Default 6R4.net Track Day 2017 – Curborough

For the third year in a row I was lucky enough to get an invitation to the annual 6R4.net track day at Curborough Sprint Circuit. It was a bit of a trek, but there were a number of cool cars to see. Here come some pictures…















Although the bulk of cars in attendance were 6R4’s, there were a few non-MG’s to add a bit of variety.





Brian Betteridge turned up with a pair of very shiny Fords…



…I have ogled at a number of RS200’s over the years, but this was unquestionably the cleanest.





After accosting the owner during the lunch break, I managed to get a few laps in the passenger seat of this RS200. I had been out in this car a couple of years ago, but the car was cold and the driver had been unable to thrash it. This time is was warm though and he went for it: damn shame there wasn’t a camera in the car, as I imagine the grin on my face was ridiculous!






The Rothmans livery looks good, but you can’t beat the Computervision colours on a 6R4!







This was the first time I have seen an RS1700T in person. Fantastic to see a bit of rally history so well preserved.



Ditto for this Vauxhall. Like the RS1700T, the Astra 4S is another car I have read about, but never seen in the metal before.



There had been talk of a “special guest” before the event, but it was lunchtime before it was revealed to be current Citroen WRC driver Craig Breen, who dropped into Curborough for his first crack in a Metro 6R4…



…it didn’t take him many laps to start getting sideways!





Curborough isn’t that exciting a track, but once again it was well worth the journey to see so many rally classics in such a relaxed environment.

Yeah, there were a few more non-6R4's there this year, so made the paddock a bit more interesting.
