Every major automotive race series is talking about how they are trying to reach a younger audience, yet GRC is the only
one specifically created for it. !
The series showcases the performance and durability of small and mid-sized vehicles and connects those cars with well
known action sports athletes relevant to the young audience.!
Rallycross cars are real production based vehicles, not generic “spec” cars like those found in many other race series
such as NASCAR or IndyCar. Manufacturers and sponsors can market efficiently to millions of potential customers and
achieve high levels of personal identification with the hard fought 16-34 demographic simply through involvement.!

Dynamic Competition!
5 to 10 drivers line up to start at once, each piloting 500+ hp compact cars through race traffic over a challenging short
course that features jumps and transitions between pavement and gravel. Actual finish order determines advancement
through a series of heat eliminations until the main event. The action is non-stop and strategy is critical. The highlight of
the course is an extra element featuring a crossover gap jump where vehicles fly over their competitors. Drivers are
required to take one pass at the jump per heat, which takes more time than the regular lap. Each driver must decide, on
the fly, the best moment to take it.!
