During the Preseason Show for the iRacing Rallycross World Championship Series Presented by Yokohama, the 28 drivers competing this year, two drivers for each of the 14 teams, were announced for the 2021 season.
Yohann Harth, the defending 2020 Series Champion, will make the move from Team Yokohama over to Subaru Motorsports USA. Along with both of those teams, other teams as SET Esports, SET Esports Team GRX, Hansen Williams Esports, Ed Carpenter Racing, Jim Beaver Esports, Nitro Circus, Loenbro Motorsports and Kligerman Sport return from the 2020 season.
New teams entering the series in 2021 include Rahal Letterman Lanigan Esports, Logitech G Altus Esports, Elliott Sadler Esports and Vermont SportsCar, a technical partner of the existing Subaru Motorsports USA. While many of the series regulars like Alex Bergeron, Jon Robertson and Josh Fox return to the fold, some new faces are in the field.

Personally, it’s really cool to see eNASCAR representation not only with some eNASCAR teams like Jim Beaver, Kligerman Sport and newcomer Elliott Sadler Esports, but also drivers like Garrett Manes, Vicente Salas and Matt Bussa who return for 2021.
Keep your eyes on Killian Dall’olmo, who finished third in the DiRT Rally 2.0 World Series Season 2 rallycross championship in February of this year.
The season opens on Wednesday at Daytona Int’l Speedway on the Long Rallycross course. The broadcast will be on the iRacing social channels and presented by talent from RaceSpotTV.
