Red Bull Global Rallycross returns to RFK Stadium in Washington DC for its second annual event on August 14-15. Red Bull GRC Washington DC presented by Volkswagen will mark the seventh round of the 2015 season, and a key turning point in the championship chase on a course completely different from last year’s layout.
A total of 22 cars will be competing in the weekend’s event, including one returning driver and three newcomers. In Supercar, Pat Moro makes his first start in a 2015 Red Bull GRC championship event, and his first race since X Games Austin in June, with the PMR Motorsports Chevrolet Sonic, while Logan Gomez joins Bryan Herta Rallysport in a third Ford Fiesta. In GRC Lites, Blas Zapag, the first native of Paraguay to enter a Red Bull GRC event, steps in for Harry Cheung at Rhys Millen Racing, while Joachim Hvaal will run a third Olsbergs MSE entry.
