Doran / Monster RS200 by Cardy

Graham has asked me to put some pics of the RS200 he's creating

cheers mark for putting those up top man

this is how far ive got and mark has sorted me out the base for my rear spoiler so that is the last piece

Nice work Graham - it takes a lot of balls to tackle such a one off project like this. Fair play to you for having a go.

Looking forward to seeing it finished mate.

Looks good, not a fan of the real one mind you.

cheers david i bought fast ford and it was in there and i thought why not

i had a ixo belga car stripped it lowered it fitted a cage painted inside and then had to make the front and rear splitters

Interesting model - good work!!

I can confirm that Pat Doran was competing at Lydden Hill yesterday, rallycrossing the ex-Kenneth Hansen European Rallycross Championship winning Citroen Xsara. He made it to the Supercar A-Final. So much action happened in such a short space of time I can't confirm the result! Rallycross is the best - so much action and you can see it all happening!! Even if you can't remember everything about it the following day!

If it was between a rally or rallycross I would watch rallycross all the time

I'm positive this is an often repeated debate, and this thread is possibly the wrong place to do it, but I agree with you totally Mark - rallycross has everything rallying and racing has but it's altogether at one single spectator friendly venue!

I went to loads of meetings in the late 80s and early 90s when the Group B 'monsters' ruled the roost, and they were some of, if not THE, most competitive events that I have ever seen.

British rallycross always seems to have struggle to live up to those days.

I really must 'push on' with my own rallycross model projects - watch this space!

Now that looks great so far Graham. If you fancy making another i'd be up for one

No probs Graham - I always like seeing a bit of ingenuity and something different from the norm.

Great project Graham.
Looking great.

I'm watching with interest!!

Guys,

Thinking of 'watching with interest'.... the rallycross meeting at Lydden last Saturday is due to be televised next weekend on the 'Motors' channel and then a few weeks later on Channel 4 in their early hours of Sunday morning slot, about 7.00 ish.

Keep 'em peeled - the action was superb. Close racing, some real 'heart-in-mouth' moments too. As soon as anyone spots the time on terrestial C4, please let us all know!

Cheers, Steve

nice job. great model to build. looking good.

Dear All,

Given there's some interest in rallycross on this thread (and without wishing to hijack it), please find a link to a video of last Saturday's action at Lydden Hill.

The video was taken and edited by my old school chum Jason's son, James. I think he's done a great job, although there's music over the proper soundtrack in the most part. Still well worth the watch, gives you a taste of the action.

Cheers, Steve

Enjoyed that

Thats really really cool! Top Job, cant wait to see the finished product.

just waiting for the rear spoiler from mark lowe

Something to watch out for!

The recent opening round of the british Rallycross Championship from Lydden Hill is on Channel 4 on Saturday, 7.25 -7.55am.

Coincidentally, there is a European rallycross meeting at Lydden over the Easter weekend - check the internet for dates and times - but this shoud be an excellent, action-packed event with the best of the European competitors fighting it out over here along with the home-grown talent.

Shame I can't get there myself, but, set your recorders now!! Steve

Live on Monday on Motors

Thanks Mark. That's great news and frustrating news in equal doses. Who do I know who has Sky?!

Hope that some highlights make their way to Channel 4! Cheers, Steve
