Never heard of it, how long's it been going, I've only lived in Dorset for 34 years!!

Road Race? Meaning a real road.. one that is travelled by every road user? One that you are willing to place in the hands of death?

Check out some of the motors?

Nova, Volvo, Sun-****ing-beam and rover? is this a **** taking thread?

Scooby Roo

No can't be a joke theres a Citeron ZX going, not to mention the Ford Sierra.

Just imagine the kudos following that line up

Dave uk blue mica

its not a road race but a road rally, these are run mostly every weekend at some part of the country and has been for about the last 40 years

Soulgirl

silly ****

I don't know how long it's been going on, a few of us are going to go over there and see if we can enter the race, sorry road rally, what's in a name?

Some of those cars will look mint as rally cars, a Talbot Sunbeam won the world championship in the past, know it all.

Soulgirl

LOL ... I look forward to the photos and results later in the year then I have nothing personally against sunbeams... they were lovely cars (back then)

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much scoobymental.
Apart from the fact this event is full + reserves, it is a proper MSA approved event. Firstly does your car have a roll cage? and other safety devices which are required to run? Do you have competition insurance? Do you have an MSA race license? Are you a member of a motorclub? The list goes on and on.
That's not to say if you join a motorclub and find out what goes on you could do an event after the car has been modified etc, they are always looking for new blood.

Don't be fooled by the cars you see on the list. Have you tried AVERAGING 60MPH down a back lane at 3AM with muddy lanes for grip?
A large proportion of this type of event is on Navigational skills of the Co-driver.
The competitors don't know the route until the last minute and have to navigate from point point.
