THey tried it many years ago, it was called the Olympus Rally and it was an abject failure, the works teams hardly bothered with it, and it quickly became a round to miss.

Stages were nice, but unless you combine it with a round in South America (Argentina,Mexico) and put them a week apart I cant see it ever working.

Besides it isnt ESPN, Block, Crash happy enough for most yanks, they prefer things like mud bog racing

The Spanish race will be held at the Barcelona Olympic Stadium on May 19, one week after the Spanish Grand Prix. Aside from hosting the 1992 Olympics, it was the Espanyol home in the 2000s, Super League (rugby league) matches and music concerts by Marilyn Manson, AC/DC, Shakira and Bon Jovi in the past few years.

Before Spain we have to go through Brazil and that course looks very interesting. It's location is also a long way from anywhere! Our advance is getting their shots and heading off shortly.

I will go once they have figured it out!

Strange, as Petter has claimed to the Norwegian press that only IMG could make him return to Rallycross.
And to us at ERC24 Petter said during a recent phone call that he will not take a decision before end of January.

I for myself think that Petter is currently to decide between IMG RX and WTCC and the chance is 50:50.

Only thing that is true is that he will drive rallycross
No for but citroen
Not sure of he will drive grc but as it looks now he drive IMG/ERC and x-games....

But ok GRC is still an option...
But at the moment you were not even close.

May 18 - Barcelona
July 13 - New Hampshire
July 20 - Bristol
August 3 - Los Angeles
August 11 - Atlanta
September 22 - Charlotte
October 20 - Sema

(No Munich, that's confirmed.)

That document also says: "2013 Rallycross Battle of Champs, November 22-23, Stockholm, Sweden"

Shame to read about Gronholm, was hoping he'd at least be back in the GRC in 2013, if not Europe as well. Looks like that isn't happening now.

Gotta be honest, would you really put your life in danger to that extent again, for fun? I don't blame him really, he is getting involved in rallying again maybe?

I wouldn't trust the people putting this together again after last year, so why should a bloke trying to have fun.

No, would be the short answer! Although I daresay I'm not as hard on the GRC as many on this forum, I think its hard to argue that the track design isn't more dangerous than the ERC, for someone doing it for fun the risk must outweigh the reward.

Its a massive shame that Gronholm's experience in the US has seemingly completely put him off rallycross, I was really hoping to see him racing in the UK again.

I see some rally websites are reporting that Gronholm is testing a MINI WRC in the near future? Not seen any solid facts to support that yet though!

Testing and mentoring is no competition, innit?
I doubted already last year that he would race again, and I still do.
Understood there was more at X Games than PR later told.

Munich is on the schedule.

I don't think Marcus has hung up his helmet for good just taking a pause in 2013. He is still busy and in high demand!

Such a shame to lose Marcus to rallycross, will never forget his 2 wheel "moment" round north bend at Lydden (surprised the americans didnt try to recreate that with some kind of ramp! ) and would have been someone who would have given the IMG championship a boost it needs.

I silll think the organisors of the Xgames/GRC have alot to answer for for what happened last year but Im sure they will have learnt a lesson and improved safety hugely this year.

Worst 24 hours of my motorsport life was that day in Los Angeles. A little piece of my rallycross heart went away that night. No fun to see your friend in that condition.

You have probably joined up the dots but Best Buy Mobile will not run a team in GRC this year. Thoroughly enjoyed our wins in Irwindale, Pikes Peak, Lydden, Charlotte and Texas and working with drivers like Marcus, David, Andreas and Timur.

It has been a blast!

I hadn't actually joined the dots on that, so thanks for posting! Does that mean no David Binks in the 2013 GRC then?

Hi guys.

Im so going to follow GRC this year with Sverre isachsen, Petter Solberg and Ken block in focus.

Im wondering if Sverre is getting the sedan Impreza. Thats a big car i believe.

The car seemed to be down on power last year so i hope he has been doing the analysis and seen that the american tracks are more power hungry than hes winning resipies for the european races.

Btw. How will i be able to watch these races? is there someone uploading these races to pirate bay or a streaming service or anything?
