Rallycross Silly Season is Almost Over – Almost

_DSC0973 copy

There are still some highlighted rows on my rallycross spreadsheet meaning that there are still some Silly Season shenanigans to report. Red Bull Global Rallycross still has some time before the first race in Phoenix, Arizona May 21-22, and there could yet be a surprise or two in Supercars based on off-handed comments on social media. What is definite:

  • As revealed at New York International Auto Show, OMSE teammates Joni Wiman and Sebastian Eriksson will switch from Ford Fiestas to Honda Civics
  • CORE Autosport will assemble a team of two GRC LITES drivers yet to be announced

The first FIA World RX is coming up April 15 in Montelegre, Portugal. The Supercar entry list has solidified with a few last-minute changes:

  • Liam Doran has switched to MINI with JRM Racing
  • Rene Munnich and Reinis Nitiss also have new rides for 2016 – Seat Ibiza RX
  • Timmy Hansen will compete with Team Peugeot-Hansen driving a Peugeot 208 WRX
