550hp, 4x4, 0-100 kph in less than 2’’5, five cars line-abreast at the start for intense races of 4 to 6 laps on mixed circuits of around 1km, alternating between asphalt and gravel: these are the “explosive” ingredients of Rallycross, a discipline that first saw the light of day in 1967, and whose flagship competition has (since its creation in 1976) always been, and remains so to this day, the FIA European Rallycross Championship.
The FIA European Autocross Championship takes place on a flat or ondulating circuit on natural terrain with any kind of unsealed surface (no ditches or water crossings). A sealed starting area may be constructed.
There will be a maximum of 12 events per year.
There will be at least 4 laps in each qualifying Heat, and the total distance must not exceed 7,000m.
The FIA championship is open to vehicles :
- Division SuperBuggy :
Autocross Single-seaters, 4-wheeled vehicles designed and built specifically for participating in Autocross.
In basic terms, a drag race is an acceleration contest from a standing start between two vehicles over measured distance. These contests are started by means of an electronic device commonly called a "Christmas Tree". Upon leaving the starting line, each contestant activates a timer which is, in turn, stopped when the same vehicle reaches the finish line.
