Okay, so here’s the scoop. Every single event of the 2025 FIA World Rallycross and European Rallycross Championships? Yeah, they’ll be streamed live for free on YouTube. Which, honestly, is kind of wild. Rallycross? Major sport, global level, just out there for anyone with a smartphone or whatever.
This whole thing about making rallycross accessible? It’s huge. Part of this whole thrilling ride that’s bringing it back to the iconic Circuito Automóvel de Lousada in Portugal. Picture it: engines roaring, the smell of burnt rubber, adrenaline sky-high — all from May 31 to June 1.
Oh, and if you’re more into watching things on like actual TVs, good news. They’re broadcasting locally as well. Thanks to national partners and the revamped fiaworldrallycross.com (check it out if you want). It’s like, they’ve got the traditional media folks covered too.
The goal here? Spread those rallycross vibes far and wide. Like, seriously, with YouTube being the streaming giant it is, catchy videos and all, they know they’re gonna hook the younger crowd for sure. Yet, hey, for the cable lovers, don’t panic, it’s still a thing.
Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh, right. The close-quarters, bumper-to-bumper madness of rallycross, more accessible than ever.
Emilia Abel — she’s the FIA Road Sport Director, by the way — says it’s all about making sure the action’s available for the fans. Because what’s the point if nobody can watch, right? It’s like starting a new chapter or something.
And Craig Edmondson, Chief Commercial Officer for FIA, chimed in too. Apparently there’s no magic bullet for broadcasts. They’re all about growth and reach. So, fans, organizers, teams, partners — all in on this plan, trying to hit those key territories without blocking anyone from tuning in.
Oh, speaking of tuning in, things are kicking off this Thursday. They’re throwing a shindig in Lousada Old Town. Must be one heck of a fan event. Autographs, stars, the whole shebang. Then practice revs up Friday, leading right into the big shebang Sunday.
Sensing major buzz. Honestly, with packed grandstands and the craziness of the races, seems like a weekend you wouldn’t wanna miss. Tickets? You can snag them here.
Anyway, that’s all. Rallycross fans, get ready — it’s gonna be something else. I’ll be over here, grabbing popcorn and tuning in.
