Tanner Foust, former rallycross champion, is making his European comeback after a nine-year hiatus at Portugal's Circuito Internacional de Montalegre for RallyX's Euro League event on March 29-30.

Foust will compete in the Open 4WD class, piloting the combustion-powered FC2 "Star Car" prepared by BAK40 Motorsports. He will also showcase the all-electric FC1-X with demonstration laps.
