Open 4WD
The Ultimate Showdown
With a two-litre turbocharged engine producing over 600 horsepower under the bonnet and cars capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in less than two seconds, the Open 4WD category is simply the most spectacular. Forget Formula 1 or WRC – here there is no compromise as the drivers approach the first corner.
However, Open 4WD is not limited to Supercar-compliant vehicles. RallyX has taken the bold decision to open its doors to a wider range of competitors.
Any four-wheel drive vehicle can compete in the Open 4WD category. From electric vehicles such as the RX1e, Zeroid X1/RX2e and E-Projekt to internal combustion machines such as the T3F/Division 3, RallyX offers fans a true battleground of technologies.
From the 2024 season, Open 4WD has welcomed FC2 vehicles, built on a tubular chassis and powered by a turbocharged 550 hp engine, capable of competing with the best machines on the grid.
The Ultimate Proving Ground
With a tubular chassis and a 2.4-litre naturally aspirated engine producing 310bhp, the Supercar Lites category has established itself as the premier proving ground for drivers looking to prove themselves before moving up to Supercars/Open 4WD.
Since its inception in 2013, Supercar Lites has unearthed some of the greatest talent in rallycross history. Precision driving and racing lines are the key to success – any mistake is instantly punished by the chronometer. There is no room for luck in Supercar Lites. Every driver has the same car, so only pure talent makes the difference.
Open to drivers from the age of 16, Supercar Lites provides the perfect platform for young talent to progress from CrossCar Junior and prepare for the challenges of Open 4WD with the new FC2 machine.

Where Limits Don’t Exist
Introduced for the 2022 season, the Open 2WD category takes no prisoners. With highly permissive rules, it allows both passionate enthusiasts and experienced drivers to unleash their creativity – as long as they have a two-wheel-drive car.
One thing is certain: diversity is the category’s greatest strength. Some competitors push the limits with turbocharged Wankel engines in excess of 600 hp, while others prefer more conventional naturally aspirated setups. Despite their old-school looks, these cars are packed with cutting-edge technology, such as the hybrid Mercedes driven by 2022 RallyX champion Viktor Johansson.
There’s no doubt that Open 2WD is a paradise for both drivers and the most ingenious engineers.
A Breeding Ground for Raw Talent
Introduced in 2019, the CrossCar category has quickly become a talent incubator. The majority of drivers are barely over 20 years old, yet the championship attracts the best Scandinavian specialists.
With an unrivalled power-to-weight ratio and a 140hp engine in a car weighing between 425 and 460kg, these nimble machines are more than capable of matching Supercars in terms of pure speed.

The Future Champions in the Making
They may only be 11 to 15 years old, but once behind the wheel they drive like seasoned pros. As in Supercar Lites, engine power is deliberately limited by regulations, making precision driving an absolute necessity.
This category is the perfect stepping stone to learn the nuances of rallycross before moving up to Senior CrossCar or following in the footsteps of Lukas Andersson and Joni Turpeinen.
In 2023 Andersson made history by finishing third in the Supercar Lites championship at the age of 15, while in 2024 Joni Turpeinen became the youngest driver ever to win the Open 4WD title – just one year after competing in CrossCar Junior.
