The 12 rounds are spread out on 4 continents, starting May next year and ending in November. They even have a round in Hell!
03-04/05 Montalegre (Portugal)
24-25/05 Lydden Hill (Great Britain)
14–15/06 Hell (Norway)
28–29/06 Kouvola (Finland)
05–06/07 Höljes (Sweden)
12–13/07 Mettet (Belgium)
07–08/08 Trois-Rivières (Canada)
06–07/09 Lohéac (France)
20–21/09 Buxtehude (Germany)
27–28/09 Franciacorta (Italy)
11–12/10 Istanbul Park (Turkey)
22–23/11 Cordoba or Misones TBC (Argentina)
Crazy how fast this series is expanding now, and with this calendar they sure have the right to call it a World Championship. Let's hope that there will be drivers from the whole world as well.

This has nothing to do with Global Rallycross correct?

The way you typed the date is insanely non-precise and confusing.
Here is the list :

If they aired this at reasonable times on reasonable channels, loads and loads of Americans would get into rallying because they would see how cool it is.

Not any information yet, but some of the events this year were availible on stream in countries that didn't show it on TV. Petter Solberg have said that every event next year will be sent live. Hopefully you Americans can catch up on this series, it's really entertaining.

Did a slight edit, so that it should read easier. It's as precise as it can be.

No, this is the traditional rallycross series, associated with the FIA.

The European way to write dates is different from the North American way. For example:
European: Day/Month/Year (Sensical)
North American: Month/Day/Year (Not for the OCD types)
Hence the "confusing" nature of the calendar above. Instead of throwing around negative adjectives, maybe you should ask questions.

im sure there are plenty of Americans watching, it'll be cool if it were on TV at a point but an online stream seems to be the best bet for now

I receive answers without even asking for a question.
Wasn't mean by the way, But I have to admit the way I wrote it it sounds agressive.

Fair enough. Aggressive level on my post turned down to 1 now.

Wow that's a pretty awesome schedule. I really hope this championship has success especially here in North America. I'd love to see a US round included.

I'm so pissed I missed the Global RallyX Championship in Vegas last month... I was there for business staying at Mandalay Bay— ACROSS THE STREET!

I may try to get up to Canada for their round. It'll be good to see proper rallycross

I'll also try to get (at least) one round this year, either Hell or Höljes. Most likely Höljes as it's only a 3 hour drive opposed to a 6 hour drive for Hell.

So, what's the difference and which one should I watch. How is this different that WRC? I'm really into F1 and MotoGP - what's the premier series for rally?

It's not much of a difference for someone that hasn't seen a lot of rallycross. The World Rallycross Championship has mainly European drivers, has a lot of tradition and purpose built tracks with a lot of history. Global Rallycross is the main rallycross series in the USA, with mostly American drivers and a connection to the X-games. The tracks are usually just built for that event inside a stadium or a NASCAR infield.
The difference between WRC and rallycross, as you might have realized, is that they run races on closed circuits with mixed surfaces, and not timed runs on a regular road like they do in the WRC. The rallycross cars also have twice the power, and no codrivers.
So, WRC (rally) and rallycross are two different things. GRC and WorldRX are very similar, it's like the difference between Indycar and F1. I'd suggest you pick up a few rounds next year (I'll make a season preview for both series'), and then you'll see if you like it.
