The 2025 World Rallycross Championship’s season finale in Türkiye will become a double-header event in September.
When the original calendar was announced for the first season under the promotion of the FIA, the sixth and final slot was left as ‘TBA’ after events in Portugal, Sweden, Hungary, Finland and Türkiye .
But today it was confirmed that Türikye’s Istanbul Park will now play host to two rounds of the championship on September 20-21.
FIA road sport director, Emilia Abel, said: “We have been considering a number of options for the final race of the season, and through collaboration with our competitors and suppliers have agreed that the double-header in Türkiye will deliver an exciting conclusion to the 2025 season, and allow us to build stronger foundations for the 2026 season and beyond.
“The 2025 season has already delivered exciting racing across a great mixture of venues this year and is testament to the health of the championship. We continue to work hard to capitalise on this momentum, finish the season in style at Istanbul Park where we have seen fantastic action in the past, and build a strong calendar for next year.”
Seven-time FIA World RX champion Johan Kristoffersson currently leads the championship ahead of round four next week (August 23-24).
