2016 Global RallyCross Championship

The 2016 Red Bull Global RallyCross Championship was the sixth season of the Global RallyCross Championship. Scott Speed was the reigning Supercars champion and Oliver Eriksson was the reigning GRC Lites champion. The schedule consisted of twelve rounds at eight different venues. The season started at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park on May 21 and it concluded at the Port of Los Angeles on October 9.

Schedule edit

A twelve-round provisional calendar was revealed on January 26, 2016 with the sixth, seventh and eighth round to be announced, though it was certain the sixth and seventh round would take place on a military base.[1] On March 3, 2016 GRC announced the eighth round would take place in Atlantic City[2] and on June 1, 2016 GRC announced the sixth and seventh round would take place at the Marine Corps Air Station New River.[3] It was the first time since the 2012 season that all events were held in the United States.
