There are tons of racing circuits in the world right now, but the fastest rising one in the U.S. is the Global RallyCross Championship
circuit. You have super-fast cars on multiple surfaces (dirt, mud,
sand, pavement, etc.) with little room to maneuver, plus they throw in
obstacles and and ramps. No, we don’t mean relatively cushy dirt jumps
in regular rally circuits. We mean ramps with huge gaps between them. So, who can blame us for falling in love with it?
It
looks like the FIA is a little envious of the GRC and is planning to
start its own international global rallycross circuit. With this
potential entry into globalizing its rallycross circuit, the FIA is
rumored to have forbid its drivers to participate in GRC. This would
take some pretty high-level names out of the GRC, like Ken Block,
Sebastien Loeb, Tanner Foust, and Liam Doran. To make matters worse,
Tanner Foust is actually the points leader in the 2012 season, so that
would be a major shakeup if the ban comes mid-season.
As
we said, these are just rumors right now, but with multiple sources
spreading the same whispers, there is likely some truth behind it. We
have shipped off an email to GRC to get a quick statement and to see if
there is any truth behind this, but we really doubt that they will
confirm or deny the rumors.
For now, we just have to kick back and wait to see if the FIA follows through with this ban and if it’ll affect the 2012 season.
