Calendar

On the 17th of October 2024, the calendar for the 2025 season was announced. It was due to start on the 23rd of January 2025 in Canada on a brand new ice-surface circuit, and featured a further seven rounds in Hungary, Portugal, Great Britain, Finland, Sweden, Turkey and Australia. It was due to conclude on the 23rd of November 2025. ^[1] The venue for the season opener in Canada, the Circuit de Trois-Rivières, put out a statement on Instagram on December 13 2024 that the round had been postponed to 2028. ^[2] The original calendar was then removed from official FIA World Rallycross sources, and on 16 January 2025, the series put out a statement saying the process to find a new series promoter was underway. ^[3] A statement was put out by the Nyírad Racing Center on 23 February 2025 that stated the previously scheduled round in Hungary had been cancelled. ^[4] A new calendar was announced by the FIA on Instagram on 27 March 2025. It featured six rounds, of which one was at a yet unannounced venue. ^{[5] [6]} On 14 August 2025, the series announced that the previously scheduled unannounced event in November had been cancelled, and instead the World RX of Turkey had been converted into a double header season finale to preserve the six events that were planned. ^[7]

Series News

• On 13 November 2024, it was reported that the FIA had launched a process to find a new promoter for the series after four years of management by Rallycross Promoter, which took over from IMG in 2021. ^[8] On 10 March 2025 it was announced that the FIA had made a direct investment into the series and will take over operation of it with immediate effect. They announced that the FIA will operate the series with the support of a service provider. ^[9]
• As part of the FIA announcement, it was announced that the series would return to free-to-air coverage with a priority on digital accessibility. ^[10]
• On 5 December 2024, the FIA published their strategic vision for the future of their off-road championships. It stated that the Battle of Technologies-ruleset that was introduced in 2024 will remain until 2026. Following that, the goal is to propose a chassis based on the 2027 WRC technical regulations. ^[11]
• On 4 April 2025, the FIA published the updated sporting and technical regulations for the championship. The weekend format was reverted back to a time-based heat system that was previously used in the championship. Grids for the first heat will be decided by a random draw, and the following heats by position in the previous heat. Heat races will be run over 4 laps, semi-finals over 5 laps, and finals over 6 laps. The regulations were also updated to allow for FIA European Rallycross Championship competitors to compete in the heats alongside the World RX competitors but with separate classifications. The point system was also updated. ^[12]
