IMG, which manages the World and European Rallycross championships, will be managing the upstart Americas Rallycross Championship. Competition begins later this year.
The move comes after the Red Bull Global Rallycross series announced a rule change that is said to have outlawed the Supercar class and promoted the GRC Lites class to its top attraction, with the new name “Gold” class.
This changed was said to have left Supercar teams without a place to race. Enter IMG’s four-race schedule, which will open in Great Britain as part of the World Rallycross event at Silverstone in May.
The series will also tag team with WRX at Quebec’s Trois-Rivieres event Aug. 4-5 and at Circuit of The Americas on a date in July to be announced. The fourth event hasn’t been announced.
The series will also include an ARX2 class for Supercar Lites machines.
While plans are still coming together for the series, Andretti Rallycross, Subaru Rally Team USA, Hoonigan Racing and Loenbro Motorsports have confirmed plans to compete in the Americas Rallycross Championship.
