Double FIA World Rallycross Champion and 2020 World RX Drivers’ Championship leader Johan Kristoffersson, from Sweden, got a taste of what the young rallycross drivers of the future, starting in 2021, will race in World RX events, when he drove the new FIA RX2e car in Spain immediately after winning round eight of World RX at the Logitech G FIA World RX of Catalunya. “My first impression of the car was pretty good, but I didn’t know what to expect because this was the first time in an electric car for me. Electric cars will be used in World RX from 2022 and the cars expected to be faster than the current Supercars. “As the whole world is going more and more towards electric cars, I think this car will be a very good step before RX1 [Supercar from 2021]. It’s really what I think RX2 is now before going to a Supercar. I think the new electric Supercar will be faster than the current Supercar, and the RX2e will be faster than the RX2, so it’s a good step to learn in rallycross.
