2025 RallyX - Expansion outside Scandinavia

[FIRE]

RallyX North
As always, the RallyX championship will be the benchmark series with RallyX North organised around ten races on five of the most spectacular Rallycross tracks. Riga in Latvia will host the first round of the championship on the 9th and 10th of May.

At the end of June, RallyX will return to the iconic Alvsbyn circuit in Sweden. The third event of the championship and rounds 5 and 6 in July will be announced shortly.

Rounds 7 and 8 will be held at the spectacular Nysum circuit in Denmark. The season 2025 will end with a big final in August at Estering, Germany.

As usual, RallyX North will bring together Open 4WD with the new FC2 cars, Supercar Lites and Open 2WD categories, as well as the Crosscar Senior and Crosscar Junior classes.

RallyX South
RallyX South will develop from 2025 with a total of four events and 8 races with a calendar that will kick off at the end of March in Portugal, Montalegre.

A week later, the RallyX South drivers will enjoy a second round on a venue to be announced shortly before heading to the historic Valkenswaard circuit in the Netherlands on 26th and 27th of April.

Finally, RallyX South will end its tour in Germany, at the Estering on 9 and 10 August for a Super Final that will award the titles of RallyX South and RallyX North and crown a RallyX Euro Champion.

For RallyX south, RX Promotion has chosen to retain the Open 4WD together with the new FC2 cars, Supercar Lites, CrossCar Senior and CrossCar Junior categories, while the Open 2WD drive category will be adapted to the specific regional characteristics of the Rallycross market.

RallyX Euro
As part of its expansion plans, RX Promotion and RallyX will also offer a RallyX Euro League, which will bring together all the events of RallyX North and South.

A total of 16 races, spread over eight tracks, will be used to determine the RallyX Euro Champion during a super final that will be held on August 9th and 10th at Estering in Germany.

RallyX Global
RX Promotion will launch its Global League in February 2025, with the first promotional event taking place in the United States, before moving to Europe by joining forces with some of the existing RallyX events.

A Global Grand Final will be held in North America in early September 2025 and will reveal the identity of the world stars of RallyX.

RallyX Americas
Finally, from October 2025, we will tackle the Americas market with a calendar of five to six events at the rate of one race per month until March 2026.

Here, the categories selected will be adapted to the specifics of the local market, with FC1, FC2 and FC3 vehicles, while other classes from RallyX such as Open 2WD, CrossCar Senior and CrossCar Junior together with guest classes will offer the perfect combination of motorsport.

All the different leagues make it a bit complex but these guys know rallycross.

I hadn't read about this expansion.

Today, Tanner Foust was announced to enter the Montalegre round on March 29-30.

Tommi Hallman: “For now, the plan is to compete in RallyX South, with Montalegre, Valkenswaard and Estering. Beyond that, we’ll be looking at our options, starting with the Kymiring event in Finland, which is certainly an interesting opportunity for us. But these are decisions we’ll take in the coming weeks.”

I have said it elsewhere, but I'll say it here as well; my big concern with RallyX is expanding too quickly and ending up spread too thin.

The series has been fantastic the last few years and they seemed to have struck a good balance so far, so I am sure they are smart enough to have carefully considered each move before making it.

I am a little less enthused about Open 4WD (no disrespect, but the FC2 doesn't have the same appeal to me as a Supercar), but some good drivers confirmed for the season opener, so that might sway me.

Open 2WD entry looks immense. Really hope that class has some momentum this year.
