Sorry for a late reply, but what license do you have? If it's a non-race national A license you can race in the MSA super-modified class. The only limitation in the super-modified class is that it must be 2WD (Either FWD or RWD), apart from that, you can have anything you want. There are other sub categories in the super-modified class too, up to 1600cc and over 1601cc, plus an overall category too! The technical regs can be found here http://www.lyddenracecircuit.co.uk/pdf_files/2010_SuperModified_FINAL.pdf

Regarding the supercar class, like before, you need a minimum of a non-race national A license. The leading cars in this class can cost a lot of money £100k+ but there are a few self build cars too. One of these cars is driven by Gareth Wood, he drives a 400bhp Subaru Impreza! Ok its a few BHP less than the top flight cars (About 150 - 200bhp less) but if it's been raining he has been known to be in the top three in the A Final. Technical regs for the super class can be found here http://www.lyddenracecircuit.co.uk/pdf_files/2010_Supercar_FINAL.pdf . There is also a set of regs for a spaceframe supercar that can be found here http://www.lyddenracecircuit.co.uk/pdf_files/2010_Spaceframe_Supercar_FINAL.pdf

The best bet would probably for you to come along to an event and have a chat with the drivers, you'll find they are like one big family!

I hope this helps

Sorry for a late reply, but what license do you have? If it's a non-race national B license you can only race in the BTRDA (Clubmans) super-modified class. The only limitation in the super-modified class is that it must be 2WD (Either FWD or RWD), apart from that, you can have anything you want. There are other sub categories in the super-modified class too, up to 1600cc and over 1601cc, plus an overall category too! The regs for the super-mods can be found here http://www.lyddenracecircuit.co.uk/pdf_files/2010_SuperModified_FINAL.pdf the championship regs can be found here http://www.lyddenracecircuit.co.uk/pdf_files/BTRDA_2010.pdf

The BTRDA championship is only open for 2WD cars only, no supercars!

I hope this helps

If there are any drivers who aren't driving at Blyton would like to see the marshals perspective of rallycross, then contact me!

I'm sure all will be revealed shortly - sounds interesting though

The Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship returns to Blyton on Sunday (September 12) for its seventh and penultimate event of the year with the title battle coming to the boil after reigning champion Pat Doran (Winkleigh) gained his second event win of the year in round six, moving ahead of Andy Grant (Barnstaple) to take the points lead.

Doran’s victory has changed the face of the championship, Grant had led the series since round three at Blyton in June where he finished third – behind Doran. After many years racing an Escort Cosworth, Grant moved to a newer Focus Supercar this year and has enjoyed his most successful season to date. Starting this weekend’s event at Blyton still holding second place in the championship, Grant now needs to win an event to keep his title hopes alive.

The 2010 Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship has been extraordinarily competitive; the first five events each producing a different winner and Doran the first double winner in round six.

Already a winner this year, Andy Scott (Dumfries) also needs a victory to retain any chance of challenging for the title, and had been on course to win at Lydden in round six until a puncture forced him to slow and allowed Doran to pass and take the win.

Doran, Grant and Scott now occupy the top three places in the championship, fourth placed David Binks (Newcastle upon Tyne) also still in the title hunt and desperate to shrug off the technical problems that have halted his Ford Fiesta Supercar in each of the last two championship rounds.

Lincolnshire racer chasing SuperModified stars

The championship’s SuperModified class for two-wheel drive cars is also closely contested this year. Sussex-based motor sport engineer Julian Godfrey (Heathfield) leads the class in his two-litre Fiesta but has been worked hard by the 2.5-litre rear-drive version of the Fiesta driven by Mike Howlin (Haverfordwest). Currently third in the class battle, but returning to the scene of his win in round three of the championship, Jamie Lea (Wrexham) will again be a good bet for victory on the fast track in his turbocharged Toyota MR2.

Sixth place in the SuperModified class is held by Lincoln garage proprietor Gary Dixon who has raced in only three events so far this year, making it into the A final in each of them and galloping quickly up the championship order. Racing his familiar Vauxhall Astra GTE, Dixon will make the short trip to his local track at Blyton hoping to maintain his good form and make further progress in the title race.

Full supporting programme

The Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship has a full programme of supporting events, including the RX150 championship for ‘off-road buggies’ and the Suzuki Swift Sport Championship, a new for 2010 one-make series for 1600cc Suzuki Swifts that is fast becoming a favourite with fans and competitors alike as it has produced close racing at every event.

The event also includes the BTRDA Clubmans Rallycross Championship with a full range of classes including Junior Rallycross for competitors of 14 to 16-years-old.

Round seven venue change

The seventh round of the Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship, scheduled to take place at Mallory Park on September 12 has been moved to the Blyton venue in Lincolnshire but will retain its original date. The move has been made to allow a programme of work on the track at Mallory Park to be carried out earlier than initially planned. Blyton hosted round three of the British championship, the successful Night Race event, in June.

How do we register for marshalling? we normally do rally marshalling but have done rallycross at Blyton last year.

Just had a Facebook invite to "New Years Rallycross Masters" at Lydden Hill on Monday 3rd January.

I'm pretty sure this date was the original date for the LHMC Winter Rallycross, so I wonder if this is the Winter Rallycross rebranded or perhaps something bigger?...

...and one have any info?
