Talk:Global Rallycross

Latest comment: 4 months ago by Motorsport-archive in topic Split from Global Rallycross

Global Rallycross was bought in 2011 by Colin Dyne and investors , the series joined up with Redbull in 2013 and the series became RedBull Global Rallycross , the series ran on ESPN and then switched to the NBC Network for 5 years earning too ratings .

The series focused in on track great racing and amazing events. Due to Subaru exiting the series and trying to lure other teams to leave RBGC the series has no choice but to fold. GRC later on found that Subaru intentionally tried to destroy GRC, GRC then filed a major lawsuit against Subaru which is now in Federal court. GRC hopes to prevail in this case due to the evidence of such facts.

All attempts to copy or restart GRC were unsuccessful by parties like Subaru, IMG , Max Pusher and Travis Pastrana the series never gained the noterietery it had when managed by Dyne and his team .

Season Standings edit

I've altered this somewhat as it seemed confusing to mark a car as DQ (Heikkenen in round 1, Isachsen in round 2) when they finished 10th in the event and scored 7 points, and cars DNQ that still scored points for that event.

The results are now from the whole event, not just the last race.

Titans-RXGlobal Rallycross – The series existed for far longer under the prior name, and from what I can tell received far more coverage during that time period too. It's also somewhat unclear whether Global Rallycross (the original subject of this article) and Titans-RX are actually the same entity or just loosely connected entities operating in the same field. From what I can tell Titans-RX is now either defunct or sufficiently dormant to not be receiving any ongoing media coverage.

  • Support move - Article appears to have been moved to the current title with no regards for naming policy, a bad habit across the whole wikiproject that needs to be stopped post-haste. I support reverting to Global Rallycross as the very obvious WP:COMMONNAME. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 05:45, 2 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Support move per nom, and strongly agree with GhostOfDanGurney's sentiment above. A7V2 (talk) 07:47, 9 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Split from Global Rallycross edit

Titans RX should not be considered a continuation of the US-based Global Rallycross (GRC) series. While TitansRX originally planned to use the GRC moniker, the two were entirely separate in ever ly single way and thus shoyld be separated on Wikipedia. 88.108.131.7 (talk) 06:03, 20 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Confirming this is the case. Titans RX used the cars that would have been part of GRC's Platinum series had GRC made it to 2019, but fundamentally the personnel, leadership, and most other aspects were different. GRC staff was not retained to work on Titans RX. These should never have been combined. 2600:4040:5010:5F00:8434:4B48:A46D:13CC (talk) 21:14, 9 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Those are to separate entites not related each other. They should be split again into two articles. --Motorsport-archive (talk) 13:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
This still needs doing. Global Rallycross and TitansRX were two entirely separate entities that were never related. TitansRX certainly wasn't a continuation of GRC.
I say this as a former employee of TitansRX who also occasionally worked in GRC. 86.29.207.75 (talk) 02:53, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I resolved this and split the articles and removed every cross reference. I added a note to the TitansRX article referring to the GRC Europe name. --Motorsport-archive (talk) 17:33, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
