well that link dont work, and i cant get to it through the car club either. I wouldnt mind going to that actually, if i can find out a bit more info!.

I went last year, it was ok, but felt that I was a little too far from the action.

I think there are problems with the website as I cant get in now either. I didn't go last year but thought i'd give it a go, so can't comment. I know first competitive stage is 11am on Saturday, and there are a few decent cars about - 6R4, WRC's, Darrians, that kind of thing.

It was a good event. Shame Higgins got 'taken out' on the first stage, and they could've run a few more stages, but it was well organised and enjoyable. I hope to have some pictures later in the week. Markko Martin was there, although not competing, but good to see him.

What happened with Higgins?

there were a couple of splits/merge's, as usual on a single venue event, and he caught a Subaru lower down the field. From what I understand, the Subaru driver indicated and pulled out of the way, and then as Higgins was coming passed the Subaru driver pulled back out on him and side swiped him, putting the Aston Martin out for the day. Higgins was furious apparently.

I'll hopefully have some pictures from the Saturday of the event up over the weekend.

Thank you

It's a good event, although I think they could squeeze a few more stages in. Best thing to do is volunteer to Marshal if you arent involved in any other capacity, then you can camp on site. From purely a spectators point of view, it didn't look like you could get very close to the action.
