As the MSA Toyo Tires British Rallycross Championship nears the sharp end. The best British rallycross drivers headed to beautiful Lydden Hill for the second time this year. This year is perhaps the closest championship race of recent years. As usual I spent my whole day rushing around weighed down by cameras! This isn’t supposed to be a race report. If you want that head over to www.thecheckeredflag.com where Megan has written a great race report. If its championship standings you want then head to the championship website www.rallycrossbrx.com. I’m just going to post a few of my favourite pictures some are for clients some I just like!

Albatecs Mark Higgns took the supercar honors

Action was fast and furious all day and pretty much every race had door to door action. Not only that the crowd was particularly large which was great to see.

In conclusion, have you ever wondered what it takes to be a top RX driver? Ask Tristan Ovenden who has had a string of perfect weekends this season. However, best not bother him when he looks like this.
