As the championship enters its third year and expands globally, all ten events of the 2022-23 Nitro Rallycross season will be shown live on a famous TV channel.
Nearly 80 hours of heats, qualifiers, and main events will be broadcast on internet platforms, with encore presentations on some channel's digital platforms.
The season will go off on June 18-19 at Lydden Hill, England, and will take Nitro Rallycross to six countries and three continents. The series will also travel to Sweden, Finland, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and England. The season will conclude in March 2023 at an undisclosed location in the United States.
In a statement, vice president of programming Mike Perman stated, "We are delighted to continue our association with Nitro Rallycross for a second consecutive season, and Peacock is the perfect site for NRX superfans to come for every minute of live racing." "NRX racing's action-packed, inventive approach is a natural fit for a wide motorsports portfolio."
The calendar from last year had five rounds, with eventual champion and series originator Travis Pastrana winning both times. The 2021 championship was so close that the winner was decided on a tiebreaker; Pastrana defeated Scott Speed. Timmy Hansen won the inaugural championship in 2018 and was only one point behind in third place.
Nitro Rallycross includes purpose-built courses that condense rally racing action into a single arena. The 2021 circuits included a mix of asphalt, dirt, and sand, as well as jumps that lifted the drivers above the roofs of the vehicles racing below. Banked turns gave the course a dirt track feel, allowing cars to collect momentum before blasting down the straights.
"It's fantastic to have Nitro Rallycross back on Peacock for another season," Thrill One Sports & Entertainment CEO Joe Carr remarked. "This season, Nitro RX will expand to ten races worldwide and premiere the FC1-X, our all-electric, 1000+ horsepower supercar." It is the ideal home for our innovative new racing, with market leaders like NASCAR and INDYCAR."
