If you’ve got time on your hands, adventure in your heart and cash in your pocket, you can go to Hell this weekend.

Hell in Norway, that is. A passport and a pair of tough boots might help, too. It’s a dusty place (part dirt, part tarmac) is Hell on earth. In the days ahead, it will serve as motorsport Mecca for true car fans.

That’s because the Norwegian venue will host the latest round of the World Rallycross Championship, which means it’ll be home to the most entertaining and exciting form of car racing the world has to offer. Honestly.

Formula One is more about tech, tantrums and teams running cars we can’t relate to, than it is about (eye-wateringly expensive) drivers, now pricing themselves out of jobs – thus the imminent arrival of autonomous F1 machines. Formula E struggles as the cars can’t go fast or far enough, plus they sound just plain wrong. Sadly, the World Rally Championship has lost its true stars, identity and mass appeal, and British and World Touring Car races fail to excite, whether I’m watching them in the metal or in front of a TV screen being bored to sleep.
