Lister-Petter Tyndale 2000 Rally Report
This was the first year that the show boasted a dedicated Auto-Truck section! The weather was extremely kind over the whole weekend, with a clear sky and temperatures in the mid 80's F, tempered bu a welcome cooling wind. Out of the original 20 trucks entered, 17 attended, this was offset by an additional SS3, giving a total of 18. Trevor Clark's LD1 truck attracted much attention, including an interview on Radio Gloucester and a good luck autograph by Fred Dibnah (see gallery). The hot weather took it's toll on the petrol trucks, some of which failed to make it round the display ring. LD2 trucks came to the rescue and performed heavy recovery on several occasions.
