Europeans coming to Lydden Hill!

1975DCS · 3 Mar 2008, 18:36 (Ref:2143488)

Early this morning I got a mail (in respons on mine) and he confirms that they are coming to Lydden Hill!

That means good news for the spectators as this is the first Div 1 Golf to hit the UK?

They make constant progress with their re-developped and re-build Golf and this will be their first outing with the Golf on a very fast track...

Anyway give the man and his crew a big welcome! I am sure they appreciate that!

Cheers!

Koen Pauwels is also coming to Lydden Hill, and Patrick van Mechelen should be going too, if the engine problems are fixed.

BOY BLUNDER · 4 Mar 2008, 10:34 (Ref:2144012)

Good to see them,i'll make them welcome on the startline.

BB...

**BertMk2** · 4 Mar 2008, 10:45 (Ref:2144016)

It'll be good to see some different models out there - I hope Van Mechelen lasts a bit longer than his previous visit to Lydden! Is Pauwels driving the Fabia?

zac510 · 4 Mar 2008, 11:23 (Ref:2144041)

Are they seeing Lydden as a good pre-ERC warmup event?

Cryos · 4 Mar 2008, 11:26 (Ref:2144042)

isnt lydden just closer for them ?

BOY BLUNDER · 4 Mar 2008, 12:00 (Ref:2144070)

Yes bert it will be good to see some new different stuff out there,and yea lets hope the scooby does a bit better this time.

Pauwels will enter his Focus in Lydden, but there's still hope to get a Helga in Lydden as Coox is looking to include Lydden in his race scedule.

**BertMk2** · 4 Mar 2008, 13:21 (Ref:2144132)

Excellent

I'd love to see a Fabia at Lydden.

bestrep · 4 Mar 2008, 20:08 (Ref:2144424)

With free entries and free tyres on offer to the Europeans that come to Lydden, there should be several that would find the event tempting.

Second that

BOY BLUNDER · 5 Mar 2008, 10:19 (Ref:2144801)

Roll on easter weekend,nice weather and the kent air full of rallyx,bring it on.

mivec · 6 Mar 2008, 14:32 (Ref:2145672)

At this moment Van Mechelen is NOT going to Lydden.
If some more Belgian and / or Dutch drivers go he can change his plans.
He has planned a short Easter holiday at that time.

A holiday in Kent is nice.

When is the (provisional) entry list comming?

Rallycrossfreak · 6 Mar 2008, 15:00 (Ref:2145687)

he has a lot of Engine problems
thats seems the reason I think

Also the second part of last year he was suffering with Engine problems
ERC Valkenswaard he did'nt start and the reliability in the national events was even gone.

CS1 · 6 Mar 2008, 15:53 (Ref:2145721)

I thought it was because he didnt want to get rammed by a load of 6R4's!!

I know this is not a serious comment, but to be hounest, if both Scooby and any 6R4 have no mechanical gremlins, the Scooby will beat any 6R4 fair and square.

But something else: is there a chance that either Jordan or Evans will enter for the Easter race?

Great point it would be awesome if they did........................

mel tyres · 6 Mar 2008, 21:21 (Ref:2145947)

my money would be on the metro. Only if Lawrence Gibson was driving. He is the BEST metro pilot ive seen.

1975DCS · 6 Mar 2008, 21:34 (Ref:2145952)

Would be nice to see Evans and Jordan up against our Belgian and Dutch entrances. Would be great to see how they face up with the Fabia's, Impreza and Golf!

I really like the Astra of Evans, I think it is one of the best looking cars in the field! And it is prepped as neat and tidy as a WRC or roadlegal track car... Bardy I Want one! And I drive a VAG...

bestrep · 6 Mar 2008, 22:20 (Ref:2145978)

the Astra Will Never Compete In A Brda Event!!.

1975DCS · 6 Mar 2008, 22:26 (Ref:2145986)

Yes I know (for the reasons he mentioned earlier). Too bad, because it would have been a very nice grid with a lot of my favs cars on.

Too bad I can't come either: I would love to see the 306 again, as the last time is saw it, it was in the hands of Gollop in the ERC...

You are damn right, I have been to a couple of ERC events and the only ones that come close to similar preparation are Hansen's Citroens or Eriksson's Fiestas!

1975DCS · 6 Mar 2008, 23:11 (Ref:2146026)

And Jos Kuypers Focus'!

why do you know something we dont (good car and driver) another supercar in the brda would be good

**BertMk2** · 7 Mar 2008, 12:10 (Ref:2146295)

Chris fell out with the BRDA over the publicity he recieved (or lack of) when he became BRDA champion.

Does anyone know if there are any Europeans coming over to race in supermodified? That Volvo was good fun last year
