The 2018 Americas Rallycross Championship is the first season of the Americas Rallycross Championship, a feeder championship to the FIA World Rallycross Championship representing North America. This championship can be seen as the spiritual successor to the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship, which folded in early 2018.^[1] The season consists of four rounds across two categories; Supercar and ARX2. The season commenced on 27 May with the special round at Silverstone in the UK, and culminated on 30 September in Austin at the Circuit of the Americas.
