Good news for all us British fans (depending on the licence being granted). See you all there! |

I'm not registered with that website so I can't read the article, but presumably Lydden has made the 2009 calendar as predicted in Autosport back in August. If that's the case, it's great news for British fans like you say. I think I remember reading that the licence would only be granted if a new loose section is added, but fingers crossed that all gets sorted out.

Burnsie, it says that Lyddens place is dependant on the work being finished. I presume thats the widening of the start line and also the loose. The dates given are 11th-13th April, round 1.

FANTASTIC!!
Best news I've heard all year!!  Judging by the improvements that had been made by the August bank holiday BRC event this year, the work that needs to be done is well in hand! Congratulations to Team Doran!! |

This is great news for the UK. Fingers crossed that all the conditions have been met, and that the event is given the green light.
I see that the provisional date is the Easter weekend. What does this mean for the traditional BRDA/MSA opening round and also the BTRDA championship? Will there be enough time and paddock space to run these events alongside, or will the domestic calendar have to be re-jigged? |

ERC 2009
I must says those guys of ERC24 were fast today to bring this news.
I think all credits to bring out this news must go to them. |

@RX-guru. I presume this is an ode at the boys of ERC24. If I meet one of these lads I will tell him.

Yep Dutch-RX, please do so – and forward my best regards to the one that went to Paris yesterday. It seems to me that he did a bloody good job there!

Does anybody know the latest on the 'jokerlap'? It won't be obligatory next year, but perhaps in 2010? Will Lydden have one next year?

Quote from ERC24 news 1061 of September 6:
"[…] Just a few days after the latest FIA ORC meeting, Lasure appeared to have calmed the drivers with the news that the ORC had proposed to reduce the maximum number of the events in the championship from 12 to 10 and also to make the recommendation that all new circuits should include a Joker Lap and that all existing tracks must add the section at their next scheduled track inspection. […]" However, don't know yet if the Joker Lap was further discussed yesterday in Paris. Will try to find out… |

Great News!!!
Not a bad week for the Dorans so far. I reckon they should buy a lotto ticket before the end of the week......

AFAIK now the Joker Lap was at least not on the Paris table yesterday.

Thank you for this information. So there will still be real rallycross in the near future
The Eurocircuit however will have a hard and expensive road to get back in the ERC
