WorldRX event would start in 2025 as part of Coventry MotorFest, and be first closed-road UK street race in 35 years
The FIA World Rallycross Championship is in “advanced talks” about staging an event on the Coventry ring road in 2025– which would be the first international-level street race in the UK for 35 years. The event would be held as part of the annual Coventry MotorFest, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this weekend. The MotorFest mixes static displays with demonstration runs and a timed sprint event using a 1.1-mile course laid out on a section of the city’s Ringway circular.
The 684bhp electric RX1e cars are set to return in this year’s championship, which starts on July 6/7, but combustion-engined supercars will be allowed, as long as they are sustainably fuelled. WorldRX staged an event on a street circuit in Hong Kong at the end of last year, and called that race a test case that could led to more temporary circuits being added to the calendar in the coming years.
