OK, a quick report.The first two stages (ran at the same time) at Fleetwood were great, lots of action and some great cars. The next two stages at Fleetwood were after a 30min break, however the little bit of rain we had froze solid and left the stage with zero grip, so ended up being a parade lap, with a few Mk2 Escort boys doing some donuts. I watched about half of the stages on the front in Blackpool, which were running late. However the rain was getting too much so left. Took ages to get home as although Blackpool had some snow, further north got hit hard, and roads leading to my house were closed. I didnt get many photos, however I got lots of videos so will share when I have edited them together. ________________________________________ danposs86's GTi-6 |

I was out in car 70 in this, my first and last time navigating. We were running dead last I think until we stopped in the middle of Weeton on stage 19 when the car cut out just before the chicane. At least the car was still in one piece unlike some of the others. The weather was unbelievable at times, how the marshals and spectators stood outside in that all day I will never know. ________________________________________ 306 2.1 S16 Tarmac Rally CarProject thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=143956 |

We got caught out by the weather so had to take it easy due to being on the wrong tyres. Not the lightest car in the world and was very difficult to stop in those conditions. ________________________________________ 306 2.1 S16 Tarmac Rally CarProject thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=143956 |

Loved the video, that Mk2 was superb! Watched very similar escorts on the Roger Albert Clark Rally a few months ago....The sheer pickup in 2nd and 3rd gear in those things is IMMENSE! I giggle a bit when i hear them screaming away from slow corners.....can't wait til it's back on Motors TV again! ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

I was there Friday eve, was dry but absolutely freezing! Didn't help having to wait around for an hour before things properly kicked off. Was by the double hairpin, so there were a few spins and 3 point turns (crap handbrake perhaps?  ) Plus an escort cosworth left braking too late for a chicane and sent a barrel flying down the road and dislodged its light pod in the process. Next run it was flapping about all over the place  ________________________________________ High boost '6 for weekends406 2.1 Executive for weekdays |

Nice video , looks confusing with cars going all over the place but good for spectators, liking that mk2 escort pushing the skoda over to be first into that single track section Do you know what kind of speeds they get upto on that single track link road between the car parks? |

It must of been confusing because the amount of cars that forgot to turn instead of going straight on was comical.No idea what the speeds were between the two car parks, fast? lol ________________________________________ danposs86's GTi-6 |
