Stjørdal is no stranger to rallycross fever, but this year the popular free-to-attend pre-event ‘warm-up’ in the town will carry extra significance – as it will be the first time that anybody outside of the drivers and teams will get a glimpse of the new cars, which will hit the track in Hell over the following weekend (13-14 August) and kick-start an 11-round campaign that will culminate in the coronation of FIA World Rallycross’ inaugural electric champion.
Beginning at 19:00 CEST, the World RX cars will be presented to the public, media and VIPs in front of Stjørdal’s striking Kimen Kulturhus, with drivers taking to the stage to offer insights into what fans can expect from the sport’s exciting new all-electric generation.
The launch will similarly feature the FIA RX2e Championship and superstar skier Aksel Lund Svindal, who will make his rallycross debut in Hell in the electric support series.
The presentation – which will be live-streamed on RX+, on World RX’s Facebook and YouTube channels and by championship media partners – will be followed by an autograph session and parade through the streets of Stjørdal, before the cars return to the track for final preparations ahead of the race weekend.
