SuperCharge, new electric rallycross (?) series

[FIRE]

Came across this today:

This afternoon saw the presentation of SuperCharge, a new global motorsport series with electrically powered SUVs, due to start in 2022. The organization, led by co-founder Rob Armstrong, who has experience from Formula 1 and the World Rallycross Championship, is planning eight events for the first season in cities in Asia / Pacific, China, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. The other founder is Max Welti, who earned his spurs in leading motorsport positions at Porsche, Volkswagen and Lamborghini, among others, and was also team manager at Sauber in sports cars and Formula 1.

a 2.5-meter ramp, so that the cars go up to ten meters high every lap. We know similar scenes from American 'stadium trucks'. Low friction zones, where drifts and slips are possible, are also part of the plans, as is a sprinkler installation above the course. The last element is the 'SuperLoop', similar to the joker lap in rallycross, which must be used once per race. The competition format is also similar to rallycross with initially 16 cars from eight teams and then a quarter and semifinal and final system, all with fast, short races with a maximum of six laps.

Rob Armstrong was until 2017 involved with IMG.
Holzer Engineering, who have a past in STW and DTM will develop the cars.

The Argentine Super TC2000 had two-car races, and there were often chaotic.


Low friction and wet zones doesn't sound environmentally friendly, but neither do 500 kW SUVs.
