If this happens its brilliant news will be getting my stock hatch out for that, great timing as with the circuit racing season now over will be good fun to do some rallycross, hopefull in some really muddy or even snowy conditions like they did in the 70's! bring it on

**silver bullet** · 14 Oct 2008, 17:18 (Ref:2312346)

I thought that in the interview that Amy gave on the August BRxC TV programme, she said that the circuit would be closed over the winter so that improvements could be done.
Are the works ahead of schedule, if so this is great news

Sounds almost nostalgic, but at my age I think I might stay at home in my slippers in front of the fire.

Yep I heard this also!
Although if your sponsered by Hydrex I guess you can have as many machines there any time you like to get the works done.Still be interested in how they are going to remedy the start line situation and form up grids,or is there going to be a new tarmac section where the bouncy castles have been the last 2 events leading on to the existing tarmac?

Hickey · 15 Oct 2008, 16:10 (Ref:2313131)

Surely they could just armco the other side of grass (start line side) of paddock bend. At the events I have been to this year all that separates the dummy grid from the track is an armco barrier (though in fairness the don't go into the final bends at Kerlabo and Maasmechelen at oevr 100 mph, so maybe it wouldnt work!)

As for the winter series, sounds great and would be great if they are ahead of schedule and can bring in Europeans - who would surely want to come try the track out for April (fingers crossed on licence)

jonbryant · 15 Oct 2008, 17:28 (Ref:2313199)

Might give me something to do over the winter then!

Copperbottom · 15 Oct 2008, 17:33 (Ref:2313206)

Hmmm,I wonder if there'll be a revivals class that I can run my mk1 escort in?

**BertMk2** · 15 Oct 2008, 19:50 (Ref:2313312)

I believe a rally car class has been mentioned as a possible.

My car's not road legal (it's in race trim)so I don't think I could run it as a rally car or could I?

**BertMk2** · 16 Oct 2008, 09:02 (Ref:2313676)

I guess we'll have to wait until regs appear for a final verdict - to see what the classes are and what the restrictions are. I guess something more along the lines of the revivals class would suit you?

rallycrosscraig · 16 Oct 2008, 09:13 (Ref:2313692)

I might bring a BMW 325 production rally car if there is going to be a suitable class for it?

PhilChicken · 16 Oct 2008, 11:29 (Ref:2313775)

Has any one got the dates yet? The rumor at Mondello was Boxing day and New years Day plus one other.

This has to be a wind up! It is a wind up isnt it?

Well, those days are fine by me, the whole 8 minute drive to the track wont be affecting my festive drinking sessions.

But i reckon it wont be those days cos most of you guys have to travel the night before. Could you imagine waking up, opening yer prezzies, then telling the wife and kids ' come on no big turkey dinner today, I will get ya's all a KFC cos we are going racing...'

As it happens, it would suit me perfectly, as boxing day is the day i have to spend with HER family. I could get a right result ! BRING ON BOXING DAY RACES

Yes, might be up for it if there is a rallycar class. But seriously folks can someone tell us if this is going to happen or not? If we are going to have to cancel Christmas please give us some notice!

PhilChicken · 17 Oct 2008, 10:41 (Ref:2314596)

I have a vauge recollection of going to Croft on Boxing day to see a rallycross in the late 70's early 80's.

bigted · 17 Oct 2008, 11:27 (Ref:2314623)

All will be revealed shortly

**BertMk2** · 17 Oct 2008, 12:09 (Ref:2314649)

Well make sure you tell us when it is

Yes you are right we did run them on Boxing Day or near to it, I broke off from Xmas celebrations once and drove from near London leaving at 3am to Croft helped run the event and drove back to London back by 9pm and continued said celebrations, now I would want at least 3days to do something as mad.
