Back in the Golden era of Rallying in the 70s.We did selectives throughout the Forest of Bowland at night and many times on snow and ice, and without pacenotes. Quicker than this lot.
Ye was gonna post the same. Is there a rule that says the faster the car you hire, the less ability you must have to do a handbrake turn. Some of them are losing 10 secs for each hairpin, but they spend 5k hiring the fastest car. So still finish mid pack. ffs!
@@carcontrolcommitmentsome of them reminded me of the chavtastic corsas & golfs usually found in a McDonalds car park, yanno those who see a bmw drifting a roundabout then think 'I can do that, watch this' & completely fail. The rally was abit like that, the lower championship classes/one off drivers trying to keep up with the 'big guns' in the british championship, alot kept over driving the car trying to keep up & inevitably binned it!
It was an icy freezing cold day with mud all over a slick tarmac road mate, hardly no skill there; besides it was literally part of the british rally championship, i doubt they let any old joe into that
@@Hodgyboythey do, they had the british championship regulars who from what we saw stayed composed, fast and in control. We then had those doing it as a 1 off or taking part in a lower clubman championship in R5/rally2 cars attempting to keep up with the british championship guys and over driving the cars big time! Still more skilled than il ever be & it was a good event to watch, the organisers hit it out the park with everything that went on to keep the rally going, they're the real heroes of the day!
@@maybenot6075 Fair enough I guess so. Anyway did you know what that huge crash was on stage 2 at around marshal post 7? Apparently he got airlifted and that caused huge delays

That first bend is a tricky one it's lot tighter and steeper than it looks on video. You got some great footage out there today 🚙💨💨
Thanks 👍
What stage is it on? I’d love to go watch it from there next time!
Great video. Tricky hairpin. Must be the stages when Keith Cronin lost his handbrake
Some great footage there including the Stone ditch incident
He might finish the event without incident in the next few years 😂 it was treacherous from start to finish how rallying should be!
Great spot to watch, good entry too .
Good video mate 😃👌
Thanks 👍
Wow --Looks challenging.

The hairpin turn isn’t a flat hairpin it’s steep uphill. Not a basic corner at all.
Certainly many Fiestas .... msport must do ok at home!
Which stage was this?
Ss3 and ss8
These lot Make pro rally drivers look like gods. Plenty of money, not much talent.
Not really, tough corner, first guy Chris Ingram 2019 European Champion messed up it’s a greasy wet corner uphill not that easy mate
Totally embarrassing the lot of them , all the gear to much money and can't drive .
