Hasn't Bardy got one of the old Doran Fiesta's available for hire? Might have imagined that. Maybe somebody local using it?

How many cars has Bardy still got? Does he still have Evans Astra there? Any of George Traceys cars still with Bardy?

Kev was my first thought as well. Would be great if it was him as it's been a long wait for that car to hit the track!

The ex-Binks Mk.6 Fiesta? I wondered what had happened to that, as I remember someone on here posting that Bardy had bought it ages ago, but I haven't seen any mention of the car since.

Another Scooby joins the Supercar Grid at Croft..

So here we have it, "Gymkhana Grid European Gauntlet competitor" Dmitrij Sribnyj, http://www.soprabanking.com/ will be joining the Supercar Grid at Croft this Sunday. The car is currently being made into "Rallycross" spec for the event and pushes out around 340bhp.

This is a "test" event for Dmitrij Sribnyj Scoobyclinic Racing before he has a full assault on the 2015 Clubman Supercar Championship.

Fantastic to have another Supercar on the grid, another "new" driver to the BTRDA Championship.

Latest entry list here;

Seen Dmitrij driving a few times over the last few years and he's pretty handy in a Scoob.

Not sure how well the car will fare against the other Supercars, but should be fun to watch!

Lance Foster maybe? He's local and I was surprised not to see his name on the entry. Having said that the Mini had a shunt at the GP so it may be out of action. The Bellerby's are also local, maybe Paige getting some extra track time in the Exige? Stuart Emery but a long journey for him again after the GP and also didn't the car have issues at the GP? Marty Hawkes is another who is nearby. Paul Swift did the event as a one off last year in his rally spec MK2 Escort and won the event. Could be him, although I think that was a one off outing. Mike Boark another local who usually runs at Croft.

I'm sure someone mentioned a while back that Bill Watson might run his RS200 replica? That would fall under the Super Modified, wouldn't it?

Is that in the Pug? I thought you were getting rid of that any going into the Swifts?

My brothers bought the swift and as the pug didn't sell decided to stick with it and learn how to tame it so hopefully with the upgraded clutch and gearbox and once i can get the front suspension changed to handle the power then i should be getting nearer to the front of the pack

Cool. I imagine the Pug is a lot more fun to drive - hopefully the new clutch and gearbox will give you the reliability as well.

Looking forward to this. Will be there in the afternoon, all day will be too much for the kids. Just hope the weather God's are with us. Looking reasonable for the afternoon at least.

A great day, my first time at croft , the event was very well organised , shame that I had a dnf in the mini final (bad connection on a battery lead/kill switch) Still didn't spoil the day though, all part of the learning curve

Was only there for 3 hours in the afternoon. Some really good racing and thoroughly enjoyed it as did my 4 year old and my two nephews. As I had the three of them with me and all the clutter that goes with them I didn't manage to walk round the paddock, which I missed but you can't have everything. Looked to be a good size crowd in, I was nearly at the end of the runway when we parked at lunchtime.

Another great days racing from all the classes, tho in the finials sum of the moves were a bit questionable at times.
Was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and there seamed like there was more people there watching than there was for the finial round of the British Championship 4 weeks ago.
Everyone involved should be very proud n happy with how things went.

Here's my pics n vid from the days action:

Really enjoyable weekend up at Croft. Great atmosphere at the track and some really good racing yesterday. Most surprising appearance of the day was the sun, was actually pretty pleasant for most of the day: not what I was expecting at all!

Be interested to read comments from those who were at the GP as well: the stands certainly looked busier there yesterday then it looked on the GP livestream (though I appreciate the weather is likely to have been a significant factor).

Took some pictures, will post up a link once they are sorted and uploaded!

Great video. Well done to everybody who organised this, really good meeting. Caught something on the tannoy about next years championship. The kids were all talking to me at the same time so I couldn't quite catch it. Sounded like 7 events, Pembrey x 4, Blyton x 2 and Croft I think. I'll let those more in the know furnish us with the correct info.
