Steve Hiatt Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Ian Rochelle won the International class, pretty impressive for someone who has only been racing a couple of years. He was only 10 minutes behind Hugh Haines after four and a half hours racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 If its on next year I will be entering I'm still gutted about not being able to compete. Shame to hear it was poorly attended but its the same old same old..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I went to watch and say hello to a few peeps. Might add a few pics later when i get round to grabbing them off the camera. Hugh was flying whenever I seen him go past. Only 10 mins behind was good going given the weight/power differences. From those drivers/co-drivers I spoke to it seemed that the course was good and fast, maybe even good and fast enough to tempt some of them to race in the event next year (assuming it runs) rather than pop across teh channel all the time.

Mark90 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 A few pics of some of the 'national' runners, didn't take many pics as camera mainly stayed in it's case out of the rain. I heard that Pete Rowe was having fuel problems, getting in enough fuel to last a lap was the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hiatt Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I was hoping he would win in a war of attrition but most cars seemed reliable. Was it good to watch, Mark? I was put off by what seemed like quite restricted access to the site according to Marches website, so I stayed at home and worked on the car.

Mark90 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Unusually for Pete he had reliability problems, seeing him sit out second half of saturday, blown cv I think. Spectating wasn't great, partially due to the small number of runners (and the weather ), although the bikes/quads added some interest that you don't get with the hill rallies. It wasn't as restrictive as the website seemed to suggest, access was allowed further into the from the main spectator areas, would be difficult to stop access totally as the footpaths/bridlewasy through the forest weren't closed But the marshalling was good, ie don't act like a pillock and stand in the run out areas and they didn't give any grief. Maybe blagging a media pass helped too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
