Nitro Rallycross announces Sweden On Sale Details
2-DAY WEEKEND EVENING COMES
STRANGNAS MOTORSTADION 30-31 JULY;
TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE FROM 3 JUNE FRIDAY
(Los Angeles – Tuesday 31 May 2022) Nitro Rallycross has announced sales details for the Swedish stop for its first global series. The new disruptive force in motorsport will come to Strangnas Motorstadion on July 30-31 for an action-packed weekend of racing that will be this summer’s largest Swedish event.
Motorsport icon Travis Pastrana will aim to take the checkered flag of Group E, Nitro RX’s new top class, with the most powerful vehicle in rallycross: the electrifying FC1-X. To top the podium, Pastrana must face the world’s best driver on the Nitro RX’s tough tracks, which push the boundaries of competitors with huge jumps, overturned turns and steep frames. So far, Nitro RX includes Sweden’s stacked line-up Sweden’s Robin Larsson (DRR JC) and Norway’s Andreas Bakkerud (DRR JC), and more driver announcements coming soon.
Nitro Rallycross Sweden will also present more powerful racing action, including the iconic Supercar class, the development department NRX Next – which will include the female Swedish motorsport star Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky (JC Raceteknik) – and more.
Pastrana said, “” We are so happy to take Nitro Rallycross to Sweden. Fans are super passionate about motorsport and it is home to some of rallycross’ biggest names. On tour in the world with Nitro Circus, the crew always looked forward to the energy that the Swedish fans brought to the arena. I’m not sure there is a better fit for the high adrenaline rush and door-to-door racing in Nitro Rallycross. ”
Tickets will be released Friday – June 3 – and will be available at nirorallycross.com. Both general weekend tickets and premium VIP access via Club Nitro RX cards will be available. More information on the Club Nitro RX’s premium amenities is described below.
Nitro RX Sweden will be the second of ten rounds held in six countries, after the series starts on the UK’s legendary Lydden Hill on 18-19 June. Additional stops include locations in the United States, Finland, Canada and Saudi Arabia, all of which are building for the first global championship in the Nitro RX series.
Sweden fans will see the competition debut of FC1-X. This revolutionary vehicle delivers the electrical equivalent of 1,070 top horsepower (800 kW) and accelerates from 0-60 in just 1.4 seconds, starting faster off-line than an F1 car. Nitro RX competitors got their first taste of FC1-X’s game-changing capabilities during pre-season testing last month and were impressed. This summer, with league points and championship standings at stake, look for drivers to take off their gloves.
FC1-X will flex its muscles in Nitro RX’s new top group E-division. Just as the legendary Group B cars set fire to the motorsport world in the 1980s, the Nitro RX’s new Group E class will make another quantum leap. That inspiration, supercharged by Nitro Circus’ groundbreaking DNA, will show the enormous performance potential of electric vehicles unleashed by the fastest rallycross cars ever seen.
In addition to the competition debuts for FC1-X and Group E, the Nitro RX 2022-23 will have an expanded range of powerful racing. Internal combustion supercars will return, giving fans a double dose of elite rallycross racing while the NRX Next is also back, paving the way for the next generation of drivers. Nitro RX Sweden will also include a special CrossCar competition, which offers fans even more wide-open action.
This season, fans can enjoy enhanced experience elements at every Nitro RX stop, including the opportunity to immerse themselves completely in the event with the all-new Club Nitro RX. Featured by a private viewing area and a brand new Club Nitro RX area, passport holders will enjoy all-inclusive food and beverage, a private lounge, on-site entertainment and a chance to meet Nitro RX drivers. This new premium experience puts fans at the center of events all weekend.
