Croft is for GT3 cars only as they won't be running with the GT cars at the FIA GT round at Magny Cours.

An entry list I assume wil be on the british f3/gt website?

The team list is not yet finalised, but from what I have seen/know there are quite a few entrants a good selection of returnees and newbies.

Looks like a promising season

I'll be there on the Sunday, either up in the Caterham or the Cosworth. I know it will be a fair old drive but it's got to be worth it!

I want to try and get to as many meetings as possible this year.

No - we're now off in Club racing world as series independent of TVR.

In some ways it is a shame as it was fun being part of the GT package. On the other hand it was also very costly and our grid numbers were falling.

The costs for this years Tuscan Challenge are down significantly. Entry fees will be much lower and tyres will last 3-4 meetings rather than one. Tyres were the biggest individual cost of running the car.

We're hoping that the reduction in costs plus the friendly nature of the Tuscan paddock will tempt a few more people out.

Also with TVR out of the frame, the series sponsorship now stays with the series rather than being swallowed up by the general TVR coffers. I understand we still have TV coverage too...

I am going with Bob the Planner on the Sunday, although we might do like last year and go down on the Saturday as well. Look for the yellow chim with the smiley's.
