Euro Rallycross Challenge

The first written information about an alternative series to the 2013 European Rallycross Championship (RX) came up during the 2012 ERC Finale in Buxtehude on Saturday, September 29 when an unsigned press release was distributed by a wellknown Rallycross official to just a few by then present people in the Estering press centre. As the paper carried no name nor indication of where it came from it was subsequently claimed to be set-up rumours, produced to disturb the work of those who were busy to work on the future of Rallycross. However, after Buxtehude there was no other written information for ‘Joe Public’ from those people who worked on the challenge project, but now time is ripe and ERC24 able to release some of the information that we were given over the past weeks.

On Saturday, November 1 representatives of six international Rallycross organisers and some ASN members had a meeting in Holland where they agreed to launch a European Rallycross Challenge in 2013. The new series of events will be held in central Europe, to be run at at least six different venues. So far the French ASN FFSA and the Dutch ASN KNAF have already commited to the new challenge, other federations are said to follow soon. The challenge is claimed to become recognised by the FIA under the rules for ‘International Series’, the six provisional dates to be found below. The “alternative ERC” will host the three known categories SuperCars, Super1600s and TouringCars, but should see some changes and improvements to the former format.

The challenge was initiated and will be run by the Dutch ASN KNAF. Its motto reads “Rallycross the way it’s meant to be”, and together with adjusted rules and friendly entry fees it is claimed to be the Rallycross of the future. Those new regulations should be friendlier, clearer and are based on 40 years of Rallycross experience. Rules that are difficult to control will be deleted and the winners will be awarded with attractive round and championship prizes. The total prize money for 2013 is announced to be of more than €100,000.00.

The European Rallycross Challenge (ERC) will see open paddocks and will be promoted to the big crowd from one central organisation. A uniform appearance and promotion will add to the awareness of the competition. All traditional and modern communication will be used: TV contacts will be approached and races will be made available through live streaming!

Basseng wins CZ shoot-out

FIA GT1 World Champion German Marc Basseng claimed the Czech champions meeting ‘Global Assistance Setkání mistrů’ at Sosnová for the second time in SuperCars while homeboy Stanislav Šusta won the Super1600s class.

Just one week after the 2nd edition of the ‘Race of Austrian Champions’ at Greinbach a similar but much older Rallysprint type event was held at Sosnová in the Czech Republic, the 11th runnings of the ‘Setkání mistrů’ [Meeting of Champions]. Like in Austria competitors from Rallycross, Rallysport and Autocross were invited to this shoot-out at the Autodrom Česká Lípa venue. The event featured 2012 FIA GT1 World Champion [recently winning the title together with his German compatriot and teammate Markus Winkelhock in one of René Münnich's Mercedes SLS] Marc Basseng, the new Irish FIA Super2000 Rally World Champion Craig Breen, and 2012 ERC winner in TouringCars Swede Anton Marklund as star entries.

Craig Been, a regular Ford Fiesta campaigner, showed superb driving of a lend Škoda Fabia, but was eventually beaten by master of the house, Czech 2009 Junior World Rally Champion Martin Prokop with a Ford Fiesta in the ‘4WD WRC’ class. In ‘Rallycross SuperCars’ Marc Basseng made good use of the older Mk1 Škoda Fabia of Münnich Motorsport to beat his boss René Münnich in the Mk2 Fabia that the German internet entrepreneur had driven throughout the 2011 ERC. And in ‘Rallycross Super1600s’ victory fell prey to Czech Stanislav Šusta who beat his compatriot and make colleague Zdeněk Čermák to second place.

Rallycross in den Medien Juli
Rallycross EM und DM sind einmal mehr in den Medien. Die Speedweek und das Rallye-Magazin bieten wieder jede Menge Rallycross-Lektüre zum Wochenende.

Die aktuelle Ausgabe der Speedweek behandelt die Premiere in Groß-Dölln. Neben dieser Veranstaltung gibt es aber auch einen Artikel über die Unfälle von Marcus Grönholm und Toomas Heikkinen sowie den Erfolg von Weltmeister Sebastian Loeb im Hansen-Citroen DS3 XL bei den X-Games. Auch der mögliche Auftritt von Rallycrossern bei den Summer-X-Games Europe 2013 in München ist Thema im Heft.

Das Rallye Magazin berichtet ebenfalls vom Global-Rallycross und blickt auf die Rallycross Europameisterschaft. Fündig wird man im gut sortierten Zeitschriftenhandel oder in Bahnhöfen. Direktes Bestellen mit dem Hinweis auf ein durch Rallycross gewecktes Interesse ist einer umfangreicheren Berichterstattung sicher sehr zuträglich.

René Münnich, Teamchef und Fahrer bei ALL-INKL.com Münnich Motorsport, wird 2012 mit einem Skoda Fabia Mk2 bei den Super1600 starten. Mit dem nur mit einem 1400ccm starkem Aggregat ausgestatteten Skoda Fabia versucht Münnich-Motorsport ein neues Konzept bei den kleinen Frontangetriebenen Super1600. Unterdessen bereitet das Team zwei Audi A3 SuperCars für die bevorstehende Saison vor. Mehr Informationen zu den Plänen des FIA GT, DRX und FIA European Rallycross Championship Teams findet ihr auf der Teamwebsite www.rx.de

So soll es aussehen, das Audi A3 T16 4x4 SuperCar

 Rallycross Gross Dölln

3 anstrengende und spannende Tage liegen hinter den Teilnehmern und Organisatoren des ersten Rallycross Groß Dölln. Für alle Seiten eine Premiere. Die Teilnehmer lernten eine neue Strecke, die Organisatoren von PRS und ADAC Berlin Brandenburg eine neue Sportart kennen. Einige kleinere und größere Herausforderungen, Verzögerungen und Unfälle konnten die insgesamt gelungende Premiere nur wenig trüben.

Die Private Renngemeinschaft Spandau bedankt sich bei allen Teilnehmern und inbesondere den vielen Helfern, die dieses Wochenende möglich gemacht haben.

Weitere Informationen findet ihr auf www.prs-berlin.de
