The entry list promised an eclectic mix of machinery. From the obligatory Mk 1 & 2 Escorts through to a brace of Ferrari 308’s and even a few Nissan Micra’s. This meant there was always something interesting to watch on the stages or in the paddock. The rally was to be run over 8 stages totaling approximately 45 miles and utilised the Brands Hatch Indy circuit, main pits and paddock area and some off-road sections. It did seem odd watching cars running the wrong way round the track and racing through areas that normally have a 5mph speed limit. All in all it was a great day and I would recommend attending, but take your waterproofs.
