I used to race rallycross back in 2002. the gravel leading onto the circuit used to be so smooth! never ever was a bump like that!

that lotus was built by a friend of mine, mike dresser, its seriously quick, circa 300hp :thumbs up:

i dont think lawrence will ever give up that 6r4! he rolled it one year we were competing up there!

Dorans son has landed on his feet, factory citroen c4 wrc with all the latest stuff, yet old lawrence was right behind him! cant beat a group b 4wd :thumbs up:

***infact just noticed its an ex will gollop 306 he's following not the citroen

I think I was there when the 6r4 rolled. Was it near the end of the gravel section?
