DRX German Rallycross Championship — Oschersleben Season Finale

Showdown in the Börde District

The German Rallycross Championship – DRX for short – is the national top class of a discipline that combines an asphalt circuit and a gravel track in one race. The 2026 season finale is the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in the Börde district (state of Saxony-Anhalt): On October 10th and 11th, 2026, the double-header will take place here, meaning two full race events in one weekend with maximum points. The organizer calls it a "Showdown" – those with title chances must deliver in Oschersleben.

Rallycross — Asphalt, Gravel, Joker Lap

Rallycross follows clear rules: Cars of different classes start side-by-side on a mix of asphalt (60%) and gravel (40%). Each driver must take the Joker Lap once per race – an alternative, longer route – which forces overtakes and strategic decisions. This makes rallycross the most spectator-friendly form of motorsport: short, aggressive heats, lots of action, spray, and contact.

Motorsport Arena Oschersleben

The Motorsport Arena Oschersleben is one of the most renowned race tracks in Central Germany. It was opened in 1997 and hosts DTM, ADAC GT Masters, the MotoGP calendar, and DRX events annually. The rallycross track uses part of the layout; grandstands, pit facilities, and a camping area make the venue a complete weekend venue.

2026 Season and Classes

The 2026 DRX season includes five events in Germany and the Netherlands: Season opener April 18th/19th in Buxtehude (Double Header), May 23rd/24th in Gründau (Double Header), June 20th/21st Valkenswaard (NL, Single Header), August 22nd/23rd Schlüchtern (Single Header), October 10th/11th Finale Oschersleben (Double Header).
