MissClarrpz should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
They are close to finishing a new access road to the circuit, coming in by the entrance to the paddock. Hopefully it'll be done by April or at the very least November.

Joker was probably quicker in the extreme wet. It needs to be slowed but at the same time more flowing. Less than 1s difference especially in wet is not the best. There was an idea to put it around the outside of Chessons. Where it is now is probably the best spot though

I'm just hoping Supernational can be even half as strong as it was at Lydden. I know there'll be more than 2 and a half cars next year but not sure if it will consistently hit 5/6. All4 mini will have 5/6 next year, maybe 7/8 by season end. Combining those classes is probably the best at the moment.

And Supercars, I'm hoping (and expecting) a couple of nice surprises

I know what you mean; it really felt like RALLYcross in those conditions, but it was so bad by the end of the day that a lot of the drivers were clearly (and understandably) driving very cautiously.

I recall the whole thing being a lot quicker in the dry (for Nitro) so I am looking forward to seeing the British Championship tackle it again next year. As you say though...

...I think the "new" Chessons is a huge improvement as well. Full packs of cars going into the corner on lap one and the possibility of multiple lines through the bend.

I couldn't understand the logic here either. There were a lot of races to fit in on the day, doesn't make any sense to me why you wouldn't get cars out on track as early as you can in order to give yourself as much time as possible to play with later in the day.

Fingers crossed. I see Andrew Jordan was advertising his Fiesta yesterday, really hope that gets picked up by a UK driver, it looks absolutely stunning. As you day, I hope Super National can get those sort of numbers for 2023.


Didn't have a great day with the camera, but a few pictures:

Nice As mentioned above those are 'proper' rallycross conditions, I much prefer that to the dust you get on a scorching hot day.
