I'm disappointed to see more rally cars than rallycross cars but still should be a great event anyways

[MESHGA]

Well yes there maybe! But even if 1 driver decides RX is for them thats a good thing surely?

[Kevin McCann]

Am i in a time warp? Did this event happen? Wheres the results/ stories? Would be grateful for any info.

thanks boys and girls.

[Mad Mark Watson]

[QUOTE=Kevin McCann;2560364]Am i in a time warp? Did this event happen? Wheres the results/ stories? Would be grateful for any info.

Yes it happened!!

low entry but the state of Rallycross at the minute with Nutts, Mondello, Mallory and Super prix diluting entries unfortunately

The xsara ran faultlessly FTD A final and Race of fastest so good test for Super Prix.

Nutts are putting a lot of work into place and more tarmac in paddock has been put down showers and toilets sorted.

On track the chicane i came off on has been changed straigthened out the loose has been graded and the bottom sweep widened so you can throw the car in more setting you up for the complex better. I was talking to the owner and there is plans to widen the start/finish straight too.

All in all becoming a nice track. There were lots of rally cars (very nice ones) there setting off like rally sprint with intervals which made for a full program and as always was a realxed friendly meeting i enjoyed it hope so more drivers come across in November.

Big thanks to Kevin Perry sho helped us fix the bus which had a problem - my bad luckk creeps in again!
