In 2011, the ERC spec engines were slightly higher than the GRC ones. Think that will change in 2012 given the new engine rules in the ERC. The higher output figures are for marketing purposes. Not as many purists here checking the facts!
Don't think any historic tracks will feature in 2013 as ESPN want to keep this in the streets as much as possible and learnt that the closer rallycross is to the X Games venue the better it is for sponsors and production logistics.
I am sure the FIA will take notice. But they will also recall the battle with CART in the early 1990's. American laws re restriction to work are very different from Europe and the FIA learnt that fighting the US could be very expensive and painful.
Roll on April 15 when the talking stops and we get the cars out. Not heard anything on Liam for RX but know the off-road guys love him! Did Citroen care that he won X Games?
