[306 Cosworth]

[Allyc85]

Any spectator info, ive been on the MC webiste but there isnt much there?

[Allyc85]

But thats because it says there will be info soon *insert embarrassed smiley here*

[306 Cosworth]

Yeah it will be there this week.

Although I happen to know the first run starts at 9:15.

[Allyc85]

Weather forecast is looking a bit damp at the moment.... should make it extra slippery for them :D

[Rob68]

Any one heard about spectator info, still nothing on the site?

[Allyc85]

Thats what I was wondering, theres not even an exact location of the event which would help lol.

[306 Cosworth]

The exact location is Haye Park. Everything is within Haye Park woods. Rally HQ, Scrutiny, Servicing and of course the stage.

[Rallyst3ve]

The speccy entrance will clearly be signposted off the A49 so you shouldnt miss it?

Starts 9.00

[Allyc85]

Ideal, cheers guys. Will be wearing a white honda jacket so if you see me come say ello :)

[Allyc85]

Had a great day today. Some great RWD action and the 306 Cosworth sounded great once some early technical issues were sorted. The Voodoo escorts were stunning to watch, especially in the afternoon through the fast left, right I was spectating from.

The drive home wasnt so fun. The rain was incredible and the wind made it really hard to keep the car straight at times.

Pics will follow :D

[306 Cosworth]

Ok here's my video of the top 3 finishers. Will have a video full of sideways action tomorrow

[Allyc85]

Great pics, loving that Voodoo Escort fully sideways! What happened to Burton in the end? I had found a perfect place for the last run and he didn't appear!

Heres a few of my efforts..

[306 Cosworth]

I think his rear drive shaft broke, looks like it was only FWD looking back at my footage.

[Allyc85]

I did think he was keeping it a bit straighter than normal lol. Was a shame as id found a fast right/left which normally would have been ideal.

Both your videos are superb as always mate, I can just about spot myself (a white flash) in the 2nd one 2 minutes 3 seconds in lol.

[Rallyst3ve]

Heres my video from a fantastic days rallying :D

[306 Cosworth]

Look forward to seeing all your clips of AB :D Did you film any of the convoy runs?

[Rallyst3ve]

I will put up a vid of AB tmoro. I filmed the second convoy run and burton come past pretty on it so thats another clip i can add in :D

[Allyc85]

lol yea, the bloke I was stood next to said they were meant to go through at up to 30mph. I think you could have at least doubled it where I was lol!

[Rallyst3ve]

Lol i wish i had filmed the first convoy run as Grehan, Price and Elliot were getting the Escorts well sideways round the hairpin i was at.

[Allyc85]

lol yea, this pic (I think you filmed from here in the morning?? is from the convoy :D

Was meant to ask, what engine is in the RWD Focus, 2.0 Duratec?

[306 Cosworth]

Engine in the focus is a 2.4, not sure who built it though.

[MrJan]

Who was in the white Corsa? Looks like he was on it :up:

[Rallyst3ve]

It was Neil Weaver hes got his old corsa back :up: was going really well :up:

[MrJan]

It was Neil Weaver hes got his old corsa back :up: was going really well :up:

:up: Always was an absolute flyer. There are a handful of blokes who really peddle those small FWD hatchbacks, Julian Wilkes is another who always seems to be getting every last bit out of the car.
