I am really sorry but it is true i have withdrawn from event, yes the car is faster than ever apart from intercooler niggles going better and better. But we are entered for Blyton ROC as a featured driver and lydden week after. Its just too much with running a hotel. Thanks for vote of confidence we would have been well received running in the Xsara. But must remember we lead BRC now so must keep plugging away!!!!.

Next year though plans in pipeline for full ERC!!

Hope you we will see you all at Blyton

[bigted]

Tug of war, i think it should me, bob gooding, mad mark and caravanman

Also, sorry to hear you're not going to France Mark, but good luck to all the British and Irish lads there!

It is a great circuit. We were there back in 95 for the Internations Cup. One of the funniest things I remember, was an unofficial go-kart tournament we had, with a group of Swedish Guys

Got home from the Circuit Last night at 10.30pm! fantastic weekend best racing I have seen in the Euro for a number of years.Hunsbedt is back better than ever? dont know how he got in front of the pack in the C final but he was spectacular all weekend the Volvo is stunning.No more Hansen running away with it, its any ones Championship this year the cars all seem so competitive,popping and banging and so fast.The Circiut is brilliant for viewing and all the ups and downs add to the racing Oliver Anne and Hunsbedt coming down through the drop what ever its called is worth the trip alone,will make great TV.
George Tracey was Brilliant all weekend although off the Pace but his heats provided some of the best racing the French certainly loved his style always well cheered,even when attempting wheelies on his bike Haha!. First European event for him faired pretty good!needs to be more aggressive and take what ever gaps appear but that will come in time.Mind you he had the Largest truck and motorhome in the paddock bet some of the regulars where jealous.Just wish i had a better camera not the easiest of tracks for taking pictures mine are all crap but no doubt the experts will be posting theres,need to save for a better camera
No Cake there Tom Geenan was driving instead dont know why, but had good races with George although he slowed george a bit but great for watching!

ERC24: Live! section. Times: Choose France, click on Division 1, click on Qualification, mark all 3 heats and order your printer to print marked section. It works with me… Results: ditto.
