Stupid question - how many of the cars here will be the same as were at the Rallycross event this past weekend?

The other 45 or so are cars who have competed in the 2014 BTRDA Championship, lots of new SuperModified, Production and Supercar NOT seen at Croft so far this year. This entry should see a total entry between 60-70 cars with the biggest line up of Super Mods and Production cars seen in Uk this year plus top flight Supercars. Definately NOT an event to miss! |

I'm going to be there all being well. Couldn't make the GP weekend for the third year on the trot so looking forward to this one. It was a good event last year with some great racing.

http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1...events/3487744 It was a bit intermittent due to the weather, but still lots of racing to watch. Just seen that Kevin Procter will be running at Croft in the Supercars... http://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/20...nlovc.facebook ...not exactly a "Clubman" Supercar, but will be great to see the Fiesta in action again. |

That's pretty much at the polar opposite end of the scale isn't it? Still, as you say it's good to see it out and good to see plenty of support for the BTRDA event.

I think he's probably entered purely to get extra testing time for the car. If its working then he'll win by a large margin. Could do with a few more super cars entering, as with the usual breakdowns the grid will be a bit sparse.
Modified and production are bulging with entries, which is great to see. Particularly when you consider there are a few noticeable absentees. |

I see Andy Grant has joined the entry list as well, so hopefully there will be enough Supercars out there to generate a bit of racing. The Super Modified and Stock Hatch entries both look excellent. Really interested to see how Jack Thorne does in the Super Modified, I was seriously impressed by his pace at Lydden in August. |

Well I don't want to speak too soon, but at present the Met Office are showing cloud and some scattered showers for Sunday: fingers crossed it stays that way!

I was hoping it would be like the last couple of Sundays when its been lovely weather, typical. Having said that it could be worse, I've stood in the rain at Croft before with no racing for 2 hours because the track has been too water logged, deep joy! I'm really hoping for dry weather as I'll have my 4 year old with me and at least one of my nephews. Wet cold weather and children isn't a good mix! I see another Supercar has sneaked on the entry as well.

I think the only other likely suspect would possibly be Colin Anson? These are the only other 2 I can think off, as most of the other supercars at the last croft meeting are either not "Clubmans" or were badly broken at the end of the day. Unless one of our Irish friends is having a trip over, but again I've not heard anything on that front either. I guess we shall soon see! |
