The NASA Rallycross Challenge, officially the Overwatch Specialty Service NASA Rallycross Challenge, is an eSports league for Rallycross on iRacing. Founded in 2012 on NASCAR 2003, the series moved to iRacing in 2018. After a poor car count, the series went back to NR2003 for one season. Since 2020, the series has been on iRacing. The series has featured numerous WCS drivers, such as Connor Parise, Sindre Silva, Jake Robertson, and Beau Albert, among others. These pro drivers have described NASA as the perfect practice space for the iRacing Rallycross World Championship.
History
Early Beginnings (July 2012-December 2012)
In July of 2012, longtime friends Josh Mertz and Dylan Livengood partnered together to make a series modeling the real-world Global Rallycross Championship, utilizing the rally car mod on NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. The series ran on exclusively custom built tracks using Sandbox.
The series modeled the Global Rallycross Championship, using Heat races, Last Chance Qualifier, and a Feature.
