Buy an autosport guide, that will talk you through the whole track covering lines, braking points, turning points. Croft is very bumby & normally requires a slight damper adjustment to compensate. There are three very fast sections so the circuit should be seen as medium to low downforce, nothing too quirky in the way of set up is required though

Jim clark esses & barcroft are very good corners & are quite challanging especially on the first lap of the race when the tyres are still not right up to pressure & temperature the car will get quite lively through the second part of the esses & barcroft. Barcroft is probably the one where you are most likely to spin because you need to be getting of the throttle & onto the brakes for sunny right on th exit of the corner with the car still loaded up. I find that croft is not a circuit that you get into a rythm like brands or mallory, instead you end up driving in 3 sections, clevaux to the chicane, tower to sunny out & then the twisty bit at the end of the lap. Anyway i'm looking forward to good weekend, both cars are ready to go, hopefully we have'nt forgot anything
Good to see Simon is back out with you lot in his renault, i've heard his formula ireland looks rather sick
