RallyX Americas sets open test for February
The inaugural season of RallyX Americas will kick off with an open test for prospective drivers in February.
On Feb. 11-10, a test at a venue in Florida – which will be announced in the coming weeks, although the announcement mentions Speedweeks at Daytona, World Series of Racing at New Smyrna, and the Dirtcar Nationals at Volusia as being nearby – will take place, giving drivers the opportunity to test the 150hp FC5 cross car, the 550hp rallycross supercar-like FC2 (pictured), or the 1,000hp all-electric FC1.
Costs for those looking to participate start at $300 for the FC5, $500 for the FC2, or $750 for the FC1, with the test days including a passenger ride, two test runs behind the wheel, and lunch of the driver and one guest.
Applications are now open, with those wishing to take part needing a current racing license and medical insurance.
RallyX Americas will start at Crandon International Raceway on June 20-21, followed by rounds at Eldora Raceway the following week, and Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières in Canada on Aug. 22-23. Participating teams and drivers will also be invited to invitational events at the Crandon World Cup on Sept. 5-6, and the RallyX Global event at Montalegre in Portugal on Oct. 24-25.

Rather fitting for a man that says he likes “seeing cars do what they’re not supposed to do”, previously worked for a car stunt show, and once even rolled a rally car with Travis Pastrana. He was also comprehensively beaten in a kart race by Sebastien Loeb once, but who hasn’t been?
