I heard over the Tannoy at Brands on Sunday that they are changing the Rallycross course there for this year. Anyone know where it goes?

when the cars come off of knife edge they will now go around clearways and along the main straight,

Not too sure I like that. The old switch back at the end of the pits was always quite good.

Also, when we used to run the startline there in the 80's, assuming no one planted it in the tyres, the next race would start almost as the last car from the previous race peeled of the circuit. The only way we could manage that sort of turnaround was to have two (sometimes three) dummy grids on the straight.

I think our record was 40 races in one day!

Still looking forward to it though!

I agree, long time since rallycross has been at Brands, glad to see the sport getting better and better, bring back the big crowds!

Shame the supercars will be less powerful next year,
