The MSA British Rallycross Championship held at Lydden Hill on 16th March 2013
I have wanted to visit Lydden Hill circuit for a long time, but clashes with other events have always got in the way. Therefore once I saw this event advertised, I booked it up in my diary straightaway.
Lydden Hill circuit is situated in a very picturesque part of Kent, just off the A2 not far from Canterbury. I read somewhere that Lydden Hill is the shortest racetrack in the UK. The circuit is entered by a small lane just off the London bound carriageway of the A2. The entrance booths are immediately in front of the new arrivals and we found that we could either park up behind the paddock area or on a banked field from which you can view most of the track from the comfort of your own car. We elected to park up by the track overlooking the Dover Slope.
The track is draped into a shallow valley, with the highest point at the hairpin North Bend before dropping back down the the valley floor. The track is small, you can easily walk around the whole perimeter in less than twenty minutes, which would have been a delightful experience on most days, however this Saturday wasn't one of these. The strength of the wind made even opening the car door a challenge, but once combined with constant heavy showers, the ice cold rain coming horizontally at you for most of the day was particularly unpleasant.
At least we were able to take cover in the car during the worst of the weather. We felt sorry for the driver of a car which span out in the main grass area in front of the Dover Slope. His car was well away from the track so the organisers had obviously deemed it to be safe to be left until the end of the session before sending the recovery truck. Unfortunately for the poor driver, this meant that he had to stand out in the storm at the nearest Marshall station without any shelter or even a coat.
This wasn't the only weather induced problem. Everything got so wet in the morning that I found that the little joystick control on my 7D camera stopped working, so I was unable to adjust the focus point selection for the rest of the day. Luckily once it was well and truly dried out, it started working again the following day.
The actual racing seemed to be very suited to these miserable conditions. Rallycross is a fast, furious event with each race held over three short laps and consisting at grids of up to half a dozen cars. Each race pitches a selection of equal performance cars together, which ensures that most of the races are fiercely competed right up to the flag. The fact that each driver has to take a joker lap, once in each race, which involved taking Pilgrims bend before returning to the loose surface part of the track, means that you only know the likely finishing order, once everyone is on the final part of the last lap.
The positive parts of the day.
The car control displayed by the drivers; very impressive.
The speed generated by the higher powered cars around the whole lap was; very impressive.
The preparation and of the sophistication of the cars; very impressive
The atmosphere around the circuit and in the paddock was very friendly and welcoming.
The negatives of the day
The weather, the weather and the weather.
The lack of information, the programme didn't have a running order or any timings so we were uncertain as to what was actually on track at any point, didn't know whether there was a lunch break and wasn't even sure as to when the last race was scheduled for. This problem was not helped by the lack of any PA announcements or commentary for most of the day.
Would I attend another event at Lydden Hill? Yes, absolutely, but next time I will check the weather forecast first.

The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.
