Polaris GRC, a new class for side-by-side vehicles in Red Bull GRC competition, will feature the new Polaris RZR RS1. The driver-focused platform will compete on the full schedule of the Red Bull GRC season in a 12-race championship.

“This class opens up GRC rallycross racing to a whole new world of competitors, and we’re sure that our future champions will be born in this class,” said Colin Dyne, Red Bull GRC CEO.

To prepare the Polaris RZR RS1 for GRC competition, certain modifications are required focused primarily around driver safety and making the vehicle ready for GRC racing. All vehicles must be fitted with the Polaris GRC Competition Pack, developed in partnership with PJ’s Performance in Scottsdale, Arizona, headed by off-road, Indycar, IMSA and NASCAR driver PJ Jones. The Competition Pack includes a custom roll cage, racing seat, wide-track suspension, brakes and performance modifications and is available on a first-come, first served basis for $28,500. The series is now open for reservations for all interested parties.

Polaris GRC will also be fully supported with trackside service provided at each round of the Polaris GRC championship featuring technical assistance and spare parts available to all competitors.

All Polaris GRC rounds will be aired on NBC television and a soon to be announced Turner digital platform.

The 2018 schedule for the Polaris GRC championship is as follows:

Rounds 1-2: Buffalo, NY (June 9-10)

Round 3: New Orleans, LA (June 23-24)
