Following an FIA World Motorsport Council extraordinary e-vote, (1 September), the final four rounds of the 2023 FIA World Rallycross Championship season will run as scheduled, with drivers competing in RX2e-category vehicles. In both Cape Town and Hong Kong, drivers will score championship points in the ongoing battle to be crowned 2023 drivers’ world champion.

Taking into account the continuing investigation into the fire at Lydden Hill on 21 July which destroyed both Special ONE Racing RX1e cars and the logistics timeframe of shipping cars to Cape Town, it has been decided that the drivers will compete in ZEROID X1 vehicles.

The cars will then be relocated to China for the season-ending double-header, as World RX heads to the streets of downtown Hong Kong for the first time in the championship’s history.

A minimum of eight drivers have been confirmed for the event in Cape Town next month, headlined by current championship leader, Johan Kristoffersson.
