World Rallycross in Central… to quote a well-known tennis player “You cannot be serious”. But it’s true and it’s happening this weekend, and well if you haven’t got a ticket yet… you’re gonna miss out on an action-packed weekend the likes of which Hong Kong has not seen before.
Rather than try to explain Rally Cross to you, watch this introductory video to the event… It’s Fast and Furious happening in Central!
To see the track being built on the Central Harbourfront… it’s silly, it’s stupid… but fuck is it wonderful. And massive kudos and respect to those who have made it happen.
This is the final round of the 2023 WorldRX Championship and Sweden’s Johan Kristoffersson has a commanding lead in the standings having won four races.
The races are being live-streamed on WorldRX TV
