There was certainly a lot of buzz about them when they were revealed - the inboard brakes were certainly an interesting feature (although presumably not that much of a step forward as we haven't seen that replicated by others).

Ah nice - I do like those Volvos. Ex Mertens car (assuming the name in the window is genuine) so it should be well sorted.

I was hoping it would dry out for the night racing, as I thought that was much more spectacular in the dry. Good news is that Sunday appears to be dry though, so hopefully two days of racing this year.
Whilst I probably prefer rallycross in the wet I do feel sorry for Lydden as crappy weather may well reduce their income from the weekend and obviously they put a lot into this one. Hopefully anyone coming over from the continent gets here ok given all of the disruption at the moment.
