Bump. Spectators mean demand and we may be back next year. Kids races 9:30 on. Adults after lunch.

Well that’s a pretty cool venue! Not too techy, but I could imagine in the wet or even just on the fresh grass in the morning it would have been a bit of a slog!

It’s a ridiculous thing to comment on, but the taping of the course was really good. Must have taken a bloody age! Corners with lines just where you needed and the chicane up at the top  - so good!

Mega organisation job by all involved, thanks! The cheer squad was so strong I almost felt like my mid pack finish was something to celebrate! XD

Thanks for the comments. I'll pass them on to the organiser. We had a great response . Even the mayor is already asking  for a repeat. The lines will repair themselves in a few weeks or less.  It was fun heckling/cheering/lying. Got my old ARP rattle out to add to it. First Aid corner (far side of the field with a fast drop in) was harmless. Took us a day to lay it out plus a bit in the morning but in came down in an hour with two Land Rovers to help. Same time, same place last year.

Lots of pics on the RDFCC Facebook page now and the website soon.
