The deep chicane on the dragsters gravel road should not be shortcut - there are some big rocks hidden in the grass if the cuts are too large. Braking for the corner to the end of the service area is interesting - it\'s a tight 90 left with braking as you go around the bend... The area after the rally school is very broken tarmac - keep wide and the surface is better. As you approach the chicane prior to the pylon, beware - you have to brake before the corner. Running wide on the following corner and there is a deep ditch - perfect for rolling a car. Down the "Chalk Road - Keep to one side of the road, it\'s smoother. Beware of the drain cover at the end of the road, though I think it has now been fixed down. Braking for the end of the barn is always slippery, no-one knows why... Going the other way, braking is interesting for the pylon - how much grip is there? Don't overshoot, there's a lake behind those bushes! The chicanes on the drag return road are always slippery as well - and the speeds are high on entry... Finally, if the grass link road is being used, keep the revs down and the gears high - much quicker way! information kindly provided by Choccybob (6th Nov 2007) When approaching the general area of the rally always look for and follow the GREEN or ORANGE ARROWS.
