Pickup Truck Racing at Lydden 13th -14th July 2013

[Stephen H]

Good to see in the programme for Brands Hatch at the weekend, that the Pickup Trucks have a fixture at Lydden. I assume its at the Mini Festival?

But does anybody know if they are racing one day or both days?

At Brands they only tend to race on the Sunday?

But with more track time on a Saturday will this be the case at Lydden?

Just this event clashes with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, so would like to spend one day at each event, but would like to see the Pickups race.

I suspect these are likely to be at the Truck Festival weekend as they were last year (although there were only four of them).

That takes place on the weekend of 15th and 16th June.

Sorry only just seen your reply. Forgot there were two pickup formula, the rolling thunder show oval (arena essex) sierras, that race on the 600m Lydden oval at the truck festival.

Then there are the Sonny Howard long circuit space frame pickups that used to be part of the Eurocar package, that haven't been to Lydden for a decade.

They are listed to be on at the Mini Festival? Looking at info on lasts years event there was no racing just public track sessions.

Does anybody know if the is any racing other than the pickups ? And if the pickups are racing both days?

Not sure as to the timetable, but I believe that the only racing will be from the Pick Ups.
