Electric BRX Media Day
02nd May 2021
The 2020 5 Nations BRX series was severely curtailed due to the COVID pandemic, ultimately only a couple of rounds possible, the first of which witnessed Sir Chris Hoy throw a Citreon C4 around the circuit and John McGuinness, King of the Hill, an RX 150 buggy.
The 2021 media day at Lydden Hill, coupled with an open practice session saw the return of Sir Chris Hoy, together with triple British Touring Car Champion Matt Neal, Tom Onslow - Cole, Liam Doran, and not inconsiderable interest in the STARD ERX, electric rallycross car.
With the suggestion the STARD ERX may feature Sir Chris Hoy at the wheel for certain races during the 2021 season, and knowing the BRX series has incorporated Electic cars into the Supercar category would certainly make for an interesting challenge.
Manfred Stohl of STARD Austria took several members of the media for laps around the circuit before the vehicle was turned over to Chris Hoy and Matt Neal, both of whom had nothing but positives to suggest about the experience. It will be interesting to see how things unfurl on race day with the season opener at Lydden Hill on 29th May.
