corsa Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 As discussed on another thread please find below the full details of this superb day,not to be missed. Darlington & District Motor Club Ltd. The Group B Challenge Croft Circuit ? 2006 SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS Welcome to the first running of the Group B Challenge incorporating the Classic Rally Car Challenge. When it was suggested by Mark Lowe that a number of Group B owners were interested in finding out just which was the quickest Group B car, Darlington & District Motor Club grasped the concept with both hands and welcome the opportunity to place these magnificent machines in a competitive environment in front of the public. The Sprint format is the only one which will allow all the owners to compete, no matter whether the car is in original Rally trim or a road car, or whether the driver has held a competition licence previously. Each run will be over 2 laps of the Croft racing circuit which incorporates high speed sections with some technical slower sections, all in all a demanding lap. DDMC is keen to encourage Classic Rally Cars to take part for separate awards. We hope to make this an annual event to showcase what was probably the best era of motorsport.
