The Ford Fiesta in Supernational is that Turkisch silhouette car?

No that's Silver Bullets Mk3 (Star of Top Gear ) - the Turkish one is a Mk7

[FIRE]

Of course. Should think before typing.

You're only partly right there Bert, the old white one has finally been retired. I'll be in a different mkIII this time, probably the most unique (and most pre-owned) mkIII Fiesta in rallycross.

How many classes!

Jesus this looks odd

Crazy isnt it. It could be signigicantly improved by bunging the hot hatch, super 1600 and Minis together, giving you a field of 17 and an A and B final. And I bet that there'd be good racing despite the mixture of cars.

The rest of the categories, i.e. supercar, supernational, Swifts, buggies, juniors, actually make sense.

Ooh - get you and your fancy upgrades Which one is it then? The Mitsubishi powered one? That's been around a bit. Actually is that a Mk3? Not sure. Your bonnet should stay shut this time as I won't be there to jinx it

[chunder]

Just sad that that many cars 56 would probably be Formula C and D in the good old days! I remember C finals in Formula B and C and then a B Final in A and Minis/Novas.

Is that the RWD drive one? The name Richard Moore springs to mind as having been the last owner of the car I'm thinking of. Did he get it from Jamie Lea?

[rallyloverke]

The week after Lydden, Adny Scott will race in France i thought. Would be great if he added Lydden

That was the one I was thinking of too:

[Spectator]

You might not be there Bert But I will so Silver Bullet had better super glue that bonnet down.
I'll bring the choccie biscuits!!!!!!
Bert are you at Brands for the rally? If so good luck to you and Martin
Has anyone heard about Mad Mark?
I saw him at Jersy Farm in June just after he had a monster shunt in the Citroen at a demonstration event, but said he wanted to make Lydden.

Yep, the gearbox is fixed so we're back for another go Gutted to be missing the rallycross but the choice was watch at Lydden or compete at Brands and there was only going to be one winner there!

I hope Mark does make it to Lydden, he seems to have been having more than his share of the bad luck recently. The supercar entry is looking good isn't it? There are some very quick cars in that list and they're mostly pretty new bits of kit.

Plus Binks will be there, as will Priddy and Knowles in Super 1600.

Practice starts from 12.30 Sunday followed by 1st Heats.

A new jump has been built in top section of paddock for the FMX.

2nd Heats are from 9am Monday, followed by 3rd Heats and Finals.

[rallyloverke]

I also think Kevin Hansen will be there in the Junior Swift-class? At least he noted that on facebook a couple of days ago. Any idea when the finals will be run? Local time 16h00 ? or a little earlier? (for the ferry booking :-) )

[Hickey]

Nick Priddy is already down in the Swifts. Are you saying that actually his is of a higher spec than the standard Swifts?

Shame there's no Procter and Scott. Also, will Binks be in his Fiesta MK7?

Will be interesting to see Steve Hill in the RX150s

Binks will be in a Swift according to Facebook. Agreed with regards to Procter and Scott (don't know what state Procter and his car are in after the barrel roll in Holland though?).

Good to see Steve Hill will be on track, even if its not in his Evo.

Broken collar bone apparantly, although the car is said to be not to bad and easily repairable.

Not too bad then - for car or driver - given the incident itself. I had to replay the clips a couple of times as I couldn't believe a relatively mild tap caused the car to go over the way it did.

Probabaly of limited interest to everyone in this forum, but a pretty good line up of drivers for the drifting as well.

Priddy is in the wrong class in the Swift. He now has an ex works Super 1600 Suzuki Swift, which has been a rally car before. Check out Nick Priddy's facebook page for pictures and also a video of the recent shake down at the rally day as Castle Combe. He will do all remaining BRC events in Super 1600 plus some events in ERC this year and next. Should give Andy Knowles a good run for his money, full works car.

Binks will be in one of the Hire Swifts.

Yes Hill is in the RX150 class, be good to see how he gets on with rwd.

Proctor broken collar bone from Holland looking at 6-8 weeks of no arm movement and then around 4/6 months with a plate in the collar bone whilst it heals. Wont be seen in action for a while.

Scott is concentrating on remaining ERC, GRC and Loheac FRC events so no British, although will do the GP.

Damn, thats a shame for Procter as it rules out any more racing for him this year, doesn't it? Was hoping he'd be another contender at the GP.

In other news spectators shouldn't have any trouble spotting Doran Snr out on track this weekend...



...my eyes!

[Hickey]

That's a real shame about Procter. After some great performances this year and such a likeable guy. Hope he heals well.

Looking forward to this weekend, despite former Boyzone singer, Shane Lynch, doing drifting... Oh dear.

Credit where its due, he's actually pretty handy in a drift car. Was hoping Dan Chapman would be there as his latest drift weapon is one of the best sounding cars I've heard in ages.

I see Steve Biagioni and Walton Smith are both going to be there, so I assume that means that Japspeed and Jap Performance Parts will be providing their cars. Even if you aren't a drifting fan the Japspeed and JPP cars are fantastic bits of engineering and well worth a look.
