Whilst that is annoying I think it's fair to say that the rallycross fans will find a way of watching anyway (catch a repeat, recod it or whatever). To some extent though I'd have thought that rallycross fans aren't the real target of this piece though, raising awareness of the sport to those that don't know anything about it is the desired outcome - and those people won't be on their way home from Lydden.

I thought Xsara looked good and was good coverage on terrestial Tv.

Pity Tiff didnt beat bike but to be fair he didnt have much time for practice as they needed us off track for dog racing!!!

I thought that the best thing about it was that it was the third vehicle to attempt to beat the bike - ie save the best til last. He really highlighted it was a powerful car, 'if this cannot beat it, nothing will' - good bit of advertising. Just a shame they couldnt do this last Monday and then say, oh and if you want to see this car and 15 more like it, head to Lydden

Reckon you would have beaten it Mark; as you say, he didnt have much time to prepare and clearly you know the car!

Anyway, was a shame not to see you at Lydden.
