2011 Rallycross Weekend
Croft Circuit - Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th November 2011

Gold Medallist Doran To Contest Croft Rallycross Grand Prix

Momentum is rapidly gathering for the British Rallycross Grand Prix which takes place at Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire on Sunday 6th November.


Entries are pouring in for the prestigious event with most of the country's leading drivers set to take on their foreign counterparts at the two-day meeting which also sees the final round of the Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship.


Amongst the confirmed entries so far are European Championship contender and X-Games gold medallist Liam Doran in his Monster Energy Citroen C4 ERC, newly crowned MSA British Champion Julian Godfrey (Ford Fiesta Mk6 ERC) and the unique Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X of former National Rally Champion Steve Hill.


As well as Leeming ace Kevin Procter's Ford Focus, the local challenge has also been bolstered with the news that Scotch Corner tuning wizard and ex British Champion Tony Bardy will be driving a Ford Puma ERC 4x4 at the event also.


In addition to the action on track, there are a host of other attractions including the Ford RS Owners Club and other car clubs on display, Crow's funfair and Darlington precision driver Paul Swift doing stunt demos during the lunch break on Sunday.


The event has also attracted significant sponsorship from SHC Hire Centre in Northallerton, Silks Nightclub in Leeds, Northallerton-based NYG and specialist motorsport travel agents www.just-ferries.com.


No camping is available at Croft but the promoters have negotiated a rate with Allerton Court Hotel, Darlington Road, Northallerton (approximately 11 miles from Croft Circuit) as follows:


Camping: External WC provided, Tents £5 total for Friday/Saturday night, Caravans/Motorhomes - £10 total for Friday/Saturday night (limited space so book early). The hotel bar and restaurant are open for all camping at the premises. Alternatively, rooms are available at the hotel at a reduced cost of £50 for a double and £40 for a single room which represents substantial savings. Contact the hotel direct on 01609 780525 to book. Procters Coaches will be putting on a return coach for anyone wanting to travel from Croft to the hotel or into Northallerton for bars and restaurants.


Entry forms are available www.rallycrossuk.com/documents/entry/round8 and any prospective competitors wishing to compete at the event should note that there are a number of cars available for hire. Anyone interested should contact Kevin Procter on 01677 425203 for more information.


Further information and details are available at facebook.com/rallycrossgp and twitter.com/rallycrossgp.

Adult ticket prices are £8 on the Saturday and £15 on the Sunday or £18 for a weekend ticket. Advance tickets are available until October 28th and more information can be found at www.croftcircuit.co.uk.

Didn't he use a "spare" C4 at Lydden for the British round in August? I guess he'll use that.

Just what I was thinking, wasn't it hired from Eastern Europe, Baltic country I thought. I assume it will be an ex Hansen car. Haven't they re built the one he smashed up at Lydden back in March yet? If so he could use that.

As BertMk2 says there is a second (rented I assume) Monster liveried C4 which is the car Doran used for the British Rallycross at Lydden in August and I believe has been used on the British Rallycross stand at an event or two.

I'm sure it was stated (somewhere - can't remember where!) that it was a slightly older car and not quite at the same spec as the car being used in the ERC at the moment.

I'm sure the last time that was commented on it was still in a workshop awaiting attention?

Wasn't sure from the pictures, but is his current ERC chariot as smashed up as the car that he bent the start of the year?

While we're on the subject of cars that have disapeared from view in the last couple of years, Don Shannon's S40 springs to mind. I think I heard it said that he was taking time out due to ill health. If correct I hope he has recovered, but what of the car? It was used by somebody else at Nutts Corner but other than that? Also the ex Bellerby Exige's, are they the current Simpson, Cousins or O'Connell cars? There was 2 I think or are they sat in a garage somewhere?

That's right, but then I also seem to re call reading somewhere that he subsequently sold it. Now the mists of time are starting to clear the name John Smith (no honestly) comes to mind as having acquired one, in Wales I think. He possible entered one of the Pembrey rounds.

Right.

Bellerby lotus's - The original Dresser one is now raced by Ian O'Connal, the second S2 version was sold to John Smith and then to his freind Steve Cozens who has been racing it this year. Ash Simpson built his own car from scratch.

Don Shannon is hoping to race his Volvo again, perhaps in the Irish Championship this winter.

Turpin - Nova and VX220 are both hillclimbing and are never likley to be seen in rallycross again according to Mr Bowyer.

Manning - Also in Hillclimb spec, will return to Rallycross but not at least for another year.

Liam C4 'spare' from BRC Lydden - Pat raced in Poland ERC while it was on its way back to its owners. This is now back in Latvia.

Evans Astra - It would be highly unlikley if that car sees a track at any time soon...

That clears all that up then! Shame the Astra sounds like it's out of the game as it was a quick car in Evan's hands.

Any news on any other entries?

I can understand that they want the event to represent the 'cream' of British rallycross but the problem is the cream (BRC regulars) isn't that thick at the moment. The Superprix managed to cater for everyone without diluting quality. Plus the cancellation of Mallory means that BTRDA regulars won't have had any rallycross this autumn. An opportunity missed I think.

Yes I'm sure the grasser challenge will be worth heading to.

I'm just a bit concerned about the decline of clubman rallycross. We seem to be heading back to the situation of the late 90s where domestic meetings and entries were very thin on the ground. Something needs to be done to revitalise stock hatch (or similar budget formulas) and sort out a BTRDA calendar that goes round the country. This year it was basically a Blyton track championship. Fine if you live nearby but not great if you live anywhere else!

The team at Lydden have done a good job with the Lydden ERC round and I'm sure the GP will get be great too. However some work needs to be done getting the grass roots of the sport going as well.

Same old thing really, rallycross as a whole in the UK is strugglign to keep its head above water, so expecting a clubmans series to cope is a little ill conceived really.

Many drivers are looking at cheaper things like autograss, short oval racing. And you cant blame them, its far cheaper to run, maybe not the cars, but no entry fees, makes sense really.
