Think I will be going for the kip in the car option and doing the whole three days. Best rally of the year by far, can't help but get excited when you look down an entry list and it's nigh on 75% Escorts plus a few Cortinas for good measure.

[Stace]

Will be making the effort to go to this one

I will be marshalling on langdale on saturday

it should be good, the stage is run twice in the day. Marshalling is great though, you get to watch from the best places and there are usually some freebies for doing it. And no marshalls=no event so get out there and help

There is also the clubmans rally on running after the RAC

it will cost to get into Dalby to spectate heard it might be £10to20 per car

What did u guys think of the event then?

I was marshalling on junction 4 in langdale which was a 90 right 90 left combo into a very long sweeping left down to junction 5

Jimmy Mcrae was awesome thru here, just sliding it enough to be really quick was definitely one of the fastest and bravest past us, 95% of the other competitors had a big lift or braked for the big sweeper but not jimmy.

Of the others i thought Bob Beans lotus cortina sounded awesome it just screamed. And he is bloody quick despite being about 70 ( i hear his winter fuel allowance from government bought him some new tyres for the event lol) The irish guys were very sideways and seemed to be having fun.

 

The only real excitement on our stage was the fiesta ST that fell over the first time thru and broke on the second time and the guy in the mk1 that put it in the ditch after the stop line whilst taking his helmet off (DOH)
