There are a lot of similarities between GRC and what becomes WRX (I refuse to call it rallycross).
IMG have moved rallycross away from existing venues to places that are near big urban areas on temp carpark tracks like Mettet, Barcelona, Hockenheim. This is exactly what GRC tried to do with a much bigger emphasis on being near big areas buit also a lack of understanding of what rallycross really was. THe water on track at NASCAR venues was pathetic for instance.
THey have introduced jumps, and daft joker laps and team racing, all from GRC.
I think it could still work, but it needs to work with CORR or something as right now it is dead and now Eriksson has gone to Honda his support will probably soon lean off, now it's fine as he built the cars and supplies the parts, but once that dies so will GRC.
And IMG couldn't care less as it will then mean they can take their beloved marketing garbage to the place that will eat it up for breakfast, dinner and tea for 20 dollars, diabetes and an extra large. You will lose Euro rounds to get there as IMG are American and want it to work there above all, and it probably will.
