It's in the new issue of Rallycross World. It seems Sunday is for testing and first heats, with the rest of the heats and finals taking place on Monday.
It will be well worth coming on the Sunday as I'm sure there will be lots of track action. Everybody will be wanting to give their cars a good shakedown, after the winter break. |

Is Lydden expecting an ERC-like entry? And Easter Monday was brilliant as a date, everyone has a holliday and it was a brilliant wake-up after sundays diner with the family. How on earth are you supposed to get a large crowd on sunday as most of us are expected to do "the family thing"?

As Phergator says, Easter Monday was such a brilliant date. This diminishes the value of the total race weekend. Even in the European Championship, Saturday crowds are at best a quarter of the Sunday crowd.
I assume the British races will still run 'reversed', meaning Div1 first? Not so attentative people, or people who have to travel some distance, could end up missing two heats of Division 1 qualifying if they are not strictly on time. This could put people off. |

I know that Easter is early this year but it should still be light enough to race until 6.00pm which is curfew time.
The Sunday curfew means that you cannot start racing until 12.30. I don't think that there have been any ocaisions over the last few years when there has not been enough time to run all the heats and finals on Monday. ROC have even managed to fit a full programme into a Sunday afternoon. Unless there are plans to 'fill the time ' on Monday with other things I cannot understand why its been made into a two day meeting. Maybe Amy or Pat could enlighten us all? |

Not sure what is going on with the website but as far as I am concerned (and I am Clerking it ) the dates are as follows
Mon Mar 24 - Lydden (possibly with some action and maybe a set of heats on the Sunday yet to be confirmed) we would normally do signing on and maybe some scrutineering on the Sunday anyway Sat / Sun May 3 - 4 Pembrey - hopefully 2 rounds as per Touring cars Sun 6th July Croft - joint meeting - personnaly looking forward to this as I worked with DDMC at the London Masters and it was a pleasure. MONDAY AUGUST 25 Lydden Sun Sept 28th September - Pembrey and finally Sun October 12th Mondello for the season final - and a few Guinie (I believe that is teh plural of Guiness) KA aka TW. |

Thanks for that
Must just be a clerical error on the BRDA website. |
