Anyone going to this?

Pat Doran is using the RS200 for one last time!

I sense some serious boost!!

If you never been to rallycross before - do it!! Its a great day out! The open pit lane is a great idea too. Gives you a chance to get right up close to the cars and chat to the drivers.

Its only a tenner too if i reemmber right

 

where's brands hatch

 

Kent mate, 10 mins from me

 

will be there, went last year and it was brilliant

 

bit far for me then

 

shame spike as it was really good last year, the pits was the bollox

 

Will someone be doing a video of this car?
And what will become of the car?

 

Last year was great! That RS200 is sick fast when its running right!

Best moment of the day was when we was walking around the pits. We was in looking at Pats mechanics at work trying to replace a wheel baring. This mechanic wasn't doing a great job and my old man turns around and shouts:

"Dont tickle it - fucking hit it!!!"

The looks from those mechanics was priceless!

 

I'll be recording the whole event!

 

yep same here

 

SimonT: And make it into a divx video ?

 

yeah ill upload it

Not a fan of DivX myself - Mpeg all the way

 

fookin pmsl

 

what time does the event run?

 

starts at 10 i think

 

Thanks for that. I am deffo going to go!

 

it starts about 9am and finishes at around 4.30 - 5pm (depending on crashes, stoppages etc)

Even those kids in the mini's are fun to watch racing - theres aways one who thinks he's the big man then "whooooops" one stacked mini

 

mmmmmmmmm only 90mins from clare

 

you will love it there lee, proper yb power

 

Its the Zetec Turbo and BDTE that do it for me!!

 

dermots focus sounded awsome last year coming down that staright flat out

 

*drools uncontrolably*

 

did ya see the doughnut he done on the last race?

 

yeah mate! got it all on video! Was funny watching the course markers flying everywhere!

Im really looking forward to this

 

guys dont miss it!it will be last time to see these cars in their current specs!next year they are being restricted!I spoke to Andrew Nesbitt at mondello a couple of weeks ago,think he's taking Dermots focus out on track!

Justin

 

he's not mate - he's gonna be driving Pat Dorans WRC escort

http://www.patdoran.co.uk/news.htm

 

be interesting to see if he puts his hand in his pocket!another Irish skull to a brilliant championship!

 

Cant argue that Dermot is a pukka driver! Probably the best out there at the mo

Will always be a Doran fan myself, close 2nd is Mr Gallop!

 

think I'm working

otherwise, will deffo go to this always wanted to do to rally x

 

Simon,
some of the top rally drivers over here have shown an interest in the rallycross because it rolls around the off season of the irish tarmac championship...iam wondering will Andrew be the first as his son is doing the junior class at the moment

 

I might be going to this. Altho it's the pi$$ up in Chelmsford the night before Will def try & be there though if I can drag my drunken aRSe out of bed in the morning

Last year was fooking awesome. I thought Pat had retired the 200 already and had put the engine in an escort. maybe wrong tho

 

Pat did retire the RS200 and purchased a geniuen WRC spec Escort (full sequential box etc) but kept the Escort as a YB engine.

The RS200 I believe was kept and to be used in the pikes peak championship in the states - but Its been obvious all season that Pat has been missing the RS200 so it will be good to see it back in action!

 

very true. That car is a work of art and so quick it's unbelievable. It'll be interesting to see the fiesta next year & see what he can do with that.

 

I'll be there too
