No, it isn't a world championship really with eight (seven) out of ten races in Europe. But it would be something and a start. And rallycross is actually a "european thing" with tracks, car builder etc. So having races in every continent could backfire if it isn't acknowledged or to expensive with IMG helping costs.
The biggest worry with a world championship would be the costs. With a race in every continent, the costs would fly away. In the end we would probably only have manufactures racing, with privateers here and there driving only there home race maybe. Manufactures would also make the costs bigger with cars a lot better than the private cars built today, making the privateers forced to quit. The cars regulations is a lot more free than the current WRC regulations for example and what is a full-manufacture Mitsubishi (just an example) with maybe a 30 million euro a year budget towards today's privateer like Peter Hedström with 500 000 euro? And Hedström have pretty much for a rallycross driver today.
You can't have a real world championship without some kind of interest from track organizers and countries to organize a race. If there isn't any organizers anywhere, what's the point with a race in every continent. Formula 1 has plenty of interests for example and that's a real WC. But the amount of money there never ends though
