FIA World RX 2023: World RX of South Africa

After a near-four-month void following a fire incident in Brands Hatch last July that burnt the electric Delta RX machines, the 2023 FIA World Rallycross Championship is back with two venues left; South Africa and Hong Kong. The action continues in Killarney for the two-part World RX of South Africa as the title contenders; Johan Kristofferson, Niclas Gronholm, and Kevin Hansen, are trying to pick up the pieces after the summer hiatus.

The first part of their South African campaign saw Johan Kristofferson nailed his fourth win of the season, beating the likes of Kevin Hansen and Timo Scheider. However, in the second part, a reversal was done with Timo Scheider ending Kristofferson's undefeated streak of the season by winning his first World RX race while Kristofferson finished 3rd. Kevin Hansen finished 2nd.

After Killarney, Kristofferson remains in the lead with 107 points while Kevin Hansen is promoted to 2nd with 71 points and Timo Scheider is now at third with 68 points.

Who will win the 2023 FIA World Rallycross Championship, find out in the first-ever World RX of Hong Kong this November 11-12. Don't miss it!
