Default 6R4.net Track Day – Curborough

I know there are a few rally fans on the forum, so I thought I’d post these up.

Thanks to Dave P, I managed to get an invite to the 6R4.net track day at Curborough Sprint Circuit last week. I was allowed to wander trackside with my camera, here are a few shots…









Other than a number of 6R4’s, the event organisers had also extended invitations to a handful of RS200 owners.











The 6R4 has appeared in a lot of different liveries over the years, but I don’t think any beat the Computervision colours.





A trailer arrived in the paddock just after lunch and opened up to reveal the RS200 of Nigel Mummery. Thanks to Dave, I managed to jump in the passenger seat for his first few laps…



…some of you may know that I have quite a car crush on the RS200. Just a few minutes in the car was enough to utterly cement my love for the 200: I want one even more now!











Have to admit that the 80’s interior made me chuckle!







Special mention to the owner of this 6R4: he drove the car to Curborough, tracked it all day, then drove it home again afterwards!







Absolutely incredible day, was surreal to see Group B cars in such a relaxed environment.

I was trying not to show too much excitement about the RS200 in front of the 6R4 owners: I don't think I did a very good job of hiding it though!

I was amazed how different the experience was in the 6R4 versus the RS200. God knows how crews did a whole event in the 6R4, it was ridiculously hot and I couldn't hear a thing!

Yes I do! I can't 100% commit until a bit nearer the time though. All being well I'll also do the Tempest again this year.

Keep your luxury supercars. My lottery garage would consist of group b rally cars. 6r4, T16, rs200, and of course some later rally cars too. Proper automotive porn. Thanks for the pics.

Some rally cars just "do it"

Although for me it would be a quattro sport or lancia integrale and Stratos

Fully agree!

I wouldn't say no to any of the Group B cars (except the godawful Citroen), but the RS200 just tops the list for me. Would have to own a quattro though, just for the noise!

If you're ever passing through Hawkhurst just off the A21 there's a car dealer called Mark Lilley Diesels and in their showroom, although not for sale, is a low mileage Testarossa and a mint RS200, owner has both as investments but apparently neither of them have moved in years. What a waste.

A few laps weren't enough: I'd have been happy sitting there for the rest of the afternoon!

What a waste. Not saying it has to be rallied or anything, but it should at least be driven!

Nice pics Steve.

There was a 6R4 at Wings and Wheels yesterday, which the Stiglet took a shine to. Obviously that's because there was no T16 there, but it showed promise nonetheless!

It's interesting that with the Group B cars most people seem to love them all, but have different orders of preference. If be happy to have pretty much any of those era cars. I can't think of another Motorsport era/discipline where that's true.

For me the T16 and Quattro top the bill.

The Testarossa doesn't do anything for me: I'd go straight for the RS200!

Yeah, pretty much every petrolhead seems to love the "big 5" from the Group B era! For me personally Group B is all about the cars; there were certainly some great drivers and events in that era, but the competition has been much closer at other points in the history of the WRC.
