Winter Rallycross Masters - Lydden Hill, Feb 12th

[tbtstt]

Right, this is event is looking tentative at the moment, but I thought I'd stick a post up here just so people are aware of it.

Saturday 12th February is the Winter Rallycross Masters at Lydden. If you are a unsure exactly whereabouts Lydden is (its near Dover) then have a quick click here:

Winter Rallycross events tend to be used as a testing session for a lot of the drivers, so entry lists are annouced quite late and there isn't normally as many cars present as the bigger British and European Championship events. There should still be some close racing though, so it should be worth a drive if you're around!

probably a bit too far to drive for me (just over 90 miles each way!) considering the entries issues and the risk of dodgy weather!

There should be an entry list nearer the time and, to be honest, if the list is poor I expect they will scrap the event.

Hopefully they will get enough cars to run it though as it would be a good warm up before the rallycross season kicks off in March!

More details starting to come in on this now:

Gate opening times: 9am - 4:30pm
Admission prices: £12, under 12's go free

Entries are being taken this week and there should be an entry list issued towards the tail end of this week. Its obviously entry depenant, but they are hoping to run all the 2011 BRX classes:

Supercars
Supermodfied
Suzuki Swifts
Junior Swifts
BMW Minis
RX150
Stockhatch
Senior Minis
Junior Minis

I've just noticed that the South Downs Stages (Goodwood) are on the same day as well. Bloody typical!

Think I'll be sticking with Lydden - assuming there is a decent entry list that is.

Oh bluddy hell, didn't realised that.

Been to the South Downs Stages before (as i mentioned yesterday i think) - its very similar in terms of organisation to the Brands rally - but just with less speccies.

Now i'm not sure what to go to. Wyedean is better for sure, but Goodwood is only 45 mins from here....

Looks like this has now been cancelled. It will instead be a rallycross testing day for the drivers, spectators can get in for free should you want to watch the rallycross cars being set up.

Have to wait until later in the year for the first proper rallycross fix though!
