Red Bull Global Rallycross Series adds New Orleans, Europe to 2018 Calendar

The Red Bull Global Rallycross Series has announced its events calendar for the 2018 racing season.

This year the growing race series will kick off with an event in Louisville, Kentucky on May 19-20, before heading to a yet-to-be-announced location for the second event of the season on June 9-10 – a doubleheader. It will then make its way to Los Angeles on June 23-24 and head to Indianapolis for a double-header weekend on August 11-12. The season continues with a doubleheader in Atlantic City on August 25-26 and a race in Seattle on September 15-16. The schedule closes out with an event in a yet-to-be-announced European city on October 27-28.

GRC’s return to Europe will mark the first time it’s raced there since 2013. Events that have been dropped from the calendar for 2018 include Memphis, TN, Thompson, CT, and Ottawa, Canada.

“This year’s strong slate of fan-favorite domestic stops, coupled with a return to Europe to wrap up the 2018 championship, guarantee an off-the-charts season,” said Red Bull GRC CEO Colin Dyne.  “Add into the mix the launch of our new Polaris RZR side-by-side class, there is no doubt GRC continues to expand the rallycross landscape!”

Fans looking for more information on the 2018 GRC season, such as ticketing info and broadcast details, can check RedBullGRC.com, or the series’ various social media channels, for up-to-date information.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
