Perhaps I am being overly negative but, despite a lot of people touting it as the future of rallycross, I am not convinced yet.
Obviously big names supporting it and fronted by a driver who should be able to pull in the sponsors to make it work. However I think it is hard to ignore the number of parallels with X-Games/GRC at this stage. I am sure this season will have some well attended events, but the real test for me is whether the series is still here in a couple of years time.
I am also not a fan of the gap jump: no doubt it looks spectacular, but can't help but think it is a very dangerous gimmick...
...but maybe I worry too much!
