Hi ya mate I have over 20 progs from the 90's at croft kindly given to me by a forum member which I am still to catalogue if you can narrow the year roughly might help. If not one will delve and try and resolve your predicament ...

Kinda think its was 93 the year! Perdal Performance Rallycross Challenge's held at Croft through the year, but will still check for sure

wow brilliant! I have fond memories of being at croft late 80s/early 90s when i was a young lad, however only kept a few programme from the british champ rounds. Judging by the car numbers in the photos, this is a local DDMC organised event. I would guess 1993/1994?, as the ford escort (no.10) was introduced around then anyway and croft was re-developed in 1995. Thanks for the help, much appreciated. You planning to upload the prog. covers anytime?

Loks like it might be one of those early rwd cossi powered Escorts, maybe even Irish?

Not sure its a proper 4wd, maybe Horsley?

Proving elusive is that one! Yes mate my thoughts also not proper 4wd looks like a mish mash, thought Rally car class but lack of headlights etc maybe not, has a look as though rwd will keep searching

Program covers I am in process of scanning and thinking about resurrecting my F.B page with old rallycross stuff from various drivers and all my collection of programs at some stage.
In the meantime check out my channel onYouTube mrrallycrossuk for rallycross action I have some 90's Croft action to be uploaded.

Can you relink the pictures please, I can't seem to get them.

For me number 10 has always been related to Kevin Pease, but if it was the Production class the number 10 Escort could have been Craig Chambers from Margate.

As you say Kevin was no10 each of the progs I have have Kevin in a Renault 5 no 10. Modified. I did notice that the Escort two different number styles to form 10! the zero seemed to be a last minute addition possibly? All strange, you mention Mr Chambers will delve even more deeper! But I would defiantly say not production class ( Escort Cossie can't recall seeing that in class ) and yep links now page not found

[silver bullet]

Kevin did have a Fiesta before the Renault, but not an Escort.

IIRC Kenny McKinstry raced his Escort 4x4 under the number 10 at Croft in the Belfast Ferries Challenge, but that was in the late 80's, and I'm sure all the experts on here would recognise Kenny

That's better.
Difficult one this
The Escort has me a bit stumped, especially running the number 10, as that was always Kevin Pease's number. All I can think is it could possibly be Adrian Horsley.
IIRC he did have an Escort at one time, and it could be in the rallycar class

As for the group that is even more difficult
I am thinking it is Formula C around 89/90 the car on the left could be the Talbot Samba of Belfast driver Willie McVicker.
I also recognise the three coloured Fiesta, but the name escapes me.
