the above, very interesting idea, fords got a academy up and running up in wales, looks asthough ford's trying to breed more rally legends closer to home. hopefully should end up as a big success with young enthusiasts.

It's run by Drive and Survive in Enstone, Oxfordshire not Wales and if anyone fancies marshaling at their next event please contact me by emailing me at proco2020@aol.com.
The event will be run in the Midlands not Enstone.
On the subject I think it's a great way of getting youngsters into rallying rather than racing but needs to reach a wider audience and the cost needs to be looked.
The vehicles used are LHD space framed RWD with Ka running gear.

Proco thingy whatsit. Cheltenham MC will be running the finish on Sunday, see you there! Hope you've fixed the same weather as you did for the Tempest. Any paintballers this time?

That's really good to hear. I'll see what I can do about the weather.
I'll have to do the finish myself on Saturday then! Any clues what your supposed to do, I normally have people to do that sort of thing for me ;)
I'll find out about Paintballers as they certainly get an event talked about.
Don't suppose you fancy coming a bit further north the following weekend?

By your self! Well you stand on the FF line and stop the clock as the car passes. Then you run 400m to the stop line (careful as you overtake the slowing car, they can be a bit unstable under braking). Then stand on the stop line and wait for the car to stop and fill in the time card. Oh and the leg it back to the FF line....
Two cars together could be tricky.
