  • Cross Car will debut at the FIA Motorsport Games this October, 26-30, drawing off-road racing, Autocross, and Cross Car stars to compete for the glory of winning a gold medal for their home nation. “Cross Car is to off-road racing what karting is to circuit racing. It’s where established and upcoming stars from rally and off-road competition build their craft driving small off-road buggies powered by motorbike engines, drivers like current FIA Euro RX3 Rallycross leader Kobe Pauwels, and Viktor Vranckx, who heads the FIA RX2e Rallycross Championship.”

  • Organizers of Italian F4 have issued a report stating the weekend format last weekend needed to move away from the traditional three races per weekend due to increased grid numbers. F1 Feeder Series explains why.
  • Racer reports that HMD Motorsports is expanding to 8 Indy Lights entries. “I think eight drivers on Firestone tires and the limited testing that we’re going to have, it’s probably going to be an advantage to have more drivers, more engineers, more data.”
