Hong Kong was selected to host the final two rounds of the 2023 season in World RX in March 2023.[4] For the first time in the series' history, a 1.225 km (0.761 mi)-long street circuit was designed on the Central Harbourfront, using parts of public roads used by the Formula E circuit. Gravel sections of the rallycross circuit were laid on the Central Harbourfront Event Space.[5] Last-minute track alterations were made one day prior to the race weekend. The circuit was shortened to 0.802 km (0.498 mi) by dropping the two longest asphalt straights from the layout.[6]
Hong Kong did not return to the 2024 calendar of World RX.
