chasing cars should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Certainly wasn't necessary to cancel it, yes it was bloody cold but wasn't rallycross once a winter sport?

Yes great to have a new circuit and spectating wise fine with just a a few hundred spectators at a British round but 25000? Not that I believe there are 25000 dumb enough to pay the extortionate prices being charged but there's no way even quarter that number will see anything. And they say WRX has out grown Lydden? Maybe from a facilities side but not for actual viewing side. And for sure the Stowe building will be out of bounds, either vip or spotters tower.

As far as the racing was concerned it was actually quite good, the tight nature of the track giving those with less power a chance to shine. Great drive by Jack Thorne, got quicker and quicker as the day went on. Thought the circuit suited the buggies and retros, both helped by not using the joker section,and Roger Thomas looked promising in his focus.
Somethings don't change though, too many back to back races for swifts and minis, no luck for Mad Mark and Kevin Procter still cant get it off the line!
