    Those interested in WRC might like to look for WRX - World Rally-Cross. Thought to be fair, the 'World' bit is a stretch as only one round is outside Europe.

    Rallycross could be described as short circuit rallying and it has been the home of all those Class B rally cars that were too dangerous to use for rallying. In the top class, it's four wheel drive, ultra short gearing and around 600hp in a small hatchback, so acceleration is lightning quick - even a 1 litre sports bike has to work hard to stay ahead on tarmac: the ultimate drag race.

    But the thing that those here may be interested in is the contestants. Chicherit from the Dakar Mini has announced he will be doing it, Petter Solberg did it last year, and you may have heard of Ken Block and Jacques Villeneuve....

    I imagine this won't get TV coverage in the US but if it does it should be worth watching. If you like a bit of mud splatter.

    FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy.

    I hadn't heard of World Rallycross. Been trying to follow Global Rallycross, though. 'Global' is about the same sort of stretch as 'World' but in reverse, sort of, as only two rounds (I think) are hosted outside the Americas. There are a few videos, etc, in this thread.
