Today, FloSports, the innovator in live sports and original content, announced an exclusive multi-year agreement with IMG to air the 2018 FIA World Rallycross (World RX) Championship in North America exclusively on FloRacing.com. 

The FIA World Rallycross Championship, now in its fifth season, is one of the largest racing series in motorsports, with partners including Monster Energy and Cooper Tires. Recognized by FIA as the highest class of international rallycross, each race of the World RX consists of qualifying heats, knockout rounds, and a final, making it a uniquely sophisticated series that attracts drivers and fans from around the world. 

The deal provides FloRacing with exclusive rights in North America to live-stream each race in the series, with coverage beginning April 14 at the World RX of Catalunya-Barcelona, and continues through to the season-ending championship event November 24 with the World RX of South Africa. 

“The FIA World Rally Championship is one of the largest and most elite racing series in the world,” FloSports co-founder and COO Mark Floreani said. “The races ignite fans and attract a mass following in the racing community. With events spanning the globe, we’re looking forward to bringing the fervor of World RX to fans in North America and providing an unmatched level of coverage and content for fans all around.”

Said Paul Bellamy, IMG's Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Motorsports: “We’re delighted to be partnering with FloSports to live-stream the World Rallycross Championship to U.S. audiences in 2018 on FloRacing.com. Ahead of the first-ever World RX of USA at COTA, this is a great opportunity for new fans to discover what rallycross is all about.”
