Would love to come and see a night stage on this event, preferably in the snow.

How come there is a Nova Sri entered - thought it was for period cars?

There's an open class for non historic 2wd cars.

I'm co-driving in car 20, a red Escort RS2000. Just finished marking my maps and packing my bags ready for the trip to Pickering tomorrow.

I missed that bloody stratos. I was in the service park and it went out. I was gutted.

But more about the sound than anything. Everyone just went silent and followed it with their ears.

Yea of course. I knew exactly where it was on the circuit despite the hustle and bustle of the service park.

I just really wanted to catch a photo of it.

Went to Newclose Rigg 1 last night but decided to head home early after the delays due to the Stratos and car 26 going off on SS1,

No, I'm not sure if Malcolm has retired from rallying.

A friend of mine is service crew and sent me this photo by text earlier.



Either a light roll or a very low bridge

Sounds like its hard going out there with a fair few accidents!

After last years close, epic rally Bannister leads this years by 4m42!

It was shaping up to be a three battle between Bannister, Robinson, and Pritchard - unfortunately Pritchard went off in the first run of Pundershaw, and Robinson did the same thing in the same place on the second run! Gutted for them both.

We are 6th overall in the little Pinto but 7th and 8th are very close behind, I fear we will be swamped by the BDs on the faster stages tomorrow morning.

Good luck, fantastic seeing you on the stages yesterday. Same to PH's Greensleeves too, currently 2nd in the open.

Caught the sound of the Stratos in Pundershaw last night:

Saw a PH badged Focus at Hamsterley - anyone on this thread?

Now off to scrape layers of mud off my poor Elise...

Spectated at Duncombe Park yesterday. The sound of that Stratos was just epic, and bejesus some of those Mk 2 boys are quick. I know it's probably a generation thing, but for me classic, sideways rallying is much more entertaining than the modern generation of 4wd machines.
