  1. A WORLD FIRST SsangYong and Zelos have joined forces to set up a completely new rallycross format: a single-model cup contest using a pick-up with a co-driver on board. Accessibility and enjoyment are the two watchwords for this innovative series. It is designed to allow as many people as possible the experience of a unique rallycross event, one of the most popular car sports ove- rall, with prestigious names like Sébastien Loeb, Petter Solberg or Ken Block. THE SSANGYONG RALLYCROSS CUP: A NEW EVENT IN CAR RACING The all new championship will start up on 5th March 2017 in Maasmechelen during the opening round of the Belgian Rallycross Championship, which is organised by the Belgian Off-Road Asso- ciation (BORA) - a division of RACB - and will run until 5th November 2017, when the championship is concluded. The award will go to the best car, which means that teams can share driving duties if they wish. A completely new fjxture in the world of motor sports, SRX is intended to allow access to a very wide audience and offer an entry level event for all drivers . Low registration fees mean that teams will be able to use up to 3 drivers per meeting, but will also be able to use each session to work out the best crew combinations by switching co-pilots during the day. This option is unique in racing on the circuit and will allow the greatest number of participants to benefjt from multiple sessions on each race day.

  2. SRX: A UNIQUE FORMAT The all-new series allows everyone to join in a real championship, with real racing cars for a very affordable price. Clearly, SRX intends to make motor sports more accessible for a wider audience to actively compete alongside the RACB Belgian Rallycross Championship. affordable participation in motor la pratique du sport automobile à sports events moindre coût chance of a lifetime to com- pete in rallycross, the most maximum safety Une fmexibilité complète dans le des conditions de entertaining and exciting conditions choix des pilotes tout au long de sécurité maximales motor sports event of all la saison ALL all levels of driving un niveau de pilotage LEVELS skills one comprehensive accessible à tous Une fmexibilité complète dans le format without the usual choix des pilotes tout au long de administrative and la saison logistics issues integration in the Belgian Ral- l’intégration au Championnat lycross Championship, which compulsory co-pilots - un- de Belgique de Rallycross qui guarantees professionalism in heard of in Europe! garantit le professionnalisme the organisation of the races dans l’organisation des courses complete fmexibility in the une fmexibilité complète choice of drivers for the dans le choix des pilotes entire season tout au long de la saison

  3. ALL LEVEL OF DRIVING SKILLS Anyone who is passionate about motor sports – be it experienced drivers or amateurs, businesses, customers or staff - are welcome to compete in this new rally series, where enjoyment and adre- naline are the watchwords. The SsangYong Actyon Sports pick-up has been chosen for its affordability and the fact that it is unusual in motor sports. Although preparations are the same as with “real” racing cars, absolu- tely anyone can drive this pick-up. Sharing the excitement as a team is part of the deal, as each car must have a driver and a co-pilot on board. IMPORTANT: the driver can be switched out up to 3 times during a race and even for each round. The championship is based on the total points accumulated by the car over several events and it doesn’t matter who the driver is. That means there is a multitude of options for e.g. spreading the costs for the entire season across multiple entities or for a company to invite several partners and/or members of staff to partici- pate. There are absolutely no restraints as to the team confjguration. During one racing weekend, up to 3 people could drive the car and have multiple co-pilots! All this is intended to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for as many people as pos - sible. The only requirements for getting involved: participants must be over 16 years of age and have an RACB licence. This licence is compulsory for drivers as well as for co-pilots. An annual licence can be purchased for €85.

  5. LE SRX: GENERAL OUTLINE

  6. SRX: A QUALITY CHAMPIONSHIP The races will take place in parallel to the Belgian Rallycross Championship, which guarantees complete professionalism due to the expertise of the Belgian Off-Road Association (BORA), a di - vision of RACB. Participants of SRX therefore have the full support of a professional structure and are bound by the same regulations as the drivers in the Belgian Championship. The presence of other drivers is a great opportunity for learning and skill development as well. Furthermore, the Belgian Championship attract an audience of enthusiasts at every race stage, ensuring high visibility for all SRX team partners. “This new series is a very attractive project. Hosting SRX alongside the Belgian Rallycross Cham- pionship is a stroke of genius and a great way for our sport to gain recognition. The concept of SRX fjts in perfectly with rallycross. We have to think about tomorrow and take a risk, push boundaries and go beyond what we are used to. This mindset is represented by the added “joker lap” and up- dated fjnals. The same was done for the RST Junior Cup, which gave Kevin Abbring the opportunity to show what he can do and allowed him to reach the level he is at today.” - Liliane Notermans , Director of RX Belgium CUPS WITHIN THE CUP Created to be part of a larger federation, SRX will be unique in offering individual cups. SsangYong dealers and the media will have their own challenges integrated into the championship. This is a fantastic opportunity for amateur drivers to get involved and excel! SRX Media Cup During each round, the media have the chance to discover the new vehicle series inside and out. They will also have the opportunity of inviting their readers, listeners and/or viewers to join them at the race track and share in a unique event fjrst hand. At the end of the season, the SRX Media Cup will be awarded to the most competitive media team.

  7. SRX Dealers Cup SsangYong dealers who want to get involved can rent their own SsangYong Actyon Sports pick- up. The Dealers cup, which has been designed for them specifjcally, will allow the SsangYong network to get actively involved in the project. The SRX Dealers Cup, which will also be awarded by SsangYong, will be presented to the dealership that achieves the best results over the whole season.
