redrodant Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 If this years events are half as good as last years it's gona be brilliant , This Midlands/leicestershire based Challenge gives the more novice teams a chance to compete alongside more experianced crews, but always a very friendly enviroment. Some exelent venues too, have a look on you tube. or googel LRS Challenge and any round 1/6. Limated spaces avalable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCL Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Great to see so many looking at these dates . The web site has only been up a couple of days and already 4 teams booked in for the first event in march, this before christmas as well. If this keeps up we should have a good turn out next year.

All comments welcome. We did this series last year (the blue Range Rover if you watch the LRS videos on youtube) it is good fun and very friendly, certainly a good place to start, we'd reccomend it and are in fact planning to do the series again next year. Hope to see you there!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All comments welcome. Yes this would be a good place to start, there ia always someone around to help and advise if u want it, or you can just get on with it on your owne, there is always a real mix of punches, mud, slopes, axle twisters, to keep everyone happy, also there is a set of guidlines to which the event is run/set out to, Just to keep things sensable and safe, We dont to huge vertical drops, or driving over and along cliff's,or roof deep water ,we dont need too ;)We leave that to other Challenges. Look at the videos on u tube, to get an idea of what you are letting yourself, in for . A word of Worning, YOU WILL END UP SCRATCHING and DENTING ur motor, but will enjoy doing it so much ull want to stick one on the rear as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCL Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi all For any one that has not looked at the web site this is now 50% booked already. There seems to be a good cross section of abilities from class 1 to class 3 , so hopefully the newer less experienced drivers will pick up a thing or too from the old hands. Still 11 weeks to go and it looks like this could be a great season for the sport with this level of support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
