Special Thanks to WorldRallySpec for the info

Vaucluse Raceway will be hosting the top contenders in the British RallyCross championship at our International RallyCross event on the last weekend in November this year. There will be six 600bhp 4WDSuperCars here from the UK and Ireland for the November event along with a few 2-Litre Super Modified cars. The event in November is a warm-up to a 3-event RallyCross season at Vaucluse Raceway in 2007 ending with an international event on the first weekend in December and a World Final planned for 2008 with 40 competitors from England, Ireland, Holland, Finland and France.

The vehicle regulations will be the same as for our RallySprint events, which are now the same as the BRC 2007 - 2009 regulations with the exception that VR does not divide M8 into two seperate classes. The UK SuperCars will run in their own class for cars that weigh 1200Kgs and have 45mm restrictors and 8" wheels. The SuperCar class is open to Bajan competitors who meet these regulations.

This event is now carded for November 25th. Colin McRae might make an appearance and perhaps drive as well! Ticket sales for this event have been brisk with 33,000 sold so far according to Christian Scherr in Barbados who is usually our Bajan host.

Press Release

RALLYCROSS COMES TO BARBADOS
Spectacular action on the cards at Vaucluse

Some of the world's most exciting competition cars will arrive in the island
next month, when the Vaucluse Raceway Motor Sport Club (VR MSC) stages the
inaugural Barbados Rallycross International on Saturday, November 25. Unlike
RallySprint, for which the venue has so far been used, rallycross features
eight- or 10-car races on a mix of sealed and loose surfaces.

Last year's Champion Pat Doran will lead a group of the UK's top drivers
from the Supercar class of the British Rallycross Championship; with
approaching twice the horsepower of a World Rally Car, 50 per cent more
torque and carrying around two-thirds of the weight, the four-wheel-drive
rallycross supercars are among the most spectacular machines in motor sport.
Doran's own Ford Fiesta ST has a two-litre Cosworth engine, developing
540bhp and 600 lbs ft of torque, which can power it from standstill to 60mph
in 1.9 seconds and on to 100mph in 5.3secs; it has a top speed of 150mph.
In common with the RallySprint events at VRW this year, the Barbados
Rallycross International will be run under floodlights; practice will start
at 5.00pm on Friday, November 24, while Saturday's race action is slated for
a 3.00pm start, finishing by the VR MSC's self-imposed deadline of 10.00pm.
Doran visited this year's Barbados Rally Carnival as a guest of the VR MSC
to advise on the feasibility of using VRW for rallycross events; to conduct
further research, VR MSC chairman Greg Cozier travelled to the UK as Doran's
guest to watch a round of the British championship.

Cozier said: "These cars are awesome - even Colin McRae reckons a rallycross
supercar is the most exciting car he has ever driven! Although the sport is
well-established in Europe, it is new to the Caribbean, and I believe will
spark a great deal of interest."

Cozier continued: "We have re-configured Vaucluse to allow for side-by-side
racing by moving the lane-dividers to the inside edge, more than doubling
the width of the track. It is at least 11 metres wide - much wider in places
- and is a mixture of surfaces, two-thirds sealed and one-third smooth clay.
"I am very grateful to Pat Doran for his help with this project - he was
very enthusiastic and spent many hours looking at our original ideas; thanks
to his expertise, we now have an even better layout than we had planned
ourselves. He reckoned it could be one of the best rallycross tracks in the
world - I hope it will live up to his high expectations when he returns in
November!"

The starting grid has been marked out on the familiar RallySprint start pad
and the early part of the lap follows the usual line; the major change comes
around half-way along the straight below the northern spectator area, where
cars will turn right, heading almost due south, cutting out the bridge. Cars
will rejoin the traditional RallySprint track just south of the bridge, then
follow the usual line through the southern hairpin, sweeping north back to
the start/finish line. The lap distance is eight-tenths of a mile.
Rallycross will not replace RallySprint at VRW, as Cozier explains: "We will
continue to organise three RallySprint events in the first half of the year,
ending with our Barbados Rally Carnival International. We will then
re-configure the track and organise three Rallycross events, ending with the
Rallycross International on Independence weekend. These events will
constitute two separate seasons, which may be adjusted based on driver,
spectator or sponsor demand."

A maximum of three qualifying heats will be run, in the ascending order of
Groups, building the excitement from the slower cars right up to the invited
Supercars. A maximum of 10 cars will start each six-lap heat, with grid
positions allocated randomly. Drivers earn points based on their finishing
positions in each heat - one point for first place, two for second and so
forth - and the driver with the lowest score will start the Group final from
pole position. Once all the Group heats are completed, the finals will be
run; a maximum of eight cars will start in the Group finals, which will run
for eight laps.

In addition to the invited Supercars from Britain, there will be races for
all the regular VR MSC Groups; in any instances of Groups being
undersubscribed, they will be merge
