The FIA European Rallycross Championship’s opening round takes place at Nyriad, Hungary’s “red cauldron,” after which the WRX action starts in Hell, Norway, in the middle of June, and on to Sweden for round two. Rallycross will return home for the third round of the season, which will take place in Britain for the first time since 2019.
The championship then moves to Belgium, returning to Mettet, one of the original WRX tracks, for the first time since 2018, rather than Spa-Francorchamps as in recent years. Round five of the tournament will be held at the redesigned version of the always-popular Montalegre, Portugal. The iconic track of Estering in Germany will also make its comeback in the championship for round 6.
For the first time in the competition’s brand-new electric era, the championship’s final rounds will take place outside of Europe. And last, the series travels to Asia for a round at a location that has not yet been revealed. The 2023 World Rallycross Championship will begin on June 17in Hell, Norway.
