CARRALLYBRITISH RALLYCROSS

Isn’t motorsport terribly technical these days? It’s all launch control this, KERS that. Whatever happened to getting a family hatchback, dropping a big engine in it, strapping an inexplicably large spoiler to the back and just hooning around a muddy field with five or six of your mates? Thankfully, the British Rallycross Championship is here to do just that. Fans old enough to remember the sport first time round will no doubt get all misty eyed at the thought of Ford RS200s and Metro 6R4s screaming their way between tyre barriers and mud banks. Amazingly, they’re still a popular choice in the supercar category 20 years on, joined by modern day WRC machines tuned to develop 550bhp or so. Crowds flocked to see Rallycross' resurgence in 2008 and this year promises to be just as action-packed.

Best bit: 80's Group B proving it's still young at heart.
