British Rallycross R1 - Lydden Hill
 
Last weekend was the first round of the British Rallycross Championship and, as always, it was a cracking day of a racing. :nod:

Despite almost zero visibilty when we got there, the sun had burnt through the fog by half 10 and we had a day of blazing sunshine from then onwards. Racing was good throughout and there were some really close (as in paint swapping close!) battles in the Finals.

Its a damn good sign for the 2012 British Championship, as the first Round of the year tends be slightly less manic as drivers are still adjusting to winter changes: roll on the rest of the season! :doubleup:

As ever my camera was on and here's what I got...

Some Quality photos, I think Tom (My Mate), was suffering a bit from the Sun all day lol.

Good Photo considering the Distance from the other side of the track! I don't even look that burnt!

Yeah, thats Ray. His car rates amongst my faves in the Super Mod class, gotta love the boxy widearch look on a Mk.3 Escort, its a classic rallycross look!

Not such a big BMW fan so I didn't take many shots of him (sorry!). Just had a look though them and a couple came out alright(ish)...

Yes and yes! :) I'm going to be doing both days of the ERC (on the assumption I have some petrol in the car by then...), the entry list is already looking really good so I can't to see some more action on track!

Yeah. I'll be brutally honest and say I wasn't expecting much from Gary Pusey in the ex-Woods Impreza. I'm sure its a competent build and would be a very quick road car, but against the level of machinery in the BRC now, its massively outgunned.

I thought Simon Horton would fair better in the hawk, but he seemed to have disasters in the first and second heats. :(

Need Kevin McCann to finish his GR Impreza...

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...ead.php?t=9273

...and get out on track with it!

Stewby 30-03-2012 06:59 PM

I think he blew a radiator hose on first heat as he launched in the start still sounded good lol, flat four thunder :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8ug782VmXM
