2017 FIA World RX Round 3: Germany live broadcast replay | Corpus Christi | McGraw Ford
The 2017 FIA World Rallycross Championship made its thrilling return to Hockenheim, Germany, for Round 3. This iconic track, nestled in Germany's Rhine Valley, has a storied history dating back to the 1930s. Known for its high-speed racing through the pine forests, Hockenheim gained fame in the 1960s and continues to be a revered venue in motorsport. The massive grandstands and the notorious Sax Curve set the stage for an exhilarating World RX event. With the championship leader Matias Ekstrom and other top contenders like Johan Kristoffersson and Sebastien Loeb in action, fans were treated to a weekend of intense racing and strategic maneuvers.
Hockenheim's track is a blend of historical tarmac and gravel sections, providing a unique challenge for drivers. The circuit is just over 1200 meters long, featuring tight hairpins and the famous Sax Curve, which allows rallycross cars to exploit the camber for optimal grip. The Joker Lap, a strategic element, adds to the excitement, offering a different route that can influence race outcomes. In the previous round in Portugal, Ekstrom showcased his skill with a commanding performance, while Kristoffersson and Loeb demonstrated their prowess, setting the stage for a competitive showdown in Germany.
