The TitansRX is a rallycross series which was organised by racing driver Max Pucher. In late 2018, Max Pucher set up the series TitansRX to start in 2019. The TitansRX International Series was planned to start in 2021. The 2020 campaign was scaled back to a one-make single race in March. After that no further season came to be although the Pantera RX cars created for this series were used in various competitions.

History

In October 2018 the series was announced as GRC Europe. But already in December of the same year that was dropped and the series was renamed TitansRX. In 2019 a European season took place. Due to the COVID pandemic in 2020 no regular season could take place. So some TitansRX races were contested in the Austrian Rallycross Championship. [1] [2]
