Looking forward to it, lets hope the weather is fine. As mentioned in a previous posting, those of you who have not been to Lydden for a while will
see some great improvements now that Rally X driver Pat Doran has got the lease.

Anyone filming this one? 
I really enjoy the videos you guys have posted. Best racing Ive seen in a while. Wish I could be there in person but it's a little too far
away.
Cheers.

Hi as usual will try and get the videos of both races. Lyden usually gives good racing and scraps. And with one 18min and one 28min race for the
locosts there is sure to be some good racing. That or they will all be too kn#ckered and give up. But they should be alright with the adrenaline
flowing.
Cheers Matt

Hi unfortunately no videos from Lyden from us. Couldn't get a form to fill in to allow camera use on the Saturday. Although i know others did.
And Sundays videos would have lasted all of 30 seconds with the snow coming down and covering the lenses.
Did anyone else get some footage of sat or sun.
Cheers Matt

I have some footage from the heat on Saturday & the final on Sunday. Both near the back of the grid & sunday is only about 5 laps as the lens
filled up with ice. I only lasted a couple more laps myself as I had inadvertantly closed all the vents on the helmet and had to run with the visor
cracked open half an inch. every time i wiped the outside of the visor i closed it and when I opened it to clear the inside I got snow & sleet on
my glasses. as I was getting to the point where I was going to struggle to see the faster guys coming up to lap me I thought better and retired. A
dissapointing end to an excellent weekend.
Will post the footage as soon as i can

Glasses are rubbish. Contact lenses for you young man.
Two meetings and not one question so far..................................
The only guys to ask me for advice at Lydden was Scott Mittel and his Dad.
I therefore take full responsibility for Scott's result ;-)

Thanks for posting Rich. Looks like fun.
Do these cars usually survive little forays into the dirt w/o bent parts?
