So Foust, Speed and Hyundai are in. Good!

It's interesting to see New York, Washington and Daytona in the calendar.

Round of the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship is going on a sunny Holiday, well done Mr Cozier
Not me, it's a one-off deal done between Top Gear and GRC to happen on a temporary course at Bushy Park race circuit as part of the Top Gear show.

The permanent RallyCross circuit in BDS is at Vaucluse Raceway where we hosted the 2006 Barbados RallyCross International.

Strongest lineup in world of rallycross? I rate the level of ERX/WRX higher.
Don't get me wrong, for a relative new series their quality of the grid is very good (tracks is a different story).

Thanks for explaining. I'm curious- who do you think the best drivers in GRC are?

I'm hoping that the starts are better this year. I hate watching everyone crashing into each other in the first corner.

I had a feeling it was going to be Scott Speed. It's going to be odd seeing Tanner Foust in a VW. I can't wait to see the cars though!

Tanner Foust, GRC champion in 2011 and 2012 and runner-up in 2013, will drive the Rockstar Energy Drink Beetle.
Agh! I have an irrational hate of Beetles. Maybe this will get me over it?

Or maybe not!

I remember his rally days when he was running Subaru's. The move is just as much a reflection as to Ford's shifting some focus to World RX as it is, a tough season last year.

Not the biggest fan of the Beetle, either, but yeah, that car is great.

It does say they will begin the season in the Polo (which I think will look pretty cool in the Rockstar livery) before switching to the Beetle.

I'm not a big fan of the new Beetle anyway, but even trying to put my own personal bias aside I think that looks bloody awful!

(Still, at least its another different car on the grid)

I can't wait to see the Polos. The Beetle might be the only car out there that'll look better after a couple of rounds of bumper car... excuse me, GRC.

I'm wondering if a livery tweak for the Beetle would have helped? I mean, it's the same one that was on the Fiesta and it was designed for (to look good on) the Fiesta. I understand that the sponsors need to be on the car... (I'm not explaining what I mean very well.) For me at least, I see that livery and expect to see the Fiesta, so seeing on the Beetle throws me a bit.

Foust, Speed, Deegan and of course Isachsen.

I don't get exited about the looks of the Beetle but it's great to see it on the grid.

Andretti will develop the car inhouse?

Does this mean no Deegan this year?

I haven't heard anything about Deegan in GRC this year. I think he's doing http://www.lucasoiloffroad.com/ rather than GRC.

I'm not saying he won't this year. I just can't find anything saying he's taking part in GRC. (Admittedly, I've only had a very brief look.)

I am completely freaking disgusted by some of the comments on Facebook about Tanner Foust's new car. I'd say 90% of them are people calling it gay which makes me want to start throwing things.

Just saw this:

Scott Speed's car is interesting...

Great lineup by Andretti! Michael is serious when he goes racing.

I loved the old New Beetle's front end and the current rear end.

Subaru will feature Sverre Isachsen and Bucly Lasek in 2014, plus Travis Pastrana at the X Games Austin.

I saw that too. So so far we have:

Scott Speed- Polo/Beetle
Tanner Foust- Polo/Beetle
Sverre Isachsen- Subaru
Bucly Lasek- Subaru
Travis Pastrana- Subaru (X-Games only)
Ken Block- Ford Fiesta? (Suspect that's a yes.)
Joni Wiman- Fiesta
Patrik Sandell- Fiesta
Toomas Heikkinen- ? (I know I read what he was driving somewhere. I just can't remember.)

Who am I missing?

Rhys Millen will be back with 2 Hyundai's I believe plus Pat Moro will have at least one Chevy Sonic. I think the Doran/Mirra MINI went back to Prodrive but may be not.

I haven't heard anything but know that there were several folk looking at OMSE Fiesta's to run outside of OMSE in 2014.

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to this season. Sounds like there's a decent spread of cars this year. I just hope the track problems are sorted out.

Yes, the Seattle at event is at Dirtfish Rally School in Snoqaulmie.

Have very happy memories of that place. AE convinced he could win on 3 wheels but some great two-wheel drive races and commentating with Brad J on a scaffold that I was sure was trying to kill me. Oh and driving through the warehouse in a rally school Impreza and almost wiping out at the end while being filmed for an ESPN piece.

Ah happy days!

thx for the info , last years we went each time when we were staying in Lynnwood. we always stop at the very Original hamburger restaurant in Snoqualmie before heading to North Bend shopping. It is really a nice area! We might consider going to America again :-) since we have friends living in Everett
