Series News[]
- For the first time in world rallycross history all the categories will be based on electric power.[3]
- The RX1 class was discontinued. It was replaced by the electric RX1e class. While bodywork and liveries will be different, all cars in this new class will be using the same powertrain developed by Kreisel Electric.[4]
- A new race weekend format will be adopted for the 2022 season. The grids for heat 1 will now be set using a single-lap shootout SuperPole session immediately following practice. Single header events will feature three heat races (down from four), and double header events will feature two heat races (down from three). The grids for the heats following heat 1 will now be set by finishing position in the previous heat, rather than overall time. The positions per heat are still going to be determined by time. Following the heat races a 'Progression' race will determine which ten drivers move on to the semi-finals. From the semi-finals, the top 2 drivers from each semi moves on to the final, along with the highest-placed driver finishing in third. The staggered grid for the semi-finals and finals has been removed in favor of a side-by-side grid. There will be a maximum of five cars competing in every race.[5]
