FIA World Rallycross Championship adjusts 2021 calendar
• Amended fixture list confirmed for World RX and European RX series
• Headline World RX category features eight rounds at seven venues
• Germany’s Nürburgring hosts action-packed double-header
• Inaugural RX2e electric championship to star at six race weekends
Munich, – An amended 2021 calendar for the FIA World
Rallycross Championship has been revealed today by WRC Promoter.
Eight World RX rounds for spectacular Supercars will be held at seven
classic venues in Europe – Norway, Sweden, Spain, Germany, France,
Latvia* and Belgium – between mid-June and mid-October.
The headline category will be supported at six of the seven race
weekends by the first ever RX2e championship for electric cars.
The FIA European Rallycross Championship for RX1 and RX3 cars
(formerly Supercar and Super1600) will be held at a mix of circuits within
the main calendar.
This season marks the last of the Supercar era in World RX which will
switch to new all-electric RX1e cars in 2022. The 500kW cars are set to
become the fastest electric racers in the world and will showcase the
performance possibilities of electric vehicles.
The continued challenges of the pandemic required pragmatic and
strategic decisions regarding the calendar structure. It has been
condensed and territorially contained to comply with health protocols
and travel restrictions.
A return to a more global fixture list containing a greater number of
rounds will be the aim for 2022.

WRC Promoter managing director Jona Siebel predicted an exciting
season for both competitors and World RX fans.
“The calendar has been revised with the support of the World RX teams
to ensure a fitting finale for the Supercars ahead of the start of the
exciting electric era in 2022. We want maximum participation, whilst
retaining a mouth-watering array of the best circuits,” he explained.
“We’ve made a strategic decision to start midway through the year to
give organisers every possible opportunity to open their doors to fans in
these challenging Covid-19 times.
“World RX fans are renowned for creating an exceptional atmosphere
during race weekends and, along with individual country organisers,
we’re doing all we can to provide the best chance of welcoming them.”
The 2021 championship in detail
The season kicks-off at Norway’s sweeping Hell circuit for the first time
on 12 – 13 June and crosses the border into Sweden for the second round
at the iconic Höljes track three weeks later.
The series moves south to the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit in late July for
Spain’s fixture, which will run to a new Friday / Saturday evening format.
Germany’s Nürburgring, nestled in the forests of the Eifel mountains,
makes its World RX debut the following weekend. Based around the
Müllenbachschleife amphitheatre section of the illustrious circuit, the
track stages two rounds on consecutive days in the World RX category.
Early September takes competitors to Lohéac in west France, ahead of a
planned return to the ever-popular Riga track in Latvia* for the
penultimate fixture a fortnight later. Belgium’s Spa-Francorchamps
circuit hosts the season finale in October.
