World Rallycross R4 - Lydden, England
Entry list for Round 4 now online:
http://media.rallycrossrx.com/docs/W...%20list%20.pdf 30 Supercars 20 Touring Cars 10 RX Lites Good to see solid numbers for the Touring Cars. Had been hoping for a few more Supercars, but at least there are plenty of home drivers to cheer on. |

Glad I've bought tickets for both days. For people going on sunday I would make sure you take something todo as the morning does drag a bit.

Sunday for me is the ONLY day to go.
Far more track action, less amde for tv schedule fiddling. And you get to see practice. And it cheaper. And there are less people thre. Whats to lose! |

Unless they have changed the dates (again), I thought that it was running on Saturday/Sunday? Otherwise, completely agree, last year especially, more action on the first day and it's good to see practice. Especially as there will be a few cars i havent seen before (mostly TouringCars) I always like to see them come out in practice.

Indeed, forgive the date mixup I get mixed up between the bank holiday days and this one, too many Mondays spent watching rallycross there.
Saturday was great last year, and will probably go this year. |

In one short article this Group B parade is described as: "Big news", "Spectacular feast", "Major Attraction", "Seriously evocative", "Mouthwatering", "Wonder", "Eye-catching", "Much-loved", "Unmissable", "Dazzling", "Hallowed", "Magical" Not to mention they compete in "dramatic races" at the "exciting", "new" (huh?), "action-packed" WRX-round. |

From what I gather Will's car is still safely hidden away at Ken Sims house where his widow is rather not keen at all to let it out of her sight as it was Ken's pride and joy.
So I rather doubt it is the Biturbo. Not much here to whet the appetite, a parade? |

I hope there are a couple of Group B cars running with the Retro class. Be nice to see Pat give the RS200 a non-incendiary run. |

Time table is up. Saturday by far the best day to go. 30 races against 27 and longer practice. Given the ticket prices for the Sunday, I don't agree with that split. Going to need the retros to fill in some gaps.
Also, Tristan Ovenden in an RX Lite? That's great news for him. Fingers crossed for a good event. |

Just seen the time schedule for day 2, which is a Sunday. Have Lydden managed to get a change to the noise restrictions, as I thought they couldn't have engine noise until 12?

There was a bit of drift filler at Mettet (drift truck not a drift car) which wasn't my thing, but it was something to watch instead of looking at an empty track. Looking at the timetable, I will be treating 14:00 - 15:00 (Saturday) and 13:30 - 14:00 (Sunday) as the lunch breaks. |

Does anyone know what the deal is with tickets?
Do you just book them now and pick them up or is there a closing day for advance tickets prices, predictably there is nothing on their site or ticket site about this? |

You have to print the bloody things at home! And they charge you for the privilege of doing so!

Might be worth shooting them an email to see if you can buy them on the gate.
