The entry list for the first two rounds of the 2020 FIA World Rallycross Championship have been revealed featuring 17 drivers.

It will be over nine months since the last World RX event and it is all ready to get underway at Holjes with a double-header with a star-studded field including defending champion Timmy Hansen, returning two-time world champion Johan Kristoffersson, last year’s runner-up Andreas Bakkerud with new team GCK and winner at Holjes in 2019, Sebastian Eriksson in a Honda Civic.

Timmy Hansen will race with the number one on his Peugeot 208 whilst Kevin Hansen will race with the number nine as Team Hansen embark on defending their teams’ title.

Another unchanged team is GRX Taneco as Niclas Gronholm and Timur Timerzyanov pair up for a third consecutive season together.

Bakkerud will partner Liam Doran once again but this time with the Monster Energy GCK RX Cartel team and will be a championship contender.

Anton Marklund and GCK Bilstein have high hopes too coming into the new season in his Renault Megane whilst GCK Unkorrupted‘s line-up of Rokas Baciuska and GC Kompetition owner Guerlain Chicerit will race in a pair of Renault Clios.

Starting their first full-time season are KYB Team JC with the European Rallycross champion Robin Larsson and Janis Baumanis.

Timo Scheider is back on the grid with ALL-INKL.COM Muennich Motorsport, this time in a two-car team as fellow German Rene Munnich joins him.
