Thread: Grönholm to European Rallycross Championship?

Marcus Gr?nholm want's to race! According to him it would be fun to attend some of the European rallycross events this year.

FIA European Rallycross Championship (ERC) cars are built based on production car body shells but are extensively modified. A typical ERC series car technical specifications are a 2 litre turbocharged 4 cylinder 16 valve engine with a 45 mm turbo restrictor rated at +550 bhp (410 kW) and 800 N?m (590 ft?lbf) of torque, four wheel drive with programmable active differentials and six-speed gearbox, 1200 kg (current FIA regulations) and will do the 0?100 km/h (about 0?62 mph) sprint in less than 2.5 seconds, thereby faster than a Formula One racer, some other ERC Division 1 cars are already claimed by their drivers to need even less than 2 seconds.

So ERC cars are BEASTS!

That would be great. Rallycross (and ERC in particular) is awesome to watch.

Gr?nholm has signed a contract of six ERC events with Ford. First time he will be behind the wheel in Portugal in the beginning of May.
