New FIA World RX double-header season finale revealed
CE Dealer Team by Volvo Construction Equipment will head to a new double header season finale in Asia, as the FIA World RX championship organisation has unveiled China as the end to the exciting 2024 calendar on October 19-20.
“It was revealed earlier this year that discussions were underway to add an event in Asia to the calendar in the autumn. Rallycross Promoter GmbH is happy to confirm that those discussions have now reached a positive conclusion, and that China will stage the season finale,” read the statement from the FIA World RX organisation.
This builds upon the tremendous success of World RX’s debut in the Asia-Pacific region in Hong Kong last November – the championship’s first-ever city-centre event.
The precise location to be used in China will be announced in due course and Volvo Construction Equipment will be a part of constructing the circuit in its role as the Official Track Build Partner to the championship - as well as Engcon with its innovative tiltrotator.
The Chinese round replaces Australia which was originally scheduled for the first weekend in December.
“The Rallycross Promoter is continuing to work closely and proactively with the local organiser there [Australia] with a view to adding an event to the schedule in 2025,” read the statement from the FIA World RX organisation.
CE Dealer Team kicked off the 2024 season in style last weekend at the legendary Höljes circuit in Sweden where star drivers Klara Andersson and Niclas Grönholm claimed one podium finish each, with the team placed second overall in its fight for the 2024 crown.
