Anyone going to Brandshatch tomorrow to see Pat Dorans last stint in the RS200??

 

Darren,

Enjoy! I used to go to Rallycross at Brands and Lydden Hill many years ago. It's a very underated sport, and without a doubt it's fantastic motor-sport......In those days fighting it out it was:
John Welch (X-trac Escort)
Martin Shanche (RS200)
Will Gollop (Bi-turbo Metro 6R4)
Rob Gibson (Metro 6R4)
Graham Hathaway and his brother - both had RS200's
Dimi Mavropolis - RAPID Audi Quattro
Mark Rennison (RS200)
Trevor Reeves - Cossie RWD!!!!
.............loads more names/cars I cant remember at the moment.

Darren, no replies to the post and only 7 views

Looks like Rallycross is STILL underated today

 

hmm poor show doug, as you say it's very very underated, never mind i'll post some pics tomorrow evening to show what it's all about

 

would love to go but cant make it.some pics would b nice m8

 

I dont suppose most of those names I listed above mean much now days.

But in those days those car/driver combinations were the BOL**X!!!!!! They fought out some of the most amazing battles.....loads of contact, on the tarmac and on the loose with cars that were 700 -800 BHP.......

 

get to the portsmouth ferry terminal by 0700 doug and you can blag the spare seat

 

I remember a lot of the names and cars above. If I was closer i would have been going as rallycross is the daddy. I usually go to the touring cars but in my opinion rallycross is much better.


Have a great day and lets see your piccies tomorrow please?

Graham

 

Thanks for the offer I'd love to mate, but I got the Exmouth meeting tomorrow afternoon...............I have to turn up - or I'll never hear the end on it

Also, it's a long journey for me now days, I lived in Surrey back then - quite near the M25, so Brands Hatch and Lydden Hill were less than 2 hours journey time.

 

I agree with Doug about it being highly underated, all private teams and open pitlanes, only £10 to get in and a full day out. Will be there tomorrow bright and early with the camera's and bbq's

 

I will be there

 

nthorpey, Darren and Ben - OK, enjoy the day

Look forward to seeing the pictures

 

Where can you find out about the events and when there held for Rallycross?

Saw a feature in one of the Ford mags and it looked awesome, looks like something i'd enjoy

Oh, and whereabouts is Brands Hatch, might make the trip tomoz if its not too far
