Are results available for all categories? What happened to the European drivers?

cht · 15 Oct 2007, 09:07 (Ref:2040526)

Irish rules are 8 fastest cars from all finals, british rules are fastest 10 cars from A finals, seems a rule discrepancy nobody was aware of!!!

All makes for good fun when running a joint British/Irish round.....

Must say, it was the best SuperFinal I've seen in a LONG time, I just wish I had my camera handy for the flag. It was pretty much a 3-way dash for the line.

p14geu · 15 Oct 2007, 09:52 (Ref:2040556)

I have to agree Magnet, it was a superb race, as was most of the races throughout the day, Super Mods had some brilliant races, as did the Supercars, Jordan v O'Donovan, what a match up that was....As per usual as well, some cracking action with the stock hatches as well, how most of them 205s managed to stay on the track i will never know, especially the man in the red one who we all thought was going to hit something after RX1 in the Stock final, fish tailed for a while but managed to hang on, fair play to that man.

But as it was such a brilliant day out, i want to say thanks to all the drivers on here as it was all down to them and I for one hope for more days like that as it can only bring good publicity for the sport!!

Well done lads.

irxcrossi · 15 Oct 2007, 10:19 (Ref:2040574)

has anyone got any pics up yet, con connolly perhaps!!!!!

***MagnetON*** · 15 Oct 2007, 10:30 (Ref:2040580)

I put some pics up from the practise and first heats yesterday morning

p14geu · 15 Oct 2007, 10:38 (Ref:2040585)

I have a good few pics, but cant guarantee to get them on the net that soon as having problems with my internet connection at the moment, but will try to get them up ASAP...I also have some super vids of yesterday, some brilliant action footage.

irxcrossi · 15 Oct 2007, 11:28 (Ref:2040615)

oh right thanks, didnt see those pics, i'll have a look now, also i was wondering that now the 07/08 championship has kicked off when will the remainding dates be set for rounds 4-7/8

Matti Alamaki · 15 Oct 2007, 11:59 (Ref:2040639)

I agree, there was some seriously good racing in all classes yesterday, full credit to everyone who made the effort to get down and race. The brits had a good day winning Supecars, Supermods and Juniors but stock hatch again going Irelands way. But, how close was the racing!

On the other hand, far too much tarmac, more gravel is badly needed.

It looks like it's going to be a GB (Jordan) v Ireland (Ollie) shootout for the Bristish title. Can't wait to see what happens in Croft...

Congrats to drivers, marshalls and organisers. What a spectacle

Would love to see some more pic's of yesterday. Are there any available anywhere or does anyone know what photographers were there yesterday?

EvilPumpkin · 15 Oct 2007, 14:15 (Ref:2040755)

folks, I've given the Andrew Jordan issue its own thread here

It was an excellent day's racing and I'd hate to see the rest of it overshadowed by one incident - let's have some positive discussion on the rest of the day here and anyone that wants to get into the Jordan issue can do it in the other thread.

I have to say I thought all the finals were absolute belters! The juniors are really coming along - some really close racing!

pgrogan · 15 Oct 2007, 14:16 (Ref:2040757)

couldnt agree with that statement more

Jennifer_ni · 15 Oct 2007, 14:34 (Ref:2040775)

Found some photos here.. http://whatsnew.d4d.fotki.com

need to sort the front of the car out! bit high i think

p14geu · 15 Oct 2007, 15:01 (Ref:2040800)

some cracking photos on there i have to say, who is responsible for those pics? I hope to get mine up ASAP, as long as I can get my PC sorted out.

Will we see Olivier Anne, Nesbitt & Eklund in Mondello again do you reckon? I was well impressed, lovely cars and brilliant driving....Also, wanted to mention how clean and sweet as a nut that Setanta Sports Escort was in the Rally cars, lovely car!!

Cryos · 15 Oct 2007, 15:42 (Ref:2040832)

I would have to agree peter, that Escort was really nicely prepaired.

Ive never heard of d4d myself but im making sure to put up a note on rallycross.ie;

Brilliant day start to finish, thanks to the officials and Marshals involved the work/time and effort is much appriciated

p14geu · 15 Oct 2007, 17:02 (Ref:2040892)

Yeah definitely was a cracking day, didnt realise that was yourself in the White with blue trim Nova, you had a pretty good day out if i remember rightly??!!
Will try to find some pics and video footage of you

Cryos · 15 Oct 2007, 17:19 (Ref:2040913)

Yeh that was myself, have a 3.8 Final drive box in that at the moment (which is why it seems to struggle sometimes, seemed fine however for the lead upto dunlop. 4.8 5speed dogbox going into it now

I enjoyed myself the car was alot quicker than last day which i was thrilled about, few niggly misfires and chokes on it but nothing a laptop couldnt sort out

Graz · 15 Oct 2007, 19:08 (Ref:2041009)

It was a cracking day, great racing. The quality of the supercar entry meant the best Supercar A & Super Finals I've seen in years. There must have been three or four dramatic twists in both races. I was drooling over Olivier Anne's C4 - G Treacy has got himself a craker there for next year. Fair play to Steve Hill, delighted to see him win.

dp35 · 15 Oct 2007, 19:19 (Ref:2041014)

has anyone checked out the d4d photo link above page 10 and picture 348!!! all four wheels off again, just like lydden!!

The Fiddler · 15 Oct 2007, 19:44 (Ref:2041033)

seems to get away with it alot. so if a competitor complained about this yesterday would he have been excluded. if so would another topic be getting so hotly debated. time he was let know supposed to keep wheels on the track after all its rallycross not grass track.

Maybe Andrew wasn't told there was only 2 sections of loose and he thought that was rallycross 3

p14geu · 16 Oct 2007, 09:45 (Ref:2041474)

Come on, enough of the b**ching about the poor lad, I thought we changed this to another thread to stop it all......Good pics on that site I have to say!!

I had a look at my vid footage last night and there were a lot of 4 wheels off the track during the day

EvilPumpkin · 16 Oct 2007, 10:04 (Ref:2041506)

Con's pics are up - he's got some belters!
