Really looking forward to this one
Never been to this venue before & looking @ some of the pics that are posted , It looks like you can sit reasonably close to where you park ? Is this the case ?
Just thinking about taking the picnic / stove stuff down with us for a little bit of munch etc ............

I think there may be a limitation on the spectating at the top of the hill; it looked like they were building a new fence there last time I was at the circuit.

After a 12 year absence from our shores, The European Rallycross Championship is back, and the opening round is at Lydden Hill in Kent. This is not to be missed by any motorsport enthusiast, as it involves the fastest, closest racing I know. 650bhp is the norm. Marcus Gronholm and Henning Solberg are rumoured to be competing amongst some others tbc.
And to top it all, I found out today that, the guest commentator will be........
Murray Walker.
So who's up for watching some real motorsport?

Not sure if the marquee will fit in the boot though, rear strut brace could get in the way.

Look for the marshal with the big white hat and say hello if you get the chance.
Hope you all have a great day out - 70 entries listed on rallycross.com but sadly no scoobs.
Cheers, David & Chrissy

I'd say you've picked a good event for your first time then; the supercar entry list is looking pretty damn good!
I read on another site (Ten Tenths) that the rallycross Scoobs are no longer homologated, so they can't be used in ERC events. How rubbish is that? Scoobs should be back for the UK Rallycross though!

To get an idea of some of the circuit changes, take a look at this clip from last weekend - on the tarmac, but you get a pretty good feel for almost all of the laps. Biggest change for me since the meet in January is that at the top of Hairy Hill the marshals seem to have been removed from the inside of the corner - now have 2 "proper" holes in the tyre wall, one at the entrance & one at the exit of the corner. Also seemed to have an orange presence at the pit lane exit. Presumably, this will mean that this will now become like Chessons - no marshals on the inside to help with any pull offs or other problems - might mean more red flags as the only way to assist is to roll the rescue wagons.
Hope the crowd control isn't just to let all those advertising boards get seen.

Thanks for the video link HairyDJ; I was wondering how far back the new crowd line (on the hill) would run, as they still seemed to be marking it out last time I was down there (Winter Rallycross).
