Vi er ikke mer enn så vidt ferdige med årets rallycross-sesong, men organisasjonen bak RallyX Nordic er allerede godt i gang med å planlegge for fremtiden.
RallyX ønsker å bli en global liga i fremtiden.
-I praksis bør ikke dette endre for mye i dagens RallyX-organisasjon. I våre hoder er ideen å fortsette og styrke det vi alltid har gjort i RallyX, den eneste forskjellen er at vi ønsker å legge til en «sørlig» divisjon som vil tillate baner og team utenfor den skandinaviske regionen å bli med i kalenderen vår . Alle som har investert i rallycross trenger solide prospekter for øyeblikket, og RallyX-merket må ta sitt ansvar ved å spille sin rolle på dette helt spesifikke nivået, heter det i en pressemelding fra RallyX.
Pressemelding fra RallyX:
RallyX moves up a gear with a global league!
• While the 2024 RallyX championship season came to an end just two months ago in Buxtehude, Germany, Andreas Eriksson of RX Promotion AB, the promoter of RallyX are sparing no effort to ensure the future of the rallycross discipline.
• In addition to creating a southern league for countries outside Scandinavia, RX Promotion is aiming to expand into the North American market as soon as possible, with a view to an international final featuring the best from each region
• RX Promotion would like to encourage everyone involved in rallycross to work together to lay the foundations for a solid future.
While RallyX 2024 brought together no less than 14 different nationalities, RX Promotion is now looking to take the sport to the next level.
We have a dream and we are more determined than ever to make it happen. Our priorities haven’t changed since the creation of RallyX. Our original idea has always been to give drivers and teams a future by encouraging them to invest in a sport whose incredible potential we all know and for them to be able to gain back in what they invest in
RallyX is a friendly championship for everyone involved. From the teams to the media to the fans, we are one big family and community pushing to keep rallycross in the spotlight.
In practice, this should not change too much in the current RallyX organisation.
In our minds, the idea is to continue and strengthen what we’ve always done in RallyX, the only difference being that we’d like to add a ‘southern’ division that would allow tracks and teams outside the Scandinavian region to join our calendar. Everyone who has invested in rallycross needs a solid prospects at the moment and the RallyX brand has to take its responsibility by playing its part at this very specific level.
Thus, these ‘North’ and ‘South’ divisions could then award two separate titles for the European region, as well as gaining qualifying places for a Super Final that would bring together the best performers from both divisions.
Any expansion that RX Promotion AB and RallyX propose does not need to be limited just to Europe.
We have more than ten years of success and experience and we know how to bring teams and drivers together for a common adventure. Our media coverage is already known worldwide. We know the North American market perfectly well and we have the contacts and the organisation to develop the RallyX brand in this geographical area with immediate effect.
However, the RallyX brand knows the rallycross market inside out at all levels, from promotion, technical development and team management, so has no intention of creating more difficulties for the various competitors.
Our idea is to adapt to different markets and different technical regulations. This idea of developing RallyX beyond our traditional borders is not new, but something that our working group has been working for a long time. We want to make things easier for all competitors
It would be an exciting platform for all our competitors who, in addition to their respective regional championships, would have an additional target to qualify for a world final. Our dream has always been to promote the emergence of ONE sport, where everyone can speak the same language when it comes to rallycross, and that’s the dream we’re pursuing today
To achieve this goal, it is necessary that all stakeholders in our sport are able and willing to combine their efforts and work together to make this goal a reality. In particular, we will continue to work closely with all other organisations, locally and internationally, to find the best balance and the most appropriate strategies. We want all the driving forces of our sport to feel fully involved in this adventure. We invite all those who want to be part of this dream to join us and help us make history together.
