Ooops:
OOPS:
I'll try again! With the new rallycross season nearly upon us, lets have a look at some of the new driver/car combinations coming out to play. The main 2 classes: Supercars: George Tracey Peugeot 307cc Steve Hill Mitsubishi Evo 9 Colin Anson Ford KA 4*4 T16 Derek Jobb Ford Escort RS2000 Dermot Carnegie Ford Fiesta ST Ollie O'Donovan New Car!!? Super Modified Martyn Tinker Renault Clio V6 Dave Bellerby Lotus Elis S2 Powered by a Honda Vtec engine (with 4 more to hire!!) Mike Turpin Vauxhall VX220 Dave Pearson Vauxhall VX220 Richard Wakeling MG ZS Paul Wakeling new 2.0 Corsa Ben Bird Vauxhall Corsa Gsi Ben Power Ford KA Phil Collard Lotus Elise Duratec Julian Godfrey Ford Fiesta ST (Fwd Div1a car) Liam Doran Ford Fiesta ST Rwd Mike Howlin Ford Fiesta ST Rwd Aiden McCullagh Peugeot 206 Cosworth David Binks BMW Mini Turbo With all the above cars and those already competing it shouldn't be hard to get 20-25 supercars and 20ish super modified car to each BRC event. Also with each BRC event listed with the FIA, this allows drivers from any EU country to come and comete, lets hope they do, to take on the best in Britain. These numbers culd be further increased if some more of the Irish take up the BRC challenge. Any more news or thoughts?? |

Future is bright in Rallycross best its ever been in a number of years how bouts we all move with the times, I will gladly remember the past in the late 80's with the RS's ,6r4's, Audis, T16's and tell my 3yr old son all about them, Internations The Grand Prix ,European Rounds in Ireland and England. But the Future is where its at and I know he will enjoy this time just as much as i did then. |

Not everyone can afford new cars
Look at Andy Grant had his Escort for god knows how long Lawrence Gibson did tell me ages ago he was condsidering moving to using a Lancer for Rallycross. If the car is still allowed in the sport whats the harm in still allowing them compete and it must be embarrasing to other drivers who have all singing dancing cars to be beaten by a car that was produced back in 85 Too listen to a 6R4 round the Rallycross circuits is a noise in itself compared to the turbo cars Last edited by M.Lowe; 10 Feb 2007 at 13:10. |

i agree, was at the 1st irish round and as nice as georges 307 is the 6r4 is more exciting to watch and sounds 10 times better so i for one hope 6r4s continue to show up for events.

Colin used to run an Escort Cosworth supercar (the car that Chris Langley now has?).

The new v. old debate is an interesting one. The Open Series started with the [sensible] aim of producing a series for exclusively modern cars. Yet ironically they've found that their historic class is by far the greatest success! Did you notice the number of people who left after the Revivals final yesterday? Not sure what that says...
