Hampton Caught should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hi Pete,

Thanks for the first post, very interesting stuff.

Was this the car you used at Brands Hatch in its original rallycross format, whereby the cars entered Paddock Hill bend and immediately turned back on themselves to join the Cooper Straight (thus cutting off the whole of Druids), before cutting across the grass again to rejoin the start/finish straight at the end of Clark Curve?

I can remember being there for my first ever rallycross event and watching the MGB GT V8 hurtling at epic speeds towards Paddock Hill, but often being unhappy at turning right on to the rough stuff! I recall there being some Vauxhall Firenzas having the same handling 'issues'.

Such a shame that Brands Hatch seems to have turned its back on rallycross. The Grand Prix events in December through the 80's were not to be missed!

Any photos and anecdotes you can share will be warmly received.

Cheers, Steve
