Thanks - just pencilled it on the calendar.

Depends on the weather. Harewood is somewhat exposed. Brrr.

Depending on where you stand you may also require a crash helmet and safty glasses. laugh

Yeah, they've launched at me over the hump of grass on the last corner before. Maybe i was taking a picture of their bad side, lol.

new sawtooth kerb at entrance to Orchard corner could prove interesting as the drivers see how far they can run onto it, I reckon saloons can prob go maybe 1/3rd on, single seaters will have to stay well off.

new timing displays have been erected and should be operational

And there is now a tarmac road round the other half of the paddock.

See you all Sunday

to get the best view, you'll need to be behind Orchard marshals post, ie down the farm track behind Quarry(last corner), quite a good place for pix, fast left then slow right catches a few out and if you get in the right place you can see nearly down to Willow, the new kerb is on the fast left bit so the drivers will have to actually turn left then right instead of straight lining the first bit half on the grass hehe

if you go out over the cattle grid into the top field, turn left as though you are coming behind Quarry, go thru the gate in the far corner and follow the lane down the hill (4x4s only!!)it takes you down toward the farm and behind Orchard, no need for smuggling!

I know where you mean now...definitely head down that point (weather dependant obviously!)

Made the mistake of heading down the start line car park last year when the heavens decided to open....rally driving in a 7 series is soooo much fun rofl

I usually do all my photo taking on the last corner, or in the pits area.

All about the last corner, lol.
