“We see a great future for the Rally X Series. Even in its infancy we’ve already had a lot of interest from competitors who want to support the series.“Having both Mitsi Galore and Toyotaz Galore on board will no doubt be a great asset for the competitors too that might need parts along the way.”
Sloan Cox dominated proceedings at round one in his Mitsubishi hillclimb monster.
“Rallycross is continuing to grow around the world. A solid and stable series is what’s been missing from the New Zealand motor racing landscape for a long time now.“What we’re saying is ‘let’s give it a go’, and I think after Wellington we were pretty confident that we can make this a long term nationally recognised championship in years to come. “The foundations are there, now we want to see more drivers giving it a go because there are few opportunities to try fast paced mixed-surface super special stage esque circuits like these.”
Kim Lace leading Sloan Cox in the early running at Max Motors Wellington Family Speedway.
Plans are in place to continue to utilise the stadium setups that are on offer. A 10-year agreement with Wellington Family Speedway means the series will return to Wellington for at least the next two seasons.Baypark remains a solid fixture on the calendar since the series first ventured to the fifth largest city in 2013. A full calendar will be confirmed following the conclusion of the 2018 New Zealand Xtreme Motorsport Series, which will finish at Pukekohe Park in May. Early plans for 2019 will see the series expand from a two event showcase to a fully fledged series.
