Nice pics. Been to rallycross events at Lydden myself and had a brilliant day out each time ;)

Cheers for putting up the photos looks like a great day. The British championships are on the bank hol monday 25th May. More rallycross at the bhp performance show but don't think its any championship, probably more demo.

Looking forward to the lyddenhill experience. What's it like getting in and out of Lyddenhill? Is it well directed traffic wise or a free for all?

Getting into Lydden Hill is dead easy. It's right on a junction of the A2 between Canterbury and Dover. Getting out is like any event. If you stay to the end you will be in a queue ;)

Nice photos mate, it was a really good day out on Monday. The last two races of the day were made a bit more special as Murray Walker was the live commentator!

Nice photos there, looks like a great day out! Looking forward to the British ones in May.

Am I all on my lonesome in thinking Murray Walker is a silly old goat who should finally retire and stop sodding up commentary? :rolleyes:

Yes. He did retire from TV commentary after a few good commentary mess ups though!!
