Rallycross

Nitro Rallycross is set to launch a dedicated championship complete with a category for electric cars.

Watch Ken Block test his first electric rallycross car, the Ford Fiesta ERX.

We've had the Red Bull Global Rallycross series here in the States since 2009. What we haven't had, however, is the FIA World Rallycross series. That changes in 2018, as the 10th event in the 12-event championship series lands in Texas this September. It kicks off a five-year run that sees the...

A hand touches my shoulder from behind as I hear, “Are you ready?” I turn to see legendary rally driver John Buffum standing with two race helmets, sizes large and medium. Before I can open my mouth to answer, the calm, crisp 27-degree Wisconsin winter air is violently filled with the...

If you need any more reason to watch the video above than Walter Röhrl and a pair of 600-hp Audi rally cars, you might want to reassess your life. DON'T MISS: 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Runs 1/4-Mile On Performance Data Recorder: Video Also joining the fun, piloting the Audi S1 EKS RX, rallycross...

The ultimate WRC champion Sebastian Loeb will be at this year's X Games in Los Angeles. Why? Because Travis Pastrana invited/challenged him to show up. Why would Pastrana, a favorite to win or place in the competition, make his own job exponentially harder by inviting Loeb? Because he wants to race...

You've already seen Travis Pastrana at the wheel of his new Dodge Dart rally/rallycross car. Now you can see the car in wheel-to-wheel action against the best in the business as they take to the track--and the jumps--at Texas Motor Speedway. The Global RallyCross Championship, if you're not...

If a Kiwi and a Korean car maker seem like an odd couple, you haven't been paying attention the past few years. Few brand-driver partnerships have seemed to fit so well, in fact, and the duo will continue for the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship in 2012. Millen's brand of hoonage seems to fit...

The Global Rallycross Championship is one of our favorite new forms of motorsport (new to the U.S., anyway), with motocross-like racing for some incredibly fierce rally-bred cars. For 2012, Subaru and PUMA will be joining forces to take on the energy drink makers and other OEMs of the world...

Dodge and Travis Pastrana have teamed up for RallyCross. Pastrana will be driving a new 2012 Dodge Dart with a 2.0-liter Tigershark engine with more than 600 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. With power being sent to all four wheels, the Dart will hit 60 mph from a standstill in just 1.9...

This weekend, the sport of European-style rallycross headed to the streets of Los Angeles, but unlike road racers on a city street circuit, the rallycrossers faced the challenge of dirt and gravel strewn in strategic locations among other obstacles. The action was pretty intense, but if you were...

He's our favorite part of Top Gear USA, and he's one of the favorites to win the Rallycross competition at X Games 17: He's Tanner Foust, and in this video he gives us a walkaround, inside and out, of his car for the competition. Foust's wide-ranging driving experience and understanding of the...

Ford's insane versions of the Fiesta for Ken Block's Gymkhana and WRC cars are nothing short of mind-blowing in their ability to generate power and turn it into tire smoke, especially considering the tiny displacement of the turbo hatch. The latest take on the uber-Fiesta is a "hybrid function hoon...

Less than two weeks remain to the debut of the Global RallyCross Championship (GRC) at Irwindale Speedway, and now the series has a promo video, courtesy of ESPN. Packed full of recognizable names like Block, Foust, and Millen, the series mixes motocross with rally cars and results in a whole lot...

America, get ready for some fun in the dirt. The Global RallyCross Championship is getting ready for its first event at Irwindale Speedway on March 25-26. It will be broadcast on ESPN, so set your DVRs now. If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, you're probably not a fan of the X-Games, Rhys Millen...

The X Games get underway this weekend, including America's first SuperRally.

Ford's new Fiesta won’t be arriving in local showrooms until early next year, but the company is pulling out all the stops to promote the stylish compact with various motorsport and social marketing campaigns to build excitement. To further this, the Blue Oval recently announced a goal to get...

Racing up the 12-mile, 156-turn, Pikes Peak hillclimb course to the summit of the 14,110 foot mountain is a dangerous, daring business left only to the most serious of drivers and teams. To even approach the world-record pace of 10:01.408 minutes set in 2007 is to approach the limits of human...
