Spectating
Hi all,
I've just seen Rally Cross on Top Gear and it looks fantastic! I did try to google where I could spectate but I can only really find the world championship and that's very much down south. I live up North and wondered if there was anything local I could watch, it doesn't have to be world class or anything. Just something to get started with spectating. Thanks! |

If you want to see WRX, the cars features on the Top Gear thing, then Lydden is the only place you can see that sadly, a long way from you, almost in France!

While the WRX cars may be the "F1" of Rallycross do not underestimate the thrill of a "normal" UK event. The racing is just as exciting, if not more so.

Hi, it's a shame you didn' pop up on here a few weeks ago as the first round of the British Rallycross Championship was at Croft.
That said, I drove to Croft and back in the day from my home in Surrey, so Lydden isn't the other side of the world... or nearly in France (!). There's an increasing amount of rallycross footage on You Tube, from the VHS recorded fuzziness of the 1970s, 80s and 90s to more recent events in the UK and abroad. The performance of many of the cars is astounding!! That said the Suzuki Swifts offer close racing and the Retro Rallycross Challenge provides the best of both workds - nostalgia NOW! Check online for details of future events and embrace your new-found passion for our sport!! Cheers, Steve |

Thanks for all your replies. I'm not bothered what level of rallycross I see, as long as its something.
Other than the championships are there like local events etc? If not I'll have a look at the croft stuff in October. |

I can highly recommend Blyton - it's near Gainsboro
