SUMMARY:FIA World Rallycross Championship 2024 - Sweden\, Höljes
DESCRIPTION:The FIA World Rallycross Championship is pleased to present its 2024 calendar\, with the exhilarating dual-surface action set to bring fans to their feet as the eagerly-anticipated new ‘Battle of Technologies’ races into life.\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the first time in World RX history\, the cutting-edge electric RX1e cars – introduced two years ago – will go doorhandle-to-doorhandle with their sustainably-fuelled RX1 combustion counterparts as they rejoin the fray. This will add another fascinating dimension and an intriguing twist to what is already one of the most thrilling forms of motorsport on the planet.\n\n\n\n\n\nRatified by today’s FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting\, the 2024 schedule features five double-header fixtures totalling ten rounds\, preceded by a standalone FIA European Rallycross Championship curtain-raiser on 8-9 June at Essay in northern France – a circuit that last hosted Euro RX more than a decade ago.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe World Championship then kicks off at Höljes’ legendary ‘Magic Weekend’ in Sweden (6-7 July) – selected as the best event of 2023 at the recent FIA Off-Road Prize-Giving ceremony.\n\n\n\n\n\nThree weeks later\, competitors will head to Hungary\, as Nyirád’s famous ‘Red Cauldron’ – which has welcomed Euro RX for the past two seasons – steps up to World Championship level for the first time on 27-28 July.\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo popular World RX venues follow\, in the shape of Mettet in Belgium (17-18 August) and Montalegre in Portugal (7-8 September)\, before the series travels overseas. Discussions are ongoing to add an event in Asia to the calendar in the autumn\, ahead of a new season finale in Australia on 30 November – 1 December.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis will mark the first time the championship has set foot ‘Down Under’\, as World RX continues to explore new territories following its spectacular city-centre debut in Hong Kong last November.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We’re excited to officially present the 2024 FIA World Rallycross Championship calendar. A huge amount of hard work has gone into putting this schedule together\, and we must thank all of our stakeholders for their earnest efforts and support.\n\n\n\n\n\n“With a mixture of traditional rallycross favourites such as Höljes\, Montalegre and Mettet\, a very well-deserved promotion for Nyirád following two excellent European Championship events\, a maiden visit to Australia and a return to France\, we have a truly global and compelling calendar sure to whet the appetite of competitors and fans alike – and one befitting of such a landmark season as the ‘Battle of Technologies’ gets underway in style.\n\n\n\n\n\n“We are looking forward to seeing the RX1e cars back in action for the first time since last summer\, and curious to discover how they compare against the sustainably-fuelled combustion cars on the grid. As we all know in rallycross\, there will be absolutely no quarter given.\n\n\n\n\n\n“Looking further ahead\, we are already in the advanced stages of finalising next year’s plans\, with even more interest from major new markets\, so we look forward to confirming and presenting the 2025 World RX dates in due course.”\n\nArne Dirks\, Managing Director\, Rallycross Promoter GmbH\, said:\n\n\n\n\n2024 FIA World Rallycross Championship Calendar\n\n\n\n\n\nJune 8-9 Euro RX of France\, Essay (Euro RX only)\nJuly 6-7 World RX of Sweden\, Höljes\nJuly 27-28 World RX of Hungary\, Nyirád *\nAugust 17-18 World RX of Benelux\, Mettet\nSeptember 7-8 World RX of Portugal\, Montalegre\nNovember 30 – December 1 World RX of Australia\, TBA *\n\n\n\n\n\n* Subject to circuit homologation

SUMMARY:World RX of Sweden
DESCRIPTION:Höljes Motorstadion in Sweden is one of the world’s most iconic rallycross tracks\, located deep in the Värmland forest not far from the Norwegian border. The circuit opened in February\, 1976\, with rallycross legend Per Eklund winning the very first event held there in front of 3\,500 spectators. \nIn 1991\, Höljes joined the FIA European Rallycross Championship calendar\, becoming a permanent round on the schedule eight years later. It has been a popular World Championship fixture ever since the series’ inception in 2014. Known as the ‘Magic Weekend’\, the event regularly attracts in the region of 50\,000 fans. \nFrom the grid\, there is a short run to Turn One – a fast right-hander over a crest – before the cars immediately jink left into Turn Two\, which marks the entry to the Joker Lap. Staying on the standard line\, another crest precedes a tight and slippery right-hander that leads into the famous\, banked ‘Velodrome’ section. \nDrivers then speed half-sideways down the gravelly hill\, before flicking their cars to the right at the bottom and leaping over the jump that feeds into the last corner – an open\, asphalt-coated left-hander that twists round to the finish line.
