FRENCH ROUND TO COMPLETE THE 5 NATIONS RX ROSTER
Paris track added, and a first-ever Belgian visit for Britain two-wheel-drive class battlers on the line-up
Bosses of the British Rallycross Championship 5 Nations Trophy have announced the completed 2022 calendar that includes a first tie-up with the French Rallycross Championship at the Dreux circuit in October.
Widely regarded as the strongest domestic rallycross series in the world, Rallycross France will be joined by 5 Nations BRX Supercar runners for the final round of the French series on October 15-16 this year, making it the penultimate weekend in the now 11-round British Supercar schedule.
The joint event is expected to attract over 30 Supercars. Dreux, located to the west of Paris, hosted the French round of the European Rallycross Championship in 2012,
where British driver Kevin Procter climbed from the C-final to the A-final and won the event outright.
Meanwhile, two-wheel-drive categories from the 5 Nations
BRX roster will join the Belgian
Rallycross Championship at the Glosso circuit in Arendonk on August 6-7. The venue has recently undergone investment to upgrade its facilities.
Hannah Rynston, 5 Nations BRX coordinator, said: “We can’t wait to take 5 Nations BRX to France for the first time in October where we will see some of the very fastest Supercar drivers in Europe go head to head.
“It’s also exciting to take competitors from here in the UK back to Belgium for the first time since 2016. The Belgian Championship has focused on twowheel-drive rallycross in recent years, so it’s the perfect opportunity for us to take some of our two-wheeldrive classes to a new circuit for 5 Nations BRX, which like Dreux, is steeped in history.”
