Yeah, don't cut that chicane at Lydden :D
Interesting racing, Ekstrom recovered quite well considering. Solberg a bit silly to have squeezed Timmy, he had already lost the place and could have ended his race. As it was he ended Bakkerud's race and was a bit silly. Was good to see some other people back on the pace and the championship close up a bit.
Really looking forward to Lydden now...apart from the car park.
Munnich (or however he spells it, even the official site doesn't seem sure :D) switch to an ex PSRX DS3 for this weekend http://www.fiaworldrallycross.com/ar...-to-ex-solberg
Bit of a slap in the face of his own car and a shame as I think the Seat looks awesome (and lets be honest, Rene isn't going to be challenging too hard no matter what car he's in.
Excited for the weekend, travelling up tomorrow after work but probably won't be there much before 10 :( Pity as I quit like having a mooch around the pits, the first year we were there with a decent bit of time in hand and there was still quite a bit going on.
Given how much development has been poured into the PSRX DS3's, I don't think it's too much of a slap in the face for his team. That's arguably the best car in the European Championship now, lets hope Munnich will use it properly!
Uploaded a few pictures from Mettet a couple of days ago. Few of my faves...

If anyone is interested. Just one more day of work, then it's a weekend at Lydden. I can't wait!
Wow, a DiRTy gossiper! Floatinggrass here!Quote:

Then Petter gave him a good price.
I'm a bit upset. What should Oliver use now?
I think VW has a few Polo WRC chassis laying around in a warehouse in Wolsburg...Quote:

Oliver didn't use the car that has been sold. Munnich bought the first PSRX DS3, they still have the second one and that is the one Oliver used.Quote:

The car isn’t the DS3 that Solberg raced himself in recent years, but the second car initially raced by Solberg and then used by other drivers in the PSRX squad. However, the Norwegian’s team has brought it up to current specification.
“This isn’t the car Petter drove last year,” continued Munnich. “For speed, the car will be the same level, it’s more or less new. I think it will be the same as the car that he drove last year, 99% anyway.”
So its Liam Doran's former car.Right?
No. It's the car which was used by Alexander Hvaal 2014.Quote:

50th birthday of Rallycross at the home of the sport. :cool:

VW driver's lead at Lydden Hill after Q2. Same Top 5 in both Q1 & Q2 !

Those Polos are unbeatable....
Bit of a quiet event this one.. the only good fight was Loeb beating Ekström.
Polo's so dominant here but at least they have closed up the Championship.
Continuing the WRC legacy I seeQuote:

Really nice battles, and a tight top in the championchips!
Do Audi dare to push ekström to don't drive in höljes?
He is second in wrx, 7 or something in dtm?

Very sad to see the last World Rallycross event at Lydden for the foreseeable future, but an absolutely excellent weekend of racing and a fantastic way to celebrate of 50 years of the sport. So pleased that Solberg won it and, as a consequence, has leveled the Championship standings up.
Good weekend, think it was the last race of Q4 that stood out, great racing from Bakkerud and then Loeb & Ekstrom too iirc. Couldn't believe how many cars lost wheels over the weekend though :eek:
Quite ironic to see the coverage lean so heavily on the history of the sport and Lydden as they prepare to tear a page of it up next year.
Glad I managed to see the World championship there last year. Not sure yet whether I'll go to Silverstone.
Agree, quite ironic playing up the 50 years of the sport at the venue were it was born; the only reason they're going to Silverstone is £$£$£$. It's a dreadful viewing circuit - what it will offer the series is anybody guess.
I won't be, although interested to see what the track is like when they 'launch' tomorrow. One of the great things about Lydden is how accessible and close everything is, I doubt that will transfer to Silverstone. Might make the effort to travel next year instead, maybe Loheac if it's on the calendar.Quote:

I've just been round the new @FIAWorldRX circuit at @SilverstoneUK in a buggy. It was incredible!!! https://t.co/o6p6HmXUb6
Do we have Silverstone RX layout..?

Is this the final layout? Looks a bit like a mickey mouse track to me. If it is so lowspeed in the buggy, have we any footage in a supercar?Quote:

Intrigued to see how they add in the spectator areas to that. Doesn't seem like a massive amount of room really. My first instinct is that it looks sh*te but will wait until the finished version.
There's also the small matter of getting people to that point of the circuit. They will have to open a gap in the F1 circuit to let people across, otherwise you're looking at a 20min walk.
There is at least one bridge that crosses over, that's what I used when I was at iZone for a tour :)Quote:
