FIA World RX 2019: World RX of Great Britain

Great Britain may have been plunging into political chaos because of the chaotic Brexit debate but that doesn't stop the FIA World Rallycross Championship to pulling the stops to deliver what was probably known as the last World RX of Great Britain event before the country gets through the Brexit deadline, whatever that means, and because this race is in a middle in what was known to be the loudest race weekend ever, sparks do fly in this event.
