The 2023 FIA World Rallycross Championship will conclude in Hong Kong on November 11-12.

The event will take place on a new circuit in Hong Kong’s Central Harbourfront Event Space, next to the iconic Victoria Harbour, and will potentially see the crowning of the 2023 world champion.

The event will mark the first time the World RX ventures into the Asia-Pacific region, bringing the sport to a completely new audience in a city that is renowned for its dynamic, fast-paced approach – much like rallycross’ top tier.

Following the European leg of the season, the FIA World Rallycross Championship cars will be transported to Cape Town to do battle at Killarney International Raceway, in the shadow of Table Mountain, for rounds seven and eight.

The last time the series set foot in South Africa, Timmy Hansen and Andreas Bakkerud thrilled fans with a sensational duel for the Drivers’ crown, which ended in contact and a dramatic dead-heat.

Killarney first saw action in 1947 and had its first taste of international Formula One Grand Prix racing when the Cape Grand Prix was run at Killarney on December 17 1960.

The characterful track Estering, Germany, will host the sixth FIA World Rallycross Championship round in 2023.

The circuit is located close to Buxtehude just outside of Hamburg and has been absent from the calendar since 2018.

Estering was the scene of one of the most memorable moments in World RX history, when Kevin Eriksson famously ‘sent it’ all the way around the outside and into the lead at the first corner on his way to victory in 2016.

Höljes Motorstadion in Sweden is one of the world’s most iconic rallycross tracks, located deep in the Värmland forest not far from the Norwegian border. The circuit opened in February, 1976, with rallycross legend Per Eklund winning the very first event held there in front of 3,500 spectators. 

In 1991, Höljes joined the FIA European Rallycross Championship calendar, becoming a permanent round on the schedule eight years later. It has been a popular World Championship fixture ever since the series’ inception in 2014. Known as the ‘Magic Weekend’, the event regularly attracts in the region of 50,000 fans. 

From the grid, there is a short run to Turn One – a fast right-hander over a crest – before the cars immediately jink left into Turn Two, which marks the entry to the Joker Lap. Staying on the standard line, another crest precedes a tight and slippery right-hander that leads into the famous, banked ‘Velodrome’ section.

Drivers then speed half-sideways down the gravelly hill, before flicking their cars to the right at the bottom and leaping over the jump that feeds into the last corner – an open, asphalt-coated left-hander that twists round to the finish line.

High up in the Vila Real mountains in the north of the country, Portugal’s picturesque and historic Montalegre track formed part of the original FIA World Rallycross Championship calendar back in 2014, and its undulating layout and unpredictable weather has produced many breathtaking battles over the years.

The 945m track is located some 1,000m above sea level, requiring engines to be finely-tuned to deal with the altitude. From a long start/finish straight, drivers brake hard for the first corner – a tight right-hand hairpin – before taking a little bit of kerb as they flick through the left-right chicane that follows.

A fast left-hander then leads downhill into a right as the surface turns from asphalt into the loose and sandy gravel that characterises Montalegre, before a steep uphill climb precedes another left followed by a long, fast right-hander. The final section of the lap is marked by a tricky surface change and a series of chicanes – inviting drivers to brush the barriers on both sides, but without getting too close...
