VRC have introduced a new and exciting racing class in VRC Pro, called Rally X (Rally Cross). Based on the popular WRX style rally racing, VRC Pro delivers a completely new r/c racing experience, a true mix of on and offroad racing on special Rally X tracks. Rally X events will also visit existing on-road tracks like Heemstede and Messina in the future with these tracks converted to RallyX style tracks for these events. The 2016 VRC Worlds kick off with Rally X on the X1 track located in a harbor container terminal area. The X1 and MACH-X tracks will be the first tracks available for Rally X. Rally X is a new class of r/c racing that is unique to VRC Pro. Rally car racing does not exist in real life r/c racing, but as it combines on and off-road racing many r/c racers are expected to embrace this spectacular class. Rally X will be released on November 29 when the 2016 VRC Worlds kick off on X1.
