Are you sure mick?, i could have sworn my subaru had a an oil burner in for Pembrey.Ive also toyed with the idea, obviously front wheel drive only option, hope it all works o.k. Best of luck and pray for rain!!

**BertMk2** · 22 Oct 2010, 10:44 (Ref:2778342)

Any news on an entry list anywhere? The superprix site has been updated but there's no sign of an entry list

It'd be good to see who's going to be in with a shout of winning it this year.

aland · 22 Oct 2010, 15:42 (Ref:2778443)

weather forecast is looking alright, dry but cold. at least if it is dry we can wrap up for it, must remember extra fleece and flask of coffee in the kitbox

Mad Mark Watson · 22 Oct 2010, 18:59 (Ref:2778503)

as usually my bad luck has struck gearbox is destroyed inside 1000's pounds of damage

wont be at superprix and will probably end our good run in Irish too !

when will things go right for me ?

good luck to Adam

two days before the event and no entry list...

they are asking for drivers to make a late entry.

Don't think this is a good sign.

Double bugger.

Hope this isn't a bad sign and they can salvage a decent event - or something - out of this.

aland · 22 Oct 2010, 19:36 (Ref:2778515)

get the scottish legends involved to make up numbers, those guys spend a lot of time in the gravel anyway

seriously hope it doesnt go pete tong as I know knockhill have spent a lot of time and presumably money on prepping the place for the event

Don't panic, a number of drivers missed the original deadline and asked if they could enter on the day, so just letting everyone know.

As for no entry list on the web site, there's a good reason for this so please bear with us.

Thanks to all those who've shown support and got behind the Superprix. Looks like the rain forecast for the weekend isn't going to make it to Knockhill so we should see some great rallycrossing.

Shame about the gearbox Mark - get well soon Xsara.

.

i dont see what good reason there could be. People arnt gonna make a long trip to the event without knowing who is doing it.

mivec · 23 Oct 2010, 09:55 (Ref:2778834)

Same idea here!

If i have time i visit every rallycross meeting in Lydden.
I book the tunnel weeks or months ahead.
For the "special" race at januari 3rd i don't make reservations for the tunnel until i see an entry list.

A Sport Racing · 23 Oct 2010, 10:22 (Ref:2778849)

Looking at the dark grey skies outside the rallycar might of gone well up there this weekend £95 entry fee was very appealing too...

Rallycross! · 23 Oct 2010, 10:35 (Ref:2778861)

I was thinking of making the journey but I heard that there's only a couple of Supercars entered, can anyone confirm or hopefully tell me otherwise?

is it too much to ask to see a list the day before the event?

chasing cars · 23 Oct 2010, 10:52 (Ref:2778866)

Still no entry list, also not sure how this now can be called the UK's premier rallycross event, not even Scotlands. If I was local then I would go to watch this meeting but with the knowledge that it is little more than a minor clubby event. I hope those that do go are under no illusions and that it doesnt put them off returning in the future.

rich_cooper · 23 Oct 2010, 20:09 (Ref:2779045)

im sorry but no entry list the day before an event is very very poor. This would be bad for a club event never mind something thats ment to be a big event. Even if i was local i wouldnt be going!

Wouldnt be a shock if the attendance is low from both drivers and speccies.

Rallycross! · 24 Oct 2010, 18:12 (Ref:2779712)

I decided not to go in the end, not even sure if it went ahead - Is there any news?

rossjmcgregor · 24 Oct 2010, 18:15 (Ref:2779714)

Wasn't up to much really. I went up for an hour and came home again to watch the grand prix. Very few interesting cars there, very disappointing for such a 'big' event.

Is this is "a good reason" (as told by GM!) for not showing the entry list?

aland · 24 Oct 2010, 18:28 (Ref:2779719)

it went ahead, was freezing cold with a bitter windchill but the SMRC and DDMC marshals donned their fleeces and worked hard, tbh I was not impressed with the entries or racing but hey you get days like that

We did exactly the same thing. I think I counted 20 or 21 cars in total, We left before any of the actual "racing" began so don't know how many categories they were split into.
