That looks awesome. If I wasn't competing, I'd book myself a drive!

Dammit, I'm away that weekend!
I did a session last time the Swifts were at Lydden and left with a massive smile on my face. Had been planning to have another go, will have to wait until the next time they are down there. |

I didn't realise you were out in a Swift at Lydden. Did you overtake either the red or yellow 205??

* Thats how I remember it, anyway. As long as I've been watching at Lydden I have wondered what the rallycross track was like to drive. Foolishly I only booked the one session though: I got such a kick out of doing a few laps I was desperate to go out again! |

To anyone who has had a go, how many laps/hw much time do you get for one session?
Am presuming this being done at Gwynnes rallyschool? |

The half day and full day courses obviously got more seat time, although they cost more I'd imagine they'd be much better value for money. Quote:

Might be tempted to do a couple of sessions to stop and have a think!
But it would be better on a proper rallycross track sadly. Shame they cant hire one for this, but its their own land so fair enough |

Anyway, back on topic. They do look really fun! I had a big old estate that I sold and replaced with a Megane. It's so much more fun to drive! I had a Swift hire car that I didn't want to give back. |

They ran these sessions at Lydden earlier in the year (Swifts + rallycross testing) so I'd expect them to do it again next year. I guess using the rally school makes sense as they don't need to hire a venue and it's more central than using Lydden.

I think if I am gonna have a go I would rather have a go on a proper track, than some airfield in the middle of nowhere!
Save it til next time hopefully |
