World Rallycross R7 - Trois Rivieres, Canada
Anyone know which cars have been shipped, and any other wildcards expected?

Some weeks ago they had it about Canadian wildcards in the Lites category...
Think that only the permanent 6 WRX teams (= 12 drivers) will be there, plus a very few single drivers like Foust, Tohill and Carpentier. Think to remember that Petter had it about a new teammate from Canada on... Plus one of the GRC teams...? |

DeJong is going to be there in the Lites I heard but not sure. Isn't Jos Jansen going there also?

Yeah, understood that JJ will be there as well. Maybe his first chance to make it straight into the Semis...

They planned on having two cars at least and to be eligible for manufacture points again.

For Sweden and Belgium Hvaal is still part of PSRX for the team championship countings, but from Canada on he shall be replaced by one or different to be named driver(s). Team Principal Petter Solberg stated on Friday morning to the press: “This weekend PSRX is also set to start with two cars for the team championship, but Alexander Hvaal has decided to run his own Rallycross car in the next two races (Höljes and Mettet), after the expected results are missing so far this season. I wish Alex luck, it’s been nice to have him in the team, and it will be interesting to see his further development.” |

It would be interesting to see Andrew Comrie-Picard as wildcard.

It was mentioned during the Mettet livestream that the container for Canada was leaving the Tuesday after the Belgium race, so the PSRX mechanics wouldn't have long to fix Solberg's car before it had to go on the ferry. It was suggested that he might use Hvaal's car in Canada whilst his car remained in Europe. |

I was surprised that Petter didn't ask Derek Tohill to be the second driver at Mettet, he would have had the chance to score points and avoid the fine of only running one car.

Good point. Wonder if current rules would hinder that... A team must have two cars of the same make and model and one permanent driver, while the second driver can be changed from round to round.

Eddi, i think all drivers who have signed as permanent can go there. Jos Jansen will also race in Canada for example.

Yeah, why not? But between "can go there" and "will be there" is a difference.

In one of the articles I read I'm sure part of the deal to sign as a full time driver included the overseas travel, which could make a difference to JJ going.

Will be intriguing to see Sverre Isaachsen back in an FIA event. Chuffed Tanner has entered too. Shame no Block with the event being in North America.

Link to the entry list for anyone who hasn't seen it:
http://www.rallycrossrx.com/article/...-list-revealed As CS1 says, an interesting move for Henning (I had wondered if he might become the PS RX number 2). Great to see a Subaru participating in a World Rallycross event. I doubt Subaru USA would fund a World Rallycross program, but I hope their participation wakes Subaru in Europe up to the idea of more official involvement with rallycross (I won't get my hopes up though, as the marketing here is pretty crap!). |

Nice to see Isachsen. So the Subaru is built according to FIA rules. Shame there are not more GRC drivers like Block, Piquet and specially local driver Arpin. |

I didn't think there was any issue there? Though perhaps being the second driver in your younger brothers team could be a bit awkward. Maybe Henning is still annoyed about Petter flipping him on TV:

Following Liam's Facebook I understood he is a father to a Californian baby child now...
