This is what this is all about ultimately. MONEY !!!!!
Only regret that responsible people in europe have not put so much effort all those years to make rallycross such a spectator sport. On the contrary.
Actually, this is not a Global rallycross, but American rallycross promoted by European drivers.
A Global (World) Championship, would be a championship where riders from all over the world, should run races on all continents.
Something like the WRC,WTCC,LeMans series will not only competed in Asia as well!!
Nice for the teams that they finally make money, along with the entire entourage around rallycross.
Yet it is sad for the European rallycross loyal fans who will actually be left in the cold with the strange feeling that their pilots no longer want to drive before them.
Finally, I like to see the possitive side to it.
As it stands in Europe next year will be driven to a place behind the Hansen-Citroens.(maybe later they still follow)
Amateur teams can drive themselves more in the spotlight.
Perhaps a return to a bit more home-made material instead of super expensive factory equipment.
Hopefully, the level of drivers wil be close ,so we can at least have surprising exciting and spectacular races.
