Sept 222007 RALLYDAY, CASTLE COMBE, WILTSHIREJust as the weather is turning even worse and the circuit chaps are packing up for a winter of testing, the rally lads man up and get stuck in. So, if you go slightly weak-kneed at the sound of anti-lag and think cars without handbrakes aren’t proper cars, then this is the event for you. The Legend that is Hannu Mikola will be making a flying (Flying Finn – geddit?) visit, the Rallycross Supercars will be doing a no doubt flame-spitting demonstration, and the Aston Martin Rally GT will also be putting in a rare, slightly upper-class appearance, along with all the usual favourites.
