Fantastic bit of news: great to have OMSE back in the World Championship and brilliant to see Robin Larsson get a (very well deserved) seat.
Shame it's not with the Civic, but I guess Honda have no interest in pushing the car in the World Championship.

And it's a shame that they will not use the Fiesta MK8. But still great news . The only teams which didn't announce their plans yet are STARD (with Baumanis?) and DA Racing.

Suspect DA racing is no more as Duborg is now racing for G-FORS and Demoustier is at Loeb racing (presumably in old DA 208). Could always be that Andrea Dubourg and one other could use the other 208 and DS3...

I only just spotted the video, but EKS confirmed the use of the Audi S1 for 2018 with a video earlier today:
EKS RX Official Facebook Page - S1 Launch Video Interesting configuration for the rear of the car. I wondered if Audi Sport might follow in the footsteps of VW Motorsport and relocate everything up front in the car, but the NACA ducts would suggest that the radiator is still in the rear. |

The wing looks so weird and I wonder how good it is. The wing Audi supplied last year was only used one round I think. There has been a rule change as well so they are stuck with it no matter what. Interesting with the intakes on the roof and side windows.

DA Racing were advertising their 208 and DS3 for rent earlier today, either in French championship or Europe.

Anyone have any idea what's happening with Liam Doran and Steve Harris mini RX project, they bought the three JRM Racing minis, haven't heard anything since

Some pretty interested pictures (if you are a Supercar nerd!) posted by Hal Ridge yesterday: No rear mounted radiator on the latest OMSE Fiesta and the inboard suspension setup from the GRC Honda. Interesting configuration for the rear of the EKS Audi as well. I thought that Audi Sport might follow the lead of VW Motorsport and relocate the cooling package up front, but it looks like they have retained the rear radiator. Summary of the first day at Loheac yesterday on the World Rallycross website: http://www.fiaworldrallycross.com/ar...ting-kicks-off Hopefully more information will trickle out after day two today. |

For some reason there are no times ...
PSRX apparently had big problems last year with overheating. |

If they had problems last year then I assume they have made improvements if the 2018 car retains the same configuration. |

It is safe to presume Janis Baumanis will be one of the drivers. I expect DA racing in ERX |

Thanks for the information. I´ve seen on Twitter that Ma Qing Hua is testing with STARD today. Nothing against him, but I hope that we won´t see him, but a real rallycross talent in the second car.

I'm sure I read that they had a screen/grill for the front mount (on the Polo) that they removed at the first round.

Pretty sure Linnemann will run his car himself under the Linnemann Motorsport banner.
