Norwegian Ludvig Hunsbedt wil come to the first BRC round on Easter Monday (April 9) at Lydden Hill to test his new car before the start of the European Rallycross championship 2007.

It's not a rumor ... I'am really sure about that ...

I distinctly remember seeing a similar story on here last year about some Euro entries for the Lydden BRC kick-off. They never materialised.

talking of testing, i hope all you guys out there realise that there is a trackday on the friday 6th at lydden ,in the past many of you have entered whos entering?

GreenSaxo · 28 Feb 2007, 21:49 (Ref:1854110)

6th of april???

Spectator · 28 Feb 2007, 22:31 (Ref:1854133)

Having checked the Lydden web site, yes there is a car track day scheduled for Good Friday 6th April.
Also noticed that the Rallycross Open Series date is for Sunday 23rd September.
If they get a full entry they could be pushing it to get everything completed due to the 12 noon Sunday start time and the 18.00 cut off curfue.
Does anyone know if the curfue times have been changed?

As you will see I've trimmed your press release. However the original text has been sent on your behalf to our dedicated press release site.

This looks like a fantastic offer and I hope some of our members will join in. Good luck.

So come on then fans and drivers, any one have any news on Lydden?

There are various rumours going around about ERC European drivers coming to the event, anyone know any more or just rumours??

On here its say's about Ludvig Hunsbedt in his new Volvo

On the ERC 24 website it mentions 2/3 drivers definately coming?

Does anyone have any news on this, or is it all rumours again and no one will turn up.

Would be awesome to get these cars to the events ofr the 40th Annivarary of rallycross. I reckon there will be 20 UK supercars there so we could get the highest number seen in the Uk for years:

I reckon there will be:
Doran, McCann, Evans, O'Donovan, McCluskey, Carnegie, Jordan, Mundy, Grant, Proctor, Briggs, Gooding, Langley, Williams, L.Gibson, Tracey, Jobb, Watson, and Hill (19) all definately there............any more??

(Maybe:Manning, R.Gibson, Graham, Anson)

Any thoughts..............?

mivec · 4 Mar 2007, 08:06 (Ref:1857728)

I will be there to watch the racing.

Is this great news or not?

(Euh... don't answer please

)

RampItUp · 4 Mar 2007, 10:18 (Ref:1857802)

It is more likely that drivers will race in Eurocircuit Holland to test the six days after Lydden Hill. The likes of Lindefjell did couple of years ago.

This appeals more to Euro drivers as the circuit is in the ERC calendar. Cant see euro drivers being hapopy about only getting three laps practice and waiting all day why BTRDA champs goes on as well. Lack of running.

Also rage buggies are apperently going to take part alongside GB RX Champs.

What does you think of this?????? Degrading of GB RX????

schanche · 4 Mar 2007, 10:33 (Ref:1857815)

Oh Just Great seen em before in the BRC Bit off luck there be out during dinner break (Rubbish) next thing it will be them damm bikes again nothing like ruining a good day out!

What is your problem? All you on on here is try and degrade the BRXC and cause the which series is better row to start again.

Yes the BRXC might not be for everyone but thats not to say the ROS is without fault either!

What I think is its a shame there are still a few determined to put down the BRC and can not except the fact that during the last 3 years it has gone from strength to strength. If they are racing and I have seen nothing else to suggest they are it would only be during the breaks because there would be little time otherwise, so whats the harm?

RampItUp · 4 Mar 2007, 16:15 (Ref:1858007)

This is not an attempt to undermine any Championship but I am not sure how you can say hte sport gone from strength to strength. Three years ago the BTRDA and BRDA were seperate Championships. Now they run at the same events. Doesnt this still highlight a problem for the sport and tie in with the other thread of European regs?

In my opinion it looks like another way to help fund events. Now the British Championship will probably consist of BRDA, BTRDA and Rage buggie championships. While this helps funding it doesnt do many favours for anyone else especially spectators and drivers in Super Car and Mods.

If you take away Stock Hatch then you would be left with approx 30 cars at each event.

But we are not taking away the Stock Hatches are we?
I get your point as far as modifieds are concerned, they have been abit thin on the ground recently but hopefully Lydden on Easter Monday will see an improvement, super cars could see the highest entry for many a year with or without any guys coming over from mainland Europe. Be there to see it RampItUp you may even find you enjoy it

They also running Buggies during the break of the ERC at Eurocircuit - Holland. No harm done, keeps the crowd entertained, which is very important!

Spectator · 5 Mar 2007, 09:57 (Ref:1858766)

IF they do run buggies during the break when are our hard working marshalls going to get their break?
Just a thought.
Have seen buggies from Lydden on Sky, think they ran them on the super moto course. Not my cup of tea but looked quite quick.

WHAT!?!?

At Lydden last year the supercar entry was the biggest for the last decade, and this year is set to be even better. Can you rememeber a BRC event in the late ninteys with 20 supercars??

If you look at the supercar grid of three years ago your looking at grids of 3 or 4 at some events. You can't say things havnt improved.

leonidas · 5 Mar 2007, 10:57 (Ref:1858801)

Yes, I would've said supercars are healthier than for many years. However I think this is partly because of the slow death of supermods. The class is looking increasingly like a dinosaur, most of the cars have been around for years and its got very expensive to compete with cars like a certain yellow lotus... So you might as well scrimp and save and do supercars...

StockHatch782 · 5 Mar 2007, 19:41 (Ref:1859128)

I'm not sure you've done all the maths on this one...it's not quite as easy as "scrimping and saving" to run a supercar! You can either afford it or you can't, it's not a simple step up from the Supermods.

Supermodifieds are not exactly all old cars, either; the Renaults, Lotus (soon to be plural), Audi etc. are relatively modern, and any new cars - such as the ones being built in time for the first round - are a testament to the attraction of the BRXC as it currently runs.

Spectators still have a great day out, drivers still enjoy the racing and sponsors are still on the increase. There's not much more you can ask for, is there?

Well, apart from a paid drive in a supercar, of course...!

HERE,HERE,stockhatch782,well said.
