Another Modern Citroen in the USA -- Liam Doran - Global Rally Cross Championship Citroen C4 -- UPDATE: Sebastian Loeb also to Attend!


Liam Doran's Citroen C4

Liam Doran is a Leading British Rally Cross Racer. Rally Cross - essentially a more professional version of parking lot Auto Cross - is one of the closest things to Professional level Rally Racing we have here in the United States. Unlike WRC, the Global Rally Cross Championship does tour through the US, and Liam Doran has several commitments on the tour. He will be bringing his Monster Energy Citroen C4 in to the country, and you can see it on the dates listed below. It's the only time you're likely to see someone in the US (other than me) wearing a Citroen Racing crew shirt.

UPDATE: Eight time WRC World Champion Sebastian Loeb will also be competing at the XGames, and will be driving a Citroën DS3 XL. See the XGames link below for details.

Just as with the Citroen C0 that drove across the United States, Liam's Citroen Citroen C4 Race Car is temporarily imported under NTHSA rules exactly for this sort of competitive activity.

8-9 June Round 3 Global Rallycross Championship Texas Motor Speedway
9-10 June Pikes Peak Hillclimb Test Pike's Peak, Colorado
30 June - 1 July XGAMES 18 / Round 4 Global Rallycross Championship Los Angeles, California
13-14 July Round 4 Global Rallycross Championship New Hampshire Motor Speedway
26-27 August Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORS) Reno, Nevada
