Just had a quick look at last year's event, 2 more supercars and a massive 12 more super1600. Would be great if that many turned up to Lydden (and expect at least 30+ supercars at Lydden too). Positive numbers to start a venue which has historically had low entries.
Will the Lites be there too? |

World Rallycross Championships
The FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy will be broadcast live and in full for the first time on free-to-air television in the UK and Ireland in 2016. Quest has secured a deal to broadcast all 12 Championship rounds live on Sunday afternoons. In addition, the highlights show will be available to watch on ITV4 the following Tuesday evening and on Eurosport.
Last year Quest broadcast the highlights on Monday evenings with the final round in Argentina shown live on the channel. ITV4 – part of the ITV network – has not shown rallycross previously but has agreed to air World RX Championship highlights at 8pm on Tuesday evenings. Eurosport has committed to broadcast World RX highlights for the third year in a row. Quest is available on Freeview channel 37, Sky on 144 or Virgin on 172. ITV4 can be viewed on Freeview channel 24. Eurosport 1 is available on Sky channel 410, Virgin Media 511 and BT TV 412. Eurosport 2 is on Sky channel 411, Virgin Media 525 and BT TV 413. |

More Supercars and S1600 than last years, but no Lites... will be more gaps between heats. Nobody knows what happens with Gigi Galli?

Interest in WRX has gone away?
Have to admit only watched it a couple of days ago. Strong start for Solberg. Great to see Larsson in 2nd place. |

A slightly controversial start to the year, but a great start for Solberg. I thought that Petter's team might be overwhelmed by the competition (and the results on Saturday weren't a great start), but it seems that the DS3 is still competitive. I really hope Solberg can make it three in a row this year, to win with the level of competition this year would be great, especially if he is to move on to something else next year.
Good debut for the Focus RS RX in the hands of Bakkerud. I was expecting a lot more from Block, hopefully he will deliver at round 2. Decent start for Loeb. Made the final and looked to have the pace to challenge the front runners, so hopefully more to come from him as well. |

Well he probably has the best engine and is the best driver in the field so not too unexpected, if he just takes the start then the race is pretty much finished. Had hoped that Ekström would make into the final but was takes out by Hansen ...
Block had a lot of technical problems, ending one heat with a computer malfunction that made the throttle stuck at 100 %. He will probably do better I hope during the rest of the season. |

Still, Petter has deeper pockets (and I suspect a lot more industry contacts) than most privateers! |

Well, Solberg started to up the game with bigger trucks and fancier stuff, so I don't see him as just a privateer. Ford will come on strong, strange that only American spotlight caught the factory's attention, as Ford drivers have been around for years! Disappointed to see the Swedish Polo's now merged together.

It is sad with two cars gone but it was probably for the better. It is odd though that there only will be five different Polos built by them that competes in ERX and WRX since I believe there are some more cars that they have built in the past. |

Foust will do two rounds too if I remember correctly, Lydden and Estering. If he competes I guess he gets a Polo from them as well. At least I counted Marklund, Kristoffersson, Linnerud, Coox and maybe (it is one car at least) Veiby or Foust that I remembered just know. |
