New Year Rallycross Charity Challenge - Lydden Hill
Just spotted this on Facebook, so I thought I'd post it up here for anyone who hasn't seen it. The British Rallycross Championship have announced a charity rallycross event on Saturday 2nd January. Details from Facebook are as follows...

Take it all gate receipts go to cancer research?

Seen it's been advertised via the FIA WorldRX website. Will the cars be back from Argentina by then (assume they'll be shipped back rather than air freighted)? A few made it to Lydden at the end of the season last year for the Top Gear episode so here's hoping.

I would think the Solberg DS3 will be heading back to the UK post-Argentina (in preparation for the Autosport show). Unlikely, but would be a pretty cool guest driver if someone could talk him into it! |

I hope this does go ahead and get a decent turnout - the old winter series events were good fun to watch (although usually bloody cold! )

Doesn't Solberg turn out a Xsara for those events? Also with his car and transporter up for sale probably no rush to get it back. Could also use Liam's DS3 considering they're supposed to be a team this year (SDRX)

Would be good to see Tohill shakedown his new OMSE Fiesta too and hope for a few Belgians to pop over. Strangely missed Jos Jansen this year at Lydden

I think Solberg had his DS3 on static display at Birmingham last year and he used the Xsara for the live shows? |

According to posts on Facebook this event has now been cancelled due to lack of entries. Gutted, as I was rather looking forward to some rallycross so early in the year!

Not surprised! I only heard this was happening today... and now it isn't! It is a great idea but it needs to be marketed properly. If hard-core fans hadn't heard about it there's not much chance of anyone else finding out...

The Lydden Facebook page makes mention of a rallycross track day on the 3rd, so there might be something to watch early in the year.
