Absent from the FIA European Rallycross Championship calendar since 2013, Nyirád's return to the schedule was eagerly anticipated – and the high-octane action did not disappoint, as drivers relished the challenge posed by the ‘Red Cauldron', so-called because of the distinctive colour of its gravel, having been built on the site of a former bauxite quarry.
In Euro RX3 category, Pauwels and ÄŒerný, both equipped with BRAID wheels had a fierce duel throughout the weekend, but it was not until the very last lap of the very last race that the Belgian succeeded in turning the tables, overhauling his Czech rival almost within touching distance of the chequered flag. Both Fullrace RX 8”x17” and Forged RX 8”x17” once again showed excellent performance throughout the weekend under the most demanding conditions.
The 2022 Euro RX campaign will continue on 2-3 July at iconic Swedish circuit Höljes, which will additionally play host to the opening round of the FIA RX2e Championship and the Official Launch of World RX's new electric era.
