RallyX officials are pleased to welcome Kicker as an official Technical Partner of the series, producing the EV Powertrain Sound System for the First Corner FC1 that competes in RallyX Americas’ Hypercar class. As part of the agreement, Kicker will provide RallyX with systems and technical support required to produce the cutting-edge sound for the Hypercar division, bringing heart-pounding sound to the fans completing a thrilling race experience.

“Kicker has been a fantastic partner in all aspects of the development for the FC1, and we’re excited to officially welcome them as a Technical Partner of RallyX 2026,” said RallyX founder Andreas Eriksson. “Drivers and fans alike have made clear that sound is a crucial part of rallycross, and Kicker has done their part to ensure that we don’t sacrifice that in our Hypercar class. With their support, the EV Powertrain Sound System will take our cars and events to the next level of excitement.”

“Kicker is thrilled to be part of the inaugural RallyX Americas season delivering the EV Powertrain Sound System,” said Jimmo Ozment, Director of Product Strategy for Kicker“Developing the sound of the FC1 has been an exciting experience, and one that allows us to take our decades of expertise in acoustic design and apply it in a whole new way to the sound of the vehicles themselves. We’re looking forward to showing rallycross fans how powerful the Hypercar class can sound at this year’s events!”

Based in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Kicker has been producing cutting-edge audio experiences for more than 50 years. The brand has regularly been seen on FC1s fielded in competition by Olsbergs MSE, including in RallyX Americas’ inaugural demonstration race at Crandon International Raceway last summer with Kevin Eriksson behind the wheel. The EV Powertrain Sound System delivers upwards of 120 decibels of custom-designed sound from the FC1, giving fans the visceral sensory experience they crave from top-level rallycross competition.

The inaugural RallyX Americas season begins on June 20-21 at Crandon International Raceway in Wisconsin, followed by stops at Eldora Speedway in Ohio on June 27-28 and Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières in Quebec on August 22-23. Additional exhibition events will be held at Crandon on Labor Day weekend, and the inaugural RallyX Global Final will take place at Portugal’s Montalegre Circuit on October 24-25.
