Multiple RallyX Cross Car event-winner Vetle Try will make his American motorsport debut next week at RallyX Americas in Trois-Rivieres, Canada [August 22-23] driving an FC2 Supercar.
17-year-old Try made his FC2 debut at the Holjes ‘Magic Weekend’ in July within the Swedish Rallycross Championship, and will now contest the Canadian round of RallyX Americas in the four-wheel-drive Supercar category.
Victory in the opening weekend of the 2026 RallyX Cross Car campaign at the Eurocircuit in Valkenswaard was subsequently followed by four further podiums and third overall in the RallyX Cross Car South series, coupled with fifth in the RallyX North standings this year.
On his debut in four-wheel-drive machinery, Try set a best qualifying time of P3 at Holjes in July, and claimed championship points with P5 at the Intermediate Classification. He just missed out on a place in the final.
Now Try will line up alongside Supercar championship-leading team mate Lukas Andersson for the Canadian event, held at arguably the most established rallycross venue in North America.
Joel Christoffersson, JC Raceteknik Team Principal:
“Vetle has shown his speed over the last few seasons with us in Cross Car and although the final place in the Cross Car championship, and also the result at Holjes this summer wasn’t what he deserved, he showed he is capable in the FC2 as well. It will be exciting for him to drive alongside Lukas with us for the race in Canada next week. It’s a circuit we have been to many times, this time will be really interesting and we can’t wait to get going.”
Vetle Try (NOR):
“Canada is a legendary track, renowned as one of the best circuits drivers have ever experienced. There are always big crowds there, and I’ve long dreamed of driving on the track I used to race on in video games. I’m keeping my expectations realistic; I’m going there to learn as much as possible about the car and simply enjoy doing what I love. Of course, I do have some expectations—specifically, to keep pace with the other drivers—and my ultimate goal is to finish as high up the results list as possible. The FC2 experience at Holjes was incredible. I had a blast with the car and learned a huge amount about how to handle it over the weekend. There are significant differences between an FC2 and a Cross Car; in a Cross Car you sit in the center of the vehicle, whereas in an FC2, you sit on the left. The driving style is also much more composed in an FC2 compared to a Cross Car —there’s less sliding and more focus on driving cleanly through the corner, whereas with a Cross Car, you have to set the car up well in advance of the turn. Canada is going to be an awesome race that I’ll never forget – huge thanks to JC Raceteknik for this opportunity.”
