Clacton was probably the best hope, and now that is not happening , They had there fair share of NIMBYS , to be fair.

Chris Ingram:

Awesome first drive of the David Appleby Engineering Triumph TR7 V8 ready for next weeks’ classic RAC Rally Roger Albert Clark Rally.

Massive thanks to the DAE team and their partners for such a unique and amazing opportunity to compete in this event in such an iconic and beautifully built machine.

The rally is 5 days long, 2 days in Wales then heading to Scotland and finishing in Carlisle.

Loving the fact that Chris and the team are all growing taches for Movember in a tribute to Pondy. What a nice touch..

Grizedale Stages was today, but abandoned due to the snow Cumbria has had. They got through three stages, quite impressed the organisers gave it a go though. Nice video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyJNu5PZhGs

Another win for the Proton R5, for the record books...

That's both rallies in the Lakes this year severely affected by snow! Let's hope for better luck next year for the Malcolm Wilson and the Grizedale Stages

Cool to see the DS3 R5 in Abu Dhabi livery, but I'm also confused by car #12 - Robert Adamson. It appears to be a 'works' Ford livery with MS-RT, Ford and Ecoboost logos but the colour scheme is not an official M-Sport livery as far as I'm aware. Whatever the reason behind it, it looks cool!

Yeah that faux M-Sport livery is something, isn't it. A lot of effort seems to have gone into it, far better than all over white!

It'll be interesting to see how often we see that DS3 in future. The Driver has just returned to the sport after a lengthy driving ban, comes from a wealthy background, so hopefully we'll see it regularly. Seems to be a Citroen guy, so maybe the best chance we've got to see a C3 in future...
