Kwik Fit’s Instagram has a photo of DeLeon doing media interviews, so looks like Hard have made it (well, their driver at the least!)

They have tended to use these sessions to “launch” the season. I expect it will be no different this year

This might seem tenuous but could be BTCC relevant.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjr79pppgn7o M25 will be closed between J9-10 over the weekend 10th-13th May. If it's anything like last time then expect the roads to be chaos over a much wider area. The BTCC related bit that's Brands Hatch weekend, and I expect a good number of people will be expecting to get to BH via the M25. |

I'd say that's significant enough to question whether the round may be reschuled entirely.

As far as I can remember, the BBC reported after the last closure that delays were nowhere as bad as had been predicted as people had taken on board the request to minimise travel over that stretch. And this report states that there will be extra diversion routes available this time. People intent on going to Brands that weekend will just have to allow extra travelling time so as to arrive in time. |

Tomorrow *might* be a little warmer and less blowy, but it's still forecast to rain on and off all day. Very definitely "April showers"!

To be honest, he looked uncomfortable, but, considering he's just a kid of what, 17/18, I think I'd be a bit shy in that situation considering the way people have been looking at HARD. Much as many people don't want Mr T Gillham in the paddock, it's not the kids fault he's become the only public voice in the situation, not that fair on him is it to face all those people? And to be fair, it was quite some crowd for a TCR round. |

Is there any paddock gossip about if we will have the 4th WSR car out tomorrow or not? Or is this going to be one they run right to the race weekend - I know that's not ideal of course.

To be clear, I wasn't suggesting the round should be cancelled/rescheduled, just making sure people are aware of the situation and to plan accordingly. |

Yes, looks like it, having checked the forecast. Will be taking my wet weather gear just in case. Maybe a while in the grandstand by pits might be a better option.

I like the Sumpton livery, the Smiley one being black and red just reminds me of Hard.

I don't mind either of them. Particularly like the red rear on the Smiley car.

A nice video here from the Croft test. It even captures Hill's incident.

No Hard Cupra out on the tracking shots, apparently it’s in the garage still needing work.

It was pushed out onto the grid and then pushed back into the garage, looks like it needs a lot of parts. I doubt they'll get it running today. No sponsors on it except Bartercard, Autobrite are on Daryl's suit but they've pulled out.

Do we have an official entry list as of yet? From what I can see, no Bobby T along with no HARD on track.
