2019 Americas Rallycross Championship (ARX)
Not seen much on this yet, but I have just read a post from Steve Arpin on Facebook:
Facebook - Steve Arpin Racing
Confirming that his team (Loenbro) will revert to the Fiesta ST for 2019.
An interesting move and, perhaps I am reading too much into it, but seems like confirmation that the Fiesta is the superior platform to the Focus.

Not sure why they are bothering, but then again the big series is hardly striding forwards!!

Foust is pulling together another season with Volkswagen and Andretti. Apparently, Volkswagen of America has changed its marketing focus to FOOTBALL but wanted to remain involved in rallycross.

Less than 2 weeks till round 1. There are 7 Supercars and 3 RX2s (with one of them only doing 3 rounds). I'm surprised that Honda haven't stepped up along with other GRC manufacturers that left. I know the reason Hyundai left was because GRC wasn't stable but IMG seem to be.
Mid Ohio course doesn't look great either. I'm going to guess they'll only have 3 rounds this year.

May as well call it quits now. The whole series felt rushed to me last season, and I think it's still suffering from that.

14 year old in ARX(2)! They lowered the age limit to 14 this year so Gray Leadbetter can compete the whole season. That makes 4 ARX2 for round 1 with 7 supercars. Also ARX3 is a thing and will race at Mid Ohio (and I think most rounds) but no idea about the entry list size.

Yeah, I definitely agree with the rushed element last year. If the racing is close I'll probably tune in this year, but I do wonder how long it can last with the entry numbers they are talking about at the moment.
