Re: Mk1 RS2000 Tarmac & Road Rally car

Mike & Team newly christened "Murderer Motorsport" will be at Caerwent for sure.

We will be made up of a 3 car team( all escorts ) for the event and all involved are starting to get excited!!

Yes , regs are in already.
I had a split in a chassis rail which I've now fixed.
I've entered the road rally class so I'll be on yokohamas.


I think I will need a rolling road session soon as it hasnt been set up for ages .

Thinking of investing in a tension strut kit, a mate had his XE grp 4 set up with tension struts & it turned in like a go kart!

I think we should discuss 'team orders' in case it gets a bit tight

Re: Mk1 RS2000 Tarmac & Road Rally car

No problem, mine's a pint!!

You know my car is only just finished so i'm taking no chances, going to be like "Driving Miss Daisy"!!

Not going to wreck all your hard work on the car and put it on it's roof (wait until next event for that!).

Re: Mk1 RS2000 Tarmac & Road Rally car

Think there is a link to some old stage diagrams on the british rally forum website under the thread
"Fast Impressions Tour of Caerwent". Basically all 90 degree corners with big kerbs everywhere!!

Brilliant event, you'll be back for sure!!

Like Matt said, you can download the old stage maps from the link on the british rally forum.
