Hell YES!
Was just about to start a thread for it as I've just done one on Surrey! The August Bank Holiday meet at Lydden is always a good one, but there is going to be a new retro class running this year (so the RS200 will be back on track) and Marcus Gronholm is going to be on circuit as well!

Sorry for the triple attack on this thread, but for anyone who might be interested I'm meeting with a few guys from Surrey Scoobies at 8:00 AM, Clacketts Lane Services (Eastbound), with a view to heading off for Lydden at 8:15.
Let me know if you want to join us and we'll look out for you!

Hope you all had as good a day as I did. One of the single best bits of car control I've ever seen from Gronholm, loads of close racing, lots of big moments (hope the drivers were all OK ) and I managed to be standing in the right places to watch all of it! (for once!).

Well I did, a good day out thats for sure. How Gronholm did not roll is beyond me, all I saw (from where the finish flag used to be) was the side of his car and wheels up in the air going round the hair pin AWESOME.

Took "quite a few" pictures, so maybe a week or so before I have the pictures sorted and posted!

Had a bit of a setting fail, so I've ended up deleting a load of pictures. Got about 200 left to sift through, so I'm hoping to get out of work promptly today and get them sorted!

I really don't know why this spectacular form of motor sport,
Does not get more interest on here? Each to their own, I suppose.

In the diesel, i can do a day in Wales to watch the rallying for half that believe it or not (about 50 quid of fuel, no ticket costs). Yet a lot of people aren't interested in rallying either. Swings and roundabouts. Lydden doesn't have a massive amount of facilities compared to say, Brands - the DTM is there this weekend and I expect tickets for that could be had for about 20 quid too..... both are a days racing, just different types |

Excluding the differences in tracks and the like, I'm surprised rallycross does attract more interest in general on here. I would have thought an assortment of 550 BHP+ 4wd cars would be up everyones street! Off Topic: are you going to the DTM Steve?

Oh yeah, car cleaning, I should probably consider that as well...
...incidentally if any of you are interested there are highlights of this round of the British Rallycross on tomorrow morning at 06:55 AM on Channel 4 - so set your videos!

TBTSTT,
Did you hear how the driver was after he was taken to the medical centre? The crash that happened on the Dover straight just before the elbow.?

The two hatchbacks where one ended up on top of the other? Can't remember the drivers names, but I read the day after that they were both fine. I feared the worst when they had the sheets up but the comment on them said they both just had bumps and bruises.

I always thought exactly the same mate. I cant understand why so many Scooby owners drag race a car that has been built to rally? lol Bit like preparing a 427 Boss Mustang for rallying ?????? Mind you I have several mates that are running in the 9's in Scoobies so they |
