| BTCC Croft What a set of races!!! 2 Red Flags, and 1st race called off thanks to rain. Thank God the 2 marshals were OK Race 2 was pretty action packed. Matt Jackson charging up the field Race 3 was pretty gripping too

| Re: BTCC Croft Missed the first race as my freeview box decided to commit a loud and smelly suicide. After a quick dash down to the local Tescos for a new box I managed to watch the second half of the Seat Cupra Spin 'n' Drift Competition  followed by Mat Jackson's amazing charge from 18th to 2nd. Part of me was hoping Turkington didn't quite control his slide on the last lap so Jackson could get past him and get the win.The Carrera Cup did it's usual magic and sent me to sleep, I finally woke up to the credits having missed all of race 3 and any other supporting classes that raced  Bloody boring Porsches

| Re: BTCC Croft I watched this, wish it would rain more, makes it so much more fun to watch. The best bit was seeing the clip from '92with Stevie Soper taking the vauxhall Cavalier out.

| Re: BTCC Croft I've seen thatb you-tube clip!!! Sopers car is battered, he takes Cleland cleanly, Cleland doent like it so nudges him. And in true BTCC "non contact" style along comes soper at flank speed.

| Re: BTCC Croft I was there .... I don't wish it had rained more, I was soaked through (even though I was wearing waterproofs) which made me somewhat miserable for most of the day. But it did make the conditions interesting, to say the least! Having said that, the racing was great; the 2nd race was brilliant. Sadly missed the Cupras as I was in the car trying to warm up / dry off a bit. Shame the Seats didn't have a good day. Didn't get any photos for fear of my camera getting soaked.
