The FIA has announced that it will take control of the World Rallycross Championship, becoming the series’ owner and operator after Rallycross Promoter GmbH’s tenure ended in 2024. The FIA’s move comes after a three-month assessment process to secure the series’ future. Motorsport’s governing body aims to streamline decision-making and enhance the championship’s health. The transition is seen as a positive step by long-time World RX team owner Kenneth Hansen. The FIA plans to align rallycross with World Rally Championship regulations for 2027 and focus on expanding the grid. Despite recent event cancellations, the FIA prioritizes growing rallycross’ global audience, with a new calendar announced on March 14.
