The US-based Global RallyCross series has agreed a multi-year partnership with NBC Sports Group, beginning with the 2014 GRC season.
In 2014 nine of the ten Global RallyCross events will be shown on NBC TV, with re-broadcast taking place on the NBCSN. As the second round of the GRC series makes part of the X Games in Austin, Texas, it will feature again on ESPN. “This is a great step forward for Red Bull Global RallyCross,” says series CEO Colin Dyne. “Partnering with NBC will allow us to bring our events to millions of our existing fans, and welcome new fans as well. We look forward to delivering unparalleled, high-octane race action.”
