Going to FIRE’s point, I’d like the world idea succeed, but I was astonished that the series even went ahead this year at all, let alone the fact that they’re planning another season. What I always seem to forget is that most of World RX’s consistent locations are in Europe. They could probably get away with still going to Istanbul and Killarney under a European title as they’re not too far away for teams to travel. It would be a shame for Trois-Rivières, but they haven’t been there for years. |

Interesting idea, kind of reminds me on how the Euro RX participants used to run in the same heats as the World RX, but the European competitors would score in their own championship.

Let's be frank here, this is a series that is struggling to see its future.
They are so desperate they are going to places like Coventry instead of proper tracks, the driver base is very very thin, and were it not for the support series like ERX and a few others the entire thing would have fallen away. |

Just seen that Patrick O'Donovan is entering the final World RX round (in his Peugeot 208) so at least that is one more car on the grid. |

Last I heard Istanbul was being used as a car park for some reason.
It has not been used as a race track for a very long time and I think a lot of this is trying to use events to generate income to force it to open. Very odd, probably linked to a no fee clause if the event does not happen. |

Thanks for the updates, I didn’t know that the second replacement might be under threat too. If the track is already being used as a car park, they might not be using the rallycross track at present, hence the idea of racing there. Fingers crossed it goes ahead, so we can have some closure at the end of the season (and to see how O’Donovan gets on against the World RX grid).
