Octane Magazine (UK) - Pat Doran RS200 Feature
Not sure if anyone is interested, but there is a feature on Pat Doran's rallycross RS200 in the November issue (#173) of Octane Magazine. Hal Ridge drives the car and, although I might be biased because of the subject material, I thought it was a good read.
The cover looks like this: It's not a magazine that I read very frequently, but a mate of mine had a copy in the middle of a stack of papers and I happened to notice it said "Rallycross RS200" on the spine! |

Aye, think this was done months ago. They also put a few people in the C4 I think as I have seen the odd article
Problem with these mags, is they are very pricey!! A fiver or more and sadly rammed full of adverts. But hopefully the piece is different, and the Triggers broom element of that car comes across!! |

Last time I saw this RS200 featured in a magazine was in 2003: I wonder how much of the car then is present now! |

Not a huge amount I'd have thought - it's been bashed and barbecued since then! Probably just the tub and frame - bodywork on those things is pretty much a consumable part

In other RS200 news, Ken Block revealed his new daily driver this week. After posting a couple of teasers...
...the full car was revealed: After seeing the top picture I was expecting something hideous, but I actually think that black colour scheme is pretty tasteful. There is a short video of the RS200 trundling around which claims the car is #34. Be interesting if that is correct, as it was originally believed that Block had bought #80 from Norway. |

I would think the black car is an old archive pic? He bought 2 RS200's and sold one back to the UK, the ex Trevor Hopkins car that is soon to be finished I gather.
The other ones look truly hideous, but it's Block, what would expect! |

Yeah, I knew about the ex-Hopkins car, the Ford Performance video implies that there is a third car in the mix, but the description of the above car (2.4L engine and blue colour scheme) seems to confirm it is #80 from Norway. |
