RSS Croft Predictions.
We've got an entry list so how about some predictions?
Division 1 Quite a disappointing entry for the top class but good to see some new faces out there. Carnegie - Won at Mondello and should win here too. Mundy - Been quick but needs to stay consistent - could do it here? Evans - Astra seemed to go well on its debut. Random factor - Jokinen in the 206, how quick will he be? Division 1A New class, new cars. Gass - Purely based on the assumption that the Saxo is better than the corsa and 106. Si - It'll be interesting to see how well the Metro hangs onto them - I'm guessing that it's lighter than they'll be? Super National This looks to be a very comptetive field - plenty of potential winners out for this one Bellerby - If the car's sorted out. Wheatley - Nippy Metro always goes well. Proctor - That Lotus is looking very rapid this year. Junior A big entry for the Juniors should give some tight racing. Orr - On a roll this year. Simpson (Ashley) - Quick so far. Hopkins - Stock Hatch Lots of cars, lots of lunatics Godfrey - Consistently a front runner, should be there or thereabouts. Si Horton - Metro looked quick at Lydden when it was pointing the right way. Rich Horton - I don't want to start any fights by favouring one brother over the other! (So I'll 'doom' them both instead ) Minicross A sizeable horde of Minis, should be good for a bit of Mayhem, not too sure on form for this one as quite a few drivers seem to be missing (I think you've got a reasonable excuse though Scot!) Danny Budd/Ralph Budd - Never seem to be far apart on the track and never far from the front. Anyone else got any thoughts on this? |

Bert, with regards div 1a, I just want to see how close a stock is to one of these car, so if i can "hang with them" i will be very happy & suprised, but u never know.
And yes mine is lighter by about 80-90kg (before you add the driver ) Prediction time Division 1 Carnegie - The biggest name in the class Best of the rest will be Mundy I think. Seems to have stepped up the pace this year so far. Division 1A Gass - Seemed to be on the money at mondello Super National This looks to be a very comptetive field - plenty of potential winners out for this one Bellerby - Local favourite Wheatley & Proctor will be pushing every inch of the way Junior Simpson (Ashley) - Seems very quick Stock Hatch Godfrey - I'm a realist Behind him it's going to be very close scrap. Minicross I'm not an expert on the drivers in this class if i'm honest, but danny and ralph are the well known names. |

Don't know if it's any help Si but I saw Gass done a 2.57mins in the Final. Most of the stock hatches in the finals were around ten second slower than that with the exception of Murray who finished with a 2.58!!

Thanks for giving me a decent excuse. I already have another car and should be back out by Holland. I think for the first meeting you normally go with what you know. So I think it will go something like Division 1 Dermot Carnegie (but it will be interesting to see how the new cars of Chris Evans and Steve Hill run) Steve looked quick at the test day. Division 1A Paul Wakeling (he also got quicker as the day went on) plus his dad looks after my car !! Super National Dave Bellerby Des Wheatley Nobody's mentioned Mike Turpin (he's always up there) Stock Hatch Julian Godfrey Either of the Horton's Steve Heppenstall Minicross I go with Danny Budd but watch out for Ed Collett and John Thacker. These two are definately getting quicker. Others worth a watch are Dan Balster (Allrounders runner-up) and the bright Orange Mini of Phil Sharpe. Junior Kyle Orr Andrew Jordan I also agree to look out for Ash Simpson (he's been around a couple of years now and this is his last chance at this level) Last edited by MiniMadness; 27 Apr 2005 at 23:26. |

just noticed that Jokinen (the only overseas supercar) is also entered in the French ERC round. Would hate to trvel 500+ miles and find it is a uk only field. That is not what the SS promised.
Anybody know exactly who is going to be there. KA TW |
