Since Clacton there have been a splurge of closed road events, ther was even supposed to be one near my neck of the woods in Stevenage this ears and at least 4 or 5 have been run in the past year at different venues.

It seems where there is a will there is a way, I eman who would ever think that a rally could be held within 40 odd miles of London at the best of times, elt alone now.
I hope I'm wrong! The more closed road events the better as far as I'm concerned - especially down in the south where we've been losing venues.

They're not for everyone, but as you say they tend to run when there's not a lot else going on - although Lydden ran a winter rallycross series last winter so that's something else to watch during the off season - hopefully they'll run that again this year (the 'proper' season is truncated so competitors might well be up for a winter series).
