Motorsport commentator Andrew Coley has joined Nitro Rallycross (NRX) on a full-time basis as it becomes a racing series for the first time.

With over ten years’ experience covering racing for the BBC, Eurosport, and ITV, Coley will make NRX his primary rallycross event after a multi-year agreement. He is expected to be joined by a wide range of personalities from motorsport, as well as across the wider worlds of action sports and popular culture, as NRX looks to expand its audience.

Originally a single race in the Nitro World Games, NRX is now to become a five-race series on purpose built tracks in 2021, followed by a 10-stop international championship across North America, Europe and the Middle East in 2022.

Nitro Rallycross will be available on TV in 130 countries, and is currently in talks with a major US broadcaster as well as a global live streaming partner.
