Croft for btcc

[porscheuro]

Any attendees, i'm off for weekend should be fun....

[10 Pence Short]

I'll be there courtesy of some tickets from one of the series sponsors.

I watched the btcc this year when it was at brands, used to follow each race religiously in the late 90's but I think it died a death when all the manufactures moved out.

How has the racing been so far this season. Has it got any better? Is it worth watching or will I just be left there thinking id be better trying to find my copy of tocca for the playstation and playing that instead?

[porscheuro]

its not too bad at the moment because a few of the indys are rattling the factory teams and don't think they like it.......come on jordan fellows

[Chocmonster]

They are doing a "meet the drivers" type thing at the local HiQ garage in Darlington on Thursday night. That's only round the corner from me so think I'll pop round to see what they get up to!

[markmullen]

I'll be there, going with some of my mates from Renault.

Afraid not this time mate.

Are you doing Harewood on the 8th?

[Graebob]

Is it this weekend??

[speedtwelve]

Went a couple of times when I lived just 5 miles along the road from Croft. I reckon it's a great spectating circuit, loads of raised banking. I remember one meet when someone had VIP'd in using a Squirrel helicopter that was parked just outside the barrier at the end of a straight. Cue large coming together of cars under braking and one high-energy lost wheel which hit the tyre wall at Warp 9, got airborne and prescribed a beautiful ballistic arc straight into the side of said helicopter, which didn't fare very well in the argument.

That helicopter belonged to Dave Richards of Prodrive. What made it even worse is he was supposed to be lending it to Bernie Eccelstone the next day. The wheel came off Gary Paffetts formula vauxhall, just missing a friend of mine before hitting the chopper then ending up in the windscreen of a new vectra.

They've been in hibernation so far...

So you can guarantee they'll wake up just in time for the BTCC <itch>

If they're the little black flies our valeters are trying to remove from the fronts of all our cars from Thursday then no, they've not got their dates mixed up, the cars are covered.
