Offroading In Sussex

If we don’t want cars on the road we sure as damn don’t want them on the downs. With this in mind reACTION organised an action against the Sussex leg of the Eurochallenge Onyx Championship on August the 19th. 136, 4 wheel drive offroaders intent on ripping the downs to shreds were confronted by around 50 activists from Lewes & Brighton. Route flags were pulled out, the racetrack was invaded and a gate was blockaded. This stopped them accessing half of their track. Some drivers had come all the way from France, Holland, Belgium and Germany. A crowd shouting 'scum' at them on the finish line was not to their liking. With their racing ruined and half of the area due to be destroyed saved, they packed up.
