about World rx
The FIA World Rallycross Championship (World RX) delivers thrilling head-to-head racing on diverse surfaces of dirt and asphalt, all within stadium-like venues. The 2025 season showcases a captivating ‘Battle of Technologies’ as sustainably-fueled combustion engine (ICE) cars compete alongside the all-electric (EV) RX1 cars. This dynamic format prioritizes intense battles for position, with championship points awarded after each heat, semi-final, and final, ensuring flat-out action on every lap. Since its debut in 2014, World RX has raced on iconic rallycross circuits, adapted Formula 1 venues, and vibrant city centre locations like downtown Hong Kong.

Race Format & Points System
The series currently consists of 5 two-day events driven on closed circuits with mixed surface (mostly asphalt and gravel). Each event consists of:
- 4 Qualifying heats. In each of the 4 series there are smaller races containing 3 to 5 cars, and the driver with the fastest overall race time after 4 laps (including one Joker Lap) is declared the qualifying winner of Q1, Q2, Q3 and/or Q4. Drivers earn ‘intermediate points’ based on their positions. After the 4 qualifying series, the points are added up and the 12 drivers with the most points in the ‘intermediate standings’ move into the next round.
- 2 Semi-Finals. 6 cars race in each of both semi-finals, which are run over 6 laps (incl. one Joker Lap). The top 3 drivers in each semi-final move into the final round.
- Final. Like the semi-finals, this race is contested by 6 cars over 6 laps (incl. one Joker Lap). The winner of the final is deemed to be the event winner. However, the final winner has not necessarily claimed the most championship points from the whole event.
Categories
During the first FIA World Rallycross Championship season in 2014, two classes were run, Supercar (later RX1) and the supporting RX Lites series (later RX2). RX Lites teams raced identical cars prepared by OlsbergsMSE. The World RX Championship series was introduced to distinguish it from the FIA European Rallycross Championship, which has been contested since 1976 and was renamed in March 2013.
An electric category was planned to be introduced in 2020, but it was announced in August 2018 that the introduction of a fully electric Championship would be delayed until 2021 to allow manufacturers more time to submit an interest to join following the rules change. Instead, the Projekt E class was run in 2020 as a special parallel series using a spec racer. FIA announced in August 2020 that RX2e would be replacing the RX2 category for the 2021 season. The top World Rallycross Championship series switched to electric cars (RX1e) in August 2022, making World RX an all-electric race series.
There are two World Rallycross Championships and two European Rallycross Championships:
- FIA World Rallycross Championship, using cars from the RX1e class
- FIA Euro RX1 Rallycross Championship, using cars from the RX1 class
- FIA RX2e Rallycross Championship, using cars from the RX2e class
- FIA Euro RX3 Rallycross Championship, using cars from the RX3 class
