Anyone fancy coming along?

For those that don't know....

Rallycross consists of short sprint races, about 4 laps, on a course made up of both tarmac and loose. Racing is extremely close and accidents do happen.:D

The "Supercar" class used to be home to outlawed group B rally cars (I believe a Metro 6R4 is still being raced) but nowadays you get to see incredible one off machines, Astra & Fiesta 4wd turbos for instance, where the norm is 600bhp and 0-60 times of under 3 seconds.:eek:

There is at least one Classic Scooby WRC running in the championship this year would be great to show some scooby support. :luxhello:

Lydden Hill circuit is about 10 miles from Dover, on the A2. (About 45mins from Thurrock). Every part of the racetrack can be seen from virtually anywhere and all parking is within, overlooking the track.
Entry £12 adults, Kids go free.:cool:

I know it's a busy time for most but if you're at a loose end on this day why not come along.

We love it down @ Lydden :luxhello:

Shame dates clashes with our family holiday :(

I love it too, been going since I was a nipper.

Shame about the hols being the same date But there's always next time.:norty:

When ?

Will pencil it in now :D

No other dates on the websites yet. But when I know, you'll know.:thumb:

:thumb:

Last time we went it was cancelled on the day of the meet :(

Ice cream & Burger vans were turning up & All sorts , Was a long time ago now , When i was a wee lad ;) ( Yes i was once :D )

The day was not wasted as we visited Leeds castle on the way home

Do they still have a Rallycross event at Brands, used to be December time?

Haven't seen this for years either, used to be really good, 6R4's and RS200's :thumb:

Went to meeting at Brands last year but I think it went to Croft this year.

Made it to every Rallycross GP held at Brands, was great back in the 80's only about 1,000 people watching used to spend all my time in the pit garages. Then it got popular, 20,000+ people, and they restricted all access.

Those were the days <<< in my best OAP voice.:lol1:

Just checked the Brands website, there was an event at the end of October planned, but this has been cancelled :(

Also checked the BRDA site, after Lydden the only remaining rounds are at Mondello park - Ireland and Croft - Darlington, Next Year ? :thumb:

Those WERE the days, Will Gollop, Martin Schanker (spelling?), Pat Doran, :thumb: Need I say more, guess that means i'm an OAP to!

someone will mention gartrac escorts in a minute!!!.... ;)

who fancies a blast in this puppy???

Bri4n,

must have still been thinking about this thread, as whilst working away, suddenly remembered the other big name - John Welch and his Xtrac Astra, real quick but unreliable.
