[Rallyst3ve]

Probably get some late entries

Thought Andy Fenwick in the Skoda Octavia WRC was going to enter

At least Mr Kynastons there though been a while since last heard that car on the Mewla 07 and only saw it once then cos it retired

Will have to wait for seeded entry list to be sure of entries.

Kynaston does seem to be having a few reliability problems lately. He did an event in Sligo the other month and did the driveshaft on the first stage. Doesn't bare thinking about the effort of preparing a car and travelling from Exeter just to do half a stage :eek:

Still haven't decided if I'll be at this one. Would imagine that money and time will be the downfall :(

Yeah, Kynaston hit a sheep a corner up from me :( (typical wales)
Best spectator place from last year was on the penultimate stage i think it was. A tight haripin, was great to see some of the cars going arround it, especially the Escort MK2's. Once i get hold of the stage route, i'll look out for some of the classic spectators points.
Fourways is allways a good place to go, but i don't think marshalls allow us in there anymore.

you can go down to fourways,but you've got to get down there before the event starts or park by the german village and walk down as i did on the harry flatters,spectator imformation will be on the epynt motor club web site on 18th august :)

[ryland.j]

[Allyc85]

Last rally I saw was the Somerset Stages so I cant wait for this one!

[MrJan]

Last rally I saw was the Somerset Stages so I cant wait for this one!

Last rally for me too but will probably miss the Mewla :( Going to Bournemouth on Saturday and doing a sprint @ Colerne (near Castle Combe) on the Monday so an Epynt trip would be a bit of a stretch. Shame as I don't think I've got to an Epynt event this year.

[Rallyst3ve]

Mr Jan Yeo
Last rally for me too but will probably miss the Mewla


Can you make it to the Woodpecker on the 30th

[MrJan]

Can you make it to the Woodpecker on the 30th

Too far for me really. Also have a college deadline the week after which could probably do with some attention :S

[306 Cosworth]

2nd rally up on Epynt this month for me, and my 2nd weekend in a row at a rally :laugh: Then got the woodpecker the weekend after that!! :D

[ryland.j]

2nd rally up on Epynt this month for me, and my 2nd weekend in a row at a rally :laugh: Then got the woodpecker the weekend after that!! :D
should be a good event,hope the weather gets better,nothing worse than being up there when it's wet and windy :burnout:

[306 Cosworth]

Gareth Jones might be a late entry in his Impreza WRC S12B to get more seat time for Spain WRC round :D

[Anderton]

Looking at a weather forecast, it should be sunny near Epynt on Sunday.

[Rallyst3ve]

306 Cosworth
Gareth Jones might be a late entry in his Impreza WRC S12B to get more seat time for Spain WRC round :D

That would be class :D :up:

[306 Cosworth]

Melvyn Evans is also a possible late entry in his s11 Impreza, I should be finding out tomorrow if he is or isn't in :)

[Rallyst3ve]

:D Yeah Melvyn Evans and Gareth Jones should be there should be a really great rally there using some sections of road that they havent used for ages down towards the Rifle Ranges near Tirabad so i might check that out ;)

[306 Cosworth]

I now have official confirmation that Garteh Jones will be up there in his S12 :)

[Rallyst3ve]

Been told that Melvyn Evans wont be doing the rally still great entry though :up:

Hopefully Kynastons Audi makes it through the whole event so i can get some decent footage of it for once have you seen his car on the stages before Luke???

[306 Cosworth]

Yes I have but only ever at Brean so I can't wait to see his car up on Epynt :D Should be a great day, Kynastons Audi, Prices 6R4, Jones' S12 WRC and plenty of Darrians :D All we need now is Solloway to put an entry in :D :p :

[Rallyst3ve]

Kynastons Audi does sound pretty immense especially when its going away from you so looking foward to it.
I do prefer the sound of the Peugeot Cosworth though :D i dont think i will ever change my mind on that one ;) :up:

[MrJan]

I'm not so keen on the 306 this year, think it sounded much better last season, far more throatier :D

Here is my video from this year at Porlock: 2008 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWZMQ4A-FWw)
And here is my brother's video from the same place last year: 2007 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46rGNhXDpPI)

The first video is much better if you watch it in high quality :D

Oh and if you don't get to see the Audi it's probably because he is too busy fixing the steering rack on my car to bother with all that rallying lark, quite right too :D

[306 Cosworth]

The 306 sounds better than ever imho :D :D

[Rallyst3ve]

Mr Jan Yeo
I'm not so keen on the 306 this year, think it sounded much better last season

It did have engine problems on the Somerset Stages though

Peugeot Cosworth always sounds immense :p sounds the best on the Wyedean and Sunseeker i think get better sound on those events.

Wey looks like the sun will be out for the MEWLA

[ryland.j]

does anyone have any news on solloway? :p :

[Anderton]

Yes I have but only ever at Brean so I can't wait to see his car up on Epynt :D Should be a great day, Kynastons Audi, Prices 6R4, Jones' S12 WRC and plenty of Darrians :D All we need now is Solloway to put an entry in :D :p :
ALL of those cars are going to be great to see. Is there any confrimation of Melvyn Evans competing?

[306 Cosworth]

Just wait and see on Sunday.

[Allyc85]

So which stages are the best to see as il be up there taking photos. I do seem to remember a jump just off of Dixies corner?

[Anderton]

I think that's the dears leap. Good jump that, the cars do take off. Not really sure what the camera shots would be like though as the masrhalls seem reluctant to let you get too close after a red Escort Mk2 crashed there at the Welsh Rally. "The Triangle" is a pretty good spot, usually go there for one of the stages. It's a little further on down from the dears leap. It's a 3 left, so some of the cars especially the Escorts get really hairy there sometimes. Good fun.

[BGilbert]

does anyone have any news on solloway? :p :
Solloway in, Gareth Jones in. Somw awesome looking cars at scrutineering :) Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow, I will be around and about with my media pass and camera and army style waterproofs, so if you see me, come and say hello.

Solloway is in the MK2 and Jones in the s12 impreza WRC.

[Allyc85]

Well apart from the heavy showers I thought it was a pretty good days rallying and well worth the 5am start! Anybody know what happened to Kynston on stage 10 as I saw him being passed by Jones at the hairpin by Dixies.

Great rally. Shame about Jon Price having to retire though.
Occasional showers did make it quite interesting to watch.
Congrats to Damian Cole though.

[Allyc85]

[MrJan]

Cheers for the photos and videos. I'm really gutted that I couldn't make it as it looks like it was a pretty good day. That F2 Escort looked as if it was flying :up: Surprised we don't see more stuff like that out on the stages more often.

[Allyc85]

I thought I had more but heres my 2 very short videos!

Whining Mk2 Escort http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4b5VajgrrZU

Impreza http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=M3jL8Awe0IA

That F2 Escort was stunning and well worth the years ive waited to see one. The engine seemed to rev to something stupid and I loved the way it wriggled under acceleration :D

[Rallyst3ve]

Great pictures astraracer i like the one of David Mann's Impreza WRC ;)

think the Epynt Challenge has really boosted the entries throughout the year.

Wonder if we'll see a few different cars up there next year as a few seem to be for sale and have heard rumours of certian people gettin new ones

[Allyc85]

Does anybody have any information on the spec of this car?
