What is Rallycross?
Rallycross in a non contact form of motor racing which consists of multiple different car classes ranging from Super Cars, to Hot Hatch, to the Junior Swifts.
Rallycross is recognised as a championship by the MSA. Each race comprises of up to 10 cars.
A typical race day consists of 3 heats and finals. The number of finals is dependent on the amount of cars racing in each class and there can be up to 3 finals per class.
A C final is run for the slower of the cars, the top 2 of these then move into the B final for the next set of cars. The top two cars from the B final move into the A final with the fastest cars from the 3 heats.
Rallycross events take place on permanent tracks which consist of sealed and unsealed services, making it a mixture of circuit racing and rallying.

Why Rallycross?
"I first saw Rallycross on TV when I was around 10 years old. It was a regular feature on the Saturday afternoon sports shows around that time. The races were short, sharp, action packed, and full of excitement. I was hooked immediately. As soon as I was 17 and able to drive, I started going to watch the meetings in real life.
At first I only went to my local circuit - Croft. As time went by I started going further afield, and in no time at all I was traveling the length and breadth of the country going to every Rallycross fixture I could. I even started to go into Europe two or three times a year to watch the top European Championship series.
I always knew that I would like to have a go, and the urge to compete became stronger as time went by. Eventually the urge became too strong, so I went out and bought a Ford Fiesta XR2 road car, and my friends and I started to prepare it to race.
I did my first event in 2004, and have competed every year since then, doing between eight and ten race meetings every year. I began in the lowest class for standard, 1600 cc unmodified hatchbacks.
As I have become more experienced I have moved up the classes, and now ten years, and four cars later, I compete in the top two wheel drive class, where the cars are highly modified and very powerful.
The buzz you get from Rallycross, both watching and competing, is indescribable. The adrenaline rush you feel as you are sat on the grid and the lights turn to green is second to none, and the feeling of euphoria that comes over you when you win lives in the memory for ever. I couldn't imagine not being around Rallycross, and not only for the racing.
We are like our own little community; all the drivers, officials, and safety marshals know each other and are friends. At least we are when we are not racing. The Rallycross paddock on the evening before an event is a very social place with everyone sharing food and drink, reliving previous races, and bantering about what will happen the next day, and who will be victorious.
I have made so many great friends and have so many unforgettable memories I hope I will still be involved in Rallycross for many years to come."
