I think Binks is borrowing an MSE Mk.7 Fiesta? (Erikssons car).

I thought Liam might be entered in the RS200 rather than risking his ERC car (especially after what happened at the first BRC round this year!). Good to see Jansen on the list and Simon Horton making the BRC debut of his new car.

I guess the classics are in an informal class not on this listing. Has anyone any idea on numbers for the classic class yet?

Lyddan1 · 19 Aug 2011, 15:57 (Ref:2942990)

Should be about 6-8 classics.
on website it says rs200 (rennison + doran) and 6r4 (rob, not lawerence gibson) will do demos.

Will Jos Jansen be in the new focus he had at the last ERC event?

Liam is going to use a C4 from another team on loan, for Lydden.
He's using the meeting to promote Monster, and not risk his ERC car.

Understood that Jos Jansen bought the Mk3 Focus from Pauwels and is racing it at Lydden too.

Rumors said it was sold after Belgium for 220.000 Euro (seems cheap for a brand new car with latest style Godfrey engine which according to Koen Pauwels is better than the engine in the 2010 Belgium winning Focus). Still don't like the shape of the new Focus though...

Seems a bit on the large size to be a rally x car or am i missing something ?

I heard through the grapevine that it was about €250,000 and that your sum was about the costs of the car…

Thundersports · 25 Aug 2011, 23:37 (Ref:2946005)

mmm

rx-guru · 26 Aug 2011, 07:48 (Ref:2946178)

As there was already talks about renting a Minnikhanov C4 for Belgium/Holland in case the KHM one of Liam would have too much damages after the X Games 17 I assume that would be their first choice…

**BertMk2** · 30 Aug 2011, 13:54 (Ref:2948313)

Ah right, it could well have been Knuttels car then.

I think I've got a shot of Julian Godfrey going over at Chessons (it looked reasonable on the camera but I haven't seen it on a proper screen yet so it could be junk

)

Yeah, I got some shots of Julian going over, but my lens isn't that great so I already know mine are going to come out a bit crappy! Hopefully someone caught it though.

Didn't see many cars getting much air (or as much air) as they rejoin the Canterbury straight from the loose section this time: or perhaps it was just that Gronholm had raised my expectations of how much daylight I should be able to see under the tyres!

I was just moving forward in my car (on the way out) when Brett Harris had his incident. Glad to hear he's OK as it looked like a vicious crash from my viewpoint.

Good clip, the same poster also has an excellent video of the RS200 in action.

Heres my pics from a cracking days racing
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...8#post13025348

60 races in one day equal bloody brilliant, no waiting for tv like the 1st round, only for accidents and retriving cars from gravel.
Was any more said on Brands, i heard it mentioned but i had to go at 5 and was wondering if anything more was said.

That first picture is an absolute cracker

I'll take a look at the others later

Great shots rallyloverke. Got a similar shot to your first one but from a little further round.

Love that RS200 shot. Great movement and fire as well: perfect!

I noticed the flames a couple of times over there. I think i had about 10 shots each time he came there, and this is the best one. I love this shot too :-)

tbtstt · 31 Aug 2011, 23:11 (Ref:2949133)

Its definately a cool shot! I got some OK RS200 shots from North Bend but none from elsewher.

rallyloverke and dex92; one of you two wouldn't happen to be the tall chap with your gear in a grey toolbox would it?
