• The FIA announced in September 2025 that from the 2026 season the European Championship would again be the top category of international rallycross. The top class will only be populated by internal combustion cars. The announcement also included intent to establish the Rallycross World Cup; a competition in rallycross outside of Europe bringing together the best drivers from across the globe for a non-championship event showdown. When the
World Rally Championship applies new technical regulations in 2028, those same regulations will be applied in rallycross with the goal of bringing back the FIA World Rallycross Championship for the 2028 season. • Two new classes were introduced. The RX4 class will utilize current
Rally4 machinery with minimal adaptions outside of removing the co-drivers seat and associated equipment. The RX5 class will utilize the technical specifications from the FIA European
Cross Car Championship. • On 10 March 2026, the FIA announced that the previously announced Rallycross World Cup would take place in
Jakarta, Indonesia at the
Jakarta International e-Prix Circuit on 5-6 December 2026. The drivers will compete in RX1-class vehicles, and the event will follow
classic rallycross format. == Entries ==
