Short notice but thought some of you guys might be interested if you are at a loose end this weekend.

The DDMC have an open invitation Sports & Saloon race double header (2 x 20 min races) and a 60 minute endurance race at Croft on Sunday 8th September.

The sprint races are £295 for 15 minutes qualifying and 2 x 20 minute races and its only £150 for the 60 minute endurance race with its own 15 minute Quali. £425 if you enter both.

Endurance race can be one of two drivers.

Bloody cheap track time if you ask me!

Entry forms are here:

Jesus!

not content with pitching the first guy off the track, he then goes on to sideswipe you off!

seriously, I would be sending that to the MSA for review, kind of surprised the stewards did not take it up?
To be fair, Jake (my co-driver in the white car) had a O/S/R puncture which was why the car was all over the place. This was caused by contact with the red car at Sunny Out before the video starts.

I saw the accident from the pit wall and felt sick when I heard the thud. It was a massive impact and I'm amazed and relieved that you managed to walk away from it Darren. I saw the guy in parc ferme after the race and he was storming around with a face like thunder. If I'd done something like that I'd have driven straight out the paddock and hid.

Can't believe he still wouldn't accept he'd done anything wrong. The guy clearly shouldn't be in a race car.

The driver was Bob Higgins! Usually drives the No. 64 car.

Spread the word. Can't see him being welcome in any paddock in future.

And I now know my fear of hitting that barrier is not entirely irrational!
That's strange Ollie. I've raced at Croft quite a few times and have never really noticed that barrier before! I'll probably pay it a bit more attention next time! biggrin
