The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will play host to a round of the 2015 FIA World Rallycross Championship. The track, which is currently home to both the Formula 1 Grand Prix as well as the MotoGP Grand Prix, will stage the Barcelona RX race in September 2015.
Barcelona will become the second major city to host a round of World RX after Istanbul will stage the Championship’s inaugural city race at the Intercity Istanbul Park this October.
Martin Anayi, Managing Director at World RX for IMG Motorsport, commented. “This is extremely positive news for our Championship.”
Rob Armstrong, Global Head of Motorsport for IMG, concluded: “Barcelona is already a mecca for motorsport fans being home to the F1 and MotoGP races and with a population of more than 1.6 million the event in Barcelona is likely to grow into one of our biggest. This latest news also goes to show the true potential of World RX as we are beginning to witness purpose built tracks at some of the world’s most famous motorsport venues.”
