Out rallying again

Re: Out rallying again

I was abroad when entries opened for the north west stages. It had 111 entires in 10 mins!
I put entry in next day & was about 190th with 120 places available.

Thought ‘no probs, 25 entries reserved for protyre championship entrants’. Feckin 75 protyre entrants already before I entered.

Anyway, I’ve got a run. I’ve been moved to about 115th on the unseeded entry list. Probably because I’ve been a regular in the championship the last 2 years.

British championship forest events are struggling I believe, certainty not the case for closed roads tarmac!

Its just a victim of its success, I don't see it as a bad thing. Be nice to have got to enter as its on my doorstep and promotes my company buy hey ho, no big deal.
The Clarke is of interest. Going to do a rally trackday at Angelsey in April for a shakedown, had a lot of changes since its last event.

Not sure my dampers are good enough for Otterburn just yet.

I think things will settle down as proper closed roads become ‘normal’ for tarmac.
I did Otterburn for the first time in 2018, thought it was much like epynt but a bit rougher tarmac

Caerwent is supposed to me a decent event?

I like caerwent, very busy stages that drivers like but navigators often hate.
Lots of tight corners that throw the codrivers around like rag dolls

Some old in-car of mine from Caerwent.

Re: Out rallying again

Yes bits for grpA are silly money, WRC even more. It has wrc hubs, tcas, compression struts etc but its got better geometry than the wrc constraints.
Has active centre diff and plated front and rear diffs. All still available on the shelf to buy at resonable money.

Not doing this year's NWS far too much of a hassle getting an entry due to its popularity.

Be out and about somewhere.

Get some pics of the Escort out.

I'll try to get someone to upload some photos of my Escort but it seems so difficult on this forum.

What dampers are you using on yours Mark? We have Proflex on ours fitted with Gravel rate springs.
