British RX Round 5 – Lydden Hill. It was wet, wet, wet and I’m not referring to your mums favorite 80’s pop group either.

Gary Simpson in the Supernationals, more boat skill required than driving!

British RX Round 5 – Lydden Hill. It was quite possibly the wettest rallycross event in recent memory, even wetter than the European round 2 years ago! It was great weather for ducks, which suited me just fine 🙂

One last confession. I feel that I need to come clean about an increasing guilty pleasure of mine. Taking pictures of the Retro Porsche 911 of Barry Stewart. I will seek professional help…. But hey I’m an addict and rallycross is my drug 🙂
