Lydden Test Day - 22 February 2014
Just spotted the 2014 Lydden calendar up on Facebook and I see there is a February test day again. As the first whiff of rallycross in 2014 I thought I'd give it a thread!
Obviously a few weeks off yet, but any of you guys planning to test? |

Well Hawkes fire will be there in strength
I will be testing my SN 206 with the rebuilt engine and new radiator set up in the rear of the car so hopefully it will keep cool so i don't destroy my 4th engine My Daughter will be out for her first test session as i bought her Aiden Hills Suzuki swift junior car so will need to get some time with her in her car so she can learn. And we have another new car with Ash who is running a C2 S1600 if its finished in time can not wait to get back out as the winter has been too long without driving |

Is this a closed test just like the RX closed test last year? Would prefer a winter series at Lydden or a one off winter trophy that way we could see some racing. Expecting any Europeans?

The Swifts will be there, £49 per session as well as half and full day sessions. See their website for details and to book.
Bringing your own car will cost £100 per driver and you can pay on the day. It still irks me that it is per driver, and not per car. But there you go. So I've been informed by the two parties. |

as often as required, as the day went on you could have been going out none stop,numbers on the day will control waiting time but always had chance to do as many laps as required. (sometimes we were the only car on track !) |

Couldn't get there due to the trains kept being cancelled so didn't bother in the end. Will definitely be there as I'm finally getting a car four years after passing my test so if you see someone weaving over the road it's me . Have you got 5 million PLI? Found out last week they changed it so quickly ran round getting it changed. Thing to do if you can is fill out the application and email it over to the media guy, he probably won't reply but that's what I done and my pass is there to collect apparently. Media Enquiries xav@mexavpr.com I would also fill out just in case in hasn't then you can get it sorted on the day. |
