BTRDA 75th Anniversary Rallycross Masters
Sunday 24th November 2013
Croft Race Circuit
This page will provide drivers, teams and spectators with all the latest news and event news prior to the BTRDA 75th Anniversary Rallycross event at the Croft Circuit on November 24th.
Regulations and entry forms can be found in the "Regs & Forms" section of the site.
Garages (16) will be allocated on a first come first served basis upon receipt of a VALID entry
Drivers are asked to enter early to help with the organisation for the event, and are reminded that NO entry fee's will be charged until 7 days before the event, 18th November. Plenty of time to get your entry in but also plenty of time to cancel it if you cannot attend.
Interest in the event is high and the BTRDA/DDMC hope all drivers with eligible cars will support the event to celebrate the 75th Anniversary for BTRDA and be a part of a historic event as well as getting a taster of things to come in to 2014.
The event aims to give the competitor, and spectator, close racing, full grids and a quick turn round. Every competitor will get a chance of a Final and all the races will be run without classes, ensuring that 90% of the races start with a full 8 car grid. This format takes the sport back to its heyday when a similar format was used throughout the early years of the British Rallycross GP at Brand Hatch.

Croft Entry
BTRDA 75th Anniversary Rallycross – Croft Circuit – November 24th;
Having received a full 64 car entry two months before the event, Darlington & DMC have decided to take a further 8 entries to make a maximum entry of 72 cars.
Club Chairman and event Secretary, Terry Wright, commented ‘ I always felt that there was a demand for a true clubmens event aimed specifically at the two wheel drive competitor. The entry filling up so quickly has proved this. All we have to do now is provide a slick event to compliment the competitors faith.’
The event is designed to reflect the early days of Rallycross, something the DDMC is familiar with, with races run classless, a quick turn round and everyone in with a chance of an award. Every competitor will have the opportunity of a Final, something started by the late Bill Chesson, and the class awards will be extracted from the overall results.
