The inaugral Silverstone Rallycross meeting was Round 1 of the MSA British Rallycross Championship 2018. It was clearly always going to be a dress rehearsal for the upcoming Speedmachine British World RX meeting in a couple of months, and that is all I am going to say about it!

If you want a race report head over to www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk here I am just going to show a few of my favorite frames from the day. Which was quite possibly the coldest I have ever been covering rallycross and possibly any other sport for that matter! I heard afterwards that with the windchill it was minus 7!
