identical FC2 vehicles through the recycling and reuse of current Supercar Lites. This innovative approach includes the enhancement of existing components and the resale of surplus parts through Racemarket.net marketplaces. The overarching goal is to minimize the carbon footprint of the FC2 while aligning motorsports with environmental sustainability.

This innovative investment reduction program allows Supercar Lites owners to recoup an estimated 30% of their initial investment by recycling surplus parts. These components will be made available for reuse in other racing formulas or by current Supercar Lite owners with a solution enabled by Racemarket.net.

This strategic partnership not only confirms Racemarket.net's position as a global sales hub for the motorsport community but also solidifies OMSE and First Corner as World leaders in sustainable Motorsports. Acting as a bridge between motorsports enthusiasts and innovative programs like FC2, Racemarket.net continues to shape the landscape of motorsports commerce.

“When we first came up with the FC2 concept, we also wanted to come up with an innovative approach to support sustainability within Motorsport” says Andreas Eriksson, CEO at OMSE and First Corner. Our revolutionary cooperation with Racemarket.net is not only the first of its kind within Motorsport, but it’s also the perfect solution we were seeking for our clients, and we look forward to expanding this cooperation further in the future.”

"We are thrilled to be part of this revolutionary endeavour with OMSE and First Corner," says Jure Krapenc, CEO at Racemarket.net. "This partnership not only aligns with our commitment to fostering a circular economy but also underscores our dedication to being the premier sales point for the global motorsport community."

Enlunds motorsport avslöjar idag en betydelsefull utveckling inför säsongen 2024 med Martin Enlund som tar steget upp till en högre nivå inom motorsportvärlden.

Efter en imponerande prestation och framstående insatser i tidigare tävlingar, är Martin Enlund redo att konkurrera på en ny plattform och ta sig an nya utmaningar inom klassen Supercar. Teamet med Martin i spetsen är taggade inför den nya utmaningen men nu väntar en hel del jobb med den nya bilen en Ford Fiesta MK8 byggd av OMSE. Enlunds motorsport planerar just nu försäsongen som kommer att innehålla mycket körning och tester, allt för att vara redo i maj på Tierp arena som är starten av RallyX-serien.

Det är främst RallyX-serien som Enlunds motorsport satsar på under 2024 men hoppas även på inhopp i andra serier.
– Efter fyra år i supercar lites så känns det som ett naturligt steg för oss ta klivet upp till supercar. RallyX-serien håller en väldigt hög klass när det kommer till både konkurrens och event, säger teamchef Roger.

På den klassiska sportfrågan: Hur känns det svarar Martin:
– Jag är otroligt glad att vi har lyckats få ihop den här satsningen. Det är en dröm sedan man var barn att tävla i supercar och nu står vi här. Samtidigt väljer jag att vara ödmjuk inför uppgiften, detta är en 3-års satsning och första året är såklart ett läro-år. Det kommer främst handla om att både jag och teamet ska samla på oss erfarenheter och lärdomar. Men det är ju såklart så.. finns det en lucka så tar jag den, skrattar han.

24-01-25 RallyX celebrates 10th anniversary with record number of entries
As the RallyX championship prepares to celebrate its tenth anniversary and the first of three registration periods comes to an end, promoter RX Promotion has confirmed a record number of drivers for the 2024 season.

As the early bird registration period for discounted entry fees concluded, no less than 94 drivers have already punched their ticket to the 2024 RallyX championship.

"Since registration opened on December 24th, we've had a record number of drivers enter the 2024 championship," says Andreas Eriksson.

"For the first time in the history of the RallyX championship, we've passed the 90-driver mark in just a few days. This is a real success and I'd like to thank everyone involved in the championship for their commitment and for the confidence they have repeatedly shown in us to make our series a rallycross stronghold".

While only 125 places are available for each RallyX event, more than 75% of the field has already secured their entry for the 2024 season.

"We still have two months to reach the target of 125 registered drivers and celebrate the tenth anniversary of the RallyX championship in the best possible way. We see excellent momentum in the Open 2WD category with 13 cars already entered. In CrossCar, no less than 18 juniors have sent in their entry forms, while the number of seniors has already reached 32. In Supercar Lites, we already have 15 cars, while in Open 4WD (Supercar), the 16-driver mark has already been reached, even though we know that many teams will be joining us over the next few weeks and are not yet included in this figure, so this list promises to grow rapidly"

In total, no less than 11 nationalities are currently represented in the RallyX championship, but that number could grow as the second phase of entries is now open until March 15, 2024.

"We expect the last available places to be filled quickly," says Andreas Eriksson.

"Our championship is developing at an incredible pace and it's great for the tracks we work with to know that they can count on highly competitive line-ups. This tenth anniversary of the RallyX championship is definitely shaping up to be a great vintage. But our work doesn't stop there. We're going to use this opportunity to strengthen the position of our championship and thus lay a very good foundation for its future, which has never been more promising in the history of RallyX".

Good to know!
Of the 125 places up for grabs, the first registration phase, which closed on January 24, has already attracted a total of 93 drivers.

The second registration phase begins on Thursday, January 25 and closes on March 15, 2024.

The third and final registration phase will run from March 16 to April 25.
Since December 24, no fewer than 11 nationalities have been registered.

The number of entries by category since December 24, 2023:
Open 2WD: 13 drivers
XC CrossCar Junior: 18 drivers
XC CrossCar Senior: 32 drivers
Supercar Lites: 15 drivers
Open 4WD: 16 drivers

Please note that the maximum number of drivers per event is 125. Entries will be automatically closed once a category has reached its maximum number of entries. Only five reserve drivers may be added to this list.

24-01-24 Ingen VM-runde på Lånkebanen i år
Den endelige terminlisten for årets VM i rallycross er ikke offentliggjort av det internasjonale bilsportforbundet ennå. Men det er klart at det ikke blir VM og EM i rallycross på Lånkebanen på Hell i år.

Styret i selskapet HellRX AS som har vært ansvarlig for den norske VM-runden de siste årene har måttet innse at det ikke er økonomisk grunnlag for å fortsette med arrangementet.
- Fjorårets arrangement fikk et betydelig minusresultat, og med den usikkerheten som er rundt hele VM-serien for tiden så må vi bare innse at vi ikke har mulighet til å være arrangør lenger, sier styreleder i HellRX AS Jan Olav Haarsaker.

HellRX AS eies med 55% av Norges Bilsportforbund, mens de øvrige aksjonærene er lokale aktører i Trøndelag.

Fra Bilsportforbundets side beklager man at det ikke vil være forsvarlig å fortsette VM-festen på Lånkebanen.
- Lånkebanen var EM-arena for første gang i 2011, og da rallycrossen fikk VM-status fra 2014 var Norge og Lånke naturlig vertskapsnasjon og bane. Det har vært noen fantastisk gode arrangement, så det er vemodig at vi må kaste kortene. Publikumsinteressen er for liten, og det er dessverre ikke økonomisk forsvarlig å fortsette. Samtidig med sviktende publikumsinteresse blir kravene til alle internasjonale idrettsarrangement vanskelige og vanskeligere å innfri for små nasjoner som Norge, sier generalsekretær Hallgeir Raknerud i NBF.
