Flag, no there was an issue with safety, there was a drivers meeting at one of the rounds and the reps said if nothing was done about it they would not come back, and funnily enouh Cadwell didnt have many more rounds of the BRC afterwards!
I actuall love he track, was very challenging and very similar to the Scandinavian tracks which are so cool to watch at! But there were safety concerns with the lack of run off from my memory. Same as Lydden really, problem there too is speed! Can anyone remember Rob Gibsons launch of the end of Chessons!! |

Back to the topic:
Favourites Knockhill - Fast and flowing, beautiful (but long) drive to the circuit (once you're past Blackpool) Lydden - The right hander onto the rough after coming down hairy hill is one of my favourite corners, the spectators, and the reasonably short drive. Mondello and Croft - Mondello - for the welcome, and the technicality of the track and the fact that I haven't learnt to go quick there yet, so its a challenge. Croft - Good for spectators, plenty of grip on the tarmac. |

I've only been to four different rallycross circuits, so my faves are obviously coming from those. Thats coming from a 'live' perspective anyway. I just don't thnk you can beat the whole buzz of Lydden. It's by far my fave track for spectating. Couldn't point out one thing in particular that stands out. It's just Lydden and it's great!!
Loved the Rallycross GP at Croft so thats (Croft) second. Fast tracks definately make the blood rush!! It was awsome watching the power slides on the tarmac section before the chicane onto the loose at the GP. Third would be Brands, but thats only cos Blyton wasn't great. Sooo dusty when I was there. The new brands circuit isn't great. I think Hoppy would have something to say about it if he were here still!! I'm interested to see how the new Wildtracks set-up goes. I'm tempted to go later in the year. Meanwhile, I'll just keep my dream alive that ALL of the current Supercars make the trip to Lydden in August. Come on guys, lets not have any allegance to RSS or MSA events, lets all make it a spectacle at every event!! PS. It's good to be back 'on-line' again. |

Lets hope that they can all get to Lydden and make it a spectacle that RALLYCROSS can be proud of. It is the spiritual home of rallycross so if they can't do it there........... We can but hope As you can guess Lydden is my favorite circuit |
