Lydden Legend Festival 2024
Just seen this pop up on Facebook this morning...
...just read the blurb and it seems that the same team behind the Loheac Legend event this year (which looked great but was rather lacking in coverage) are bringing the same show to Lydden for 2024. Could be a good weekend if they get a similar number/quality of entry as Loheac. The date is notable though: that is the same weekend that World RX was this year? |

Interesting - hopefully a good event. Any details anywhere other than Facebook? I guess at this stage details are few and far between.
Not sure if the date is significant - has any news about a WRX calendar for next year been announced yet? Maybe that's waiting on the outcome of the investigation into the Lydden fire? |

Lydden Legend Summer Event Confirms that there is at least some association with the Loheac event. Looks like the Friday is a welcome gala, then two days of track action? Quote:
In my (utterly inexpert) opinion I still think the investigation could take many, many, months. Although they have a solution to finish this years season, I don't think that could/would work for a full season. Is the best option to postpone next year and look to 2025?... that's probably a chat for the World RX thread! |

Officially confirmed so far...
Alpine A310 Politecnic - Gustave Terriere BMW E30 M3 - Patrick Briffaud Ford RS200 - Mark Rennison Lancia 037 - Dave Kedward Renault Clio V6 - Ovenden Motorsport ...hopefully the retro European contingent who were present for the World round last year will all make the trip over again. I don't know how feasible it is, but I'd love to see the Schanche RS2000 Escort make the trip over. |

There must be an awful lot of cars in garages which would be suitable
Knowing Pat im sure he is working very hard behind the scenes and Im sure a few of the old school have been invited Id like to bet there will be a few surprises over the coming months Looking forward to the event |

they got a lot of stuff over last year, but a lot of it was driven fairly poorly, Pat has I dont think run the Escort since then. It is often the case with events like this, you long to see the cars but often they are driven by rich guys with very little talent, still great to see the cars but you remember them in their heyday, not now sadly

I do not know how far some of you go back, but that is not the first time Delecour has driven an RS200 in rallycross

Shame that Liam isn't out in Rosie as he is always spectacular in it, but Delecour is generally pretty committed in everything he drives, so hopefully he'll put a good show on. |

Delecour is still quick
I’ve seen him at rally legend and he was still fast |

That's quite an impressive list
Do you know which of these are rally cars as opposed to rallycross cars? I assume that some of these will be driven in a "spirited" manner (race?) and others will purely circulate the track or be static in the paddock? |

I was going to (on a rainy day) go through and add the classes from the various Lydden Legend posts. I do wonder how enthusiastically some of the cars will be driven.

This is looking like a mega weekend, can't wait.
Looks like we might be seeing more of Liam Doran if his new video on his YouTube channel is anything to go by https://youtu.be/4gIi0oLH3_A?si=rnkxQMGlVPQ7F-v9 |

Nothing more said about it (that I have seen).

I see he raced in autograss at the weekend.

That 306 is one of my favourite rallycross cars I didn't ever see Will Gollop driving it though, it was with Helmut Holfeld when I started watching rallycross, it's had a few owners since then!

I saw the 309 and that car, never really went as well as Will wanted I felt, but by then his budget was feeble compared to those of Martin and the Citroens, he did get some great results though but sadly never won another round.
The 306 is a bit of a Triggers broom and sadly I would prefer to see that old Hansen ZX in his shop come out than a car I have seen countless times, but would be great to see Kenny the true Mr Rallycross for me back out. |
