Absolutely. Given that the cars are all broadly similar cost to purchase (please correct me if I'm wrong) then the obvious choice to buy is the Golf/Leon, Hyundai or Honda - they've all performed well.

Correct me if I'm wrong but thought Ash was a one-off? Don't think Dan's been 100% confirmed yet either...

But none of the other West Coast Golfs, right? That's the problem Dan's having.

I don't think he'll be in a WCR Golf.

Mr Ekblom needs that car for the STCC.

WCR does have a 4th Golf though, so they could still run Lloyd.

Dan is trying to do a deal to run a Golf. I do not believe the West Coast gang will be here to run it as they've got a STCC meeting, hence the Swedish duo not being present.

I thought Ash Sutton was driving more than one round... I know Mr Crocker was tied up with his business and that kept him out of the car for the last round, and was possibly going to do so for the near future.

Think I'm going to get a few quid on Max, he's way better than the entire field (excluding Lloyd)...

I wouldn't! Turns out he's racing the Cupra in Britcar instead.

So 10 cars have been entered into the Croft round. Robert Gilmour and Carl Swift are not taking part im guessing they were unable to repair the cars. While Sean Walkinshaw returns in the SWR Honda Civic

Its a shame that the grid hasn't grown over the year.

The Bäckmans have nothing to play for in the STCC, so why not?

19 drivers, although some of those have driven the same car at different times so not possible to get all on the grid together. I make it 16 separate cars being used at some point. That said, if all 16 were at every meeting it wouldn't be a bad start.

Average entry up to this point (excluding Croft) = 12
Average number of finishers = 8.7
