august 01, 2014 - Rallycross RX
Barcelona added to World RX calendar for 2015
The Circuit de BarcelonaCatalunya will play host to a round of next year’s FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy.
The track, which is home to both the Formula One Grand Prix as well as the MotoGP Grand Prix, will stage the Barcelona RX race in September 2015.
Built in 1991 the Circuit de BarcelonaCatalunya is based in Montmelo in northern Barcelona and has been used as an F1 track for 24 years. It was also used as a venue of the 1992 Summer Olympics. Barcelona will become the second major city to host a round of World RX after Istanbul will stage the Championship’s inaugural city race at the Intercity Istanbul Park this October.
Martin Anayi, Managing Director at World RX for IMG Motorsport, commented. “This is extremely positive news for our Championship.
It’s a new market for us and the organisers in Barcelona have worked extremely hard to help get this project off the ground. The team are very experienced having previously brought X Games to the city so I have no doubt that the same level of professionalism will be delivered in our Championship. Work will shortly be underway on the new rallycross track and I’m excited by the prospect of a World RX race in one of the world’s major economic and sporting hubs.”
