RallyCross Lites are similar to Ford RallyCross, but all drivers compete in identically-prepared cars with 310-horsepower. By making all the cars the same and leveling the competition, players are forced to take chances to fight for position on the track instead of relying on the power of the vehicle.
It is an exciting but quick race and almost leaves you wanting more, but with such a small field three cars ran into technical difficulties and the tree that finished the race medaled.
Kevin Erikson finished in second and Austin Cindric finished in third place.
If you like RallyCross, the Ford RallyCross quarter-, semi-finals and final are all on Saturday as well.
