The World Championship campaign will begin in Barcelona this weekend, and the Nürburgring event – a new addition to the series’ calendar – had been due to welcome World RX and the all-electric FIA RX2e Championship a week later, on 31 July - 1 August.

In response to the devastating effects of the floods, the Nürburgring has become a focal point of the rescue and recovery effort as a collection and distribution centre.

The rescheduled double-header will now act as the 2021 season finale over the weekend of 27-28 November. Existing tickets will remain valid for the new date.

This means the World RX of Sweden at Höljes will now become round two of the current campaign on 20-22 August.
