I don't normally keep pounding round in qualifying once the tyres are past their best. But with 40 cars on such a short track I had to somehow find a gap. I did two practice in-laps during qualifying, which also helped to cool the tyres down a little. And you've got to find the braking point for the pit lane speed limit line...
If I hadn't sneaked class pole by 0.03s then I would have been on the outside for the start

Well done

Good luck for the rest of the seaon.

I think you should concentrate on Roadsports AND BRSCC as then you'll be at Snetterton three times.Liam22 wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 2:14 pmNot 100% confirmed, but looks something like this:

Brilliant Liam well done again I was trying to find the race at Croft today on you tube but couldn`t find it anywhere but I have just checked the results and you came second overall but noticed that first and third are INV . I take it that means invited/invitational so does that mean technically that you came first . What a result just a shame I didn`t get to see it .
How was the race ?

Sods law I put on you tube this morning and it came up as a recommendation !! It was rather wet and could tell the tyres were going at the end . Really pleased for you

Finally got my video up. Most of the action was first and last 5 minutes, so it's a short highlights video.

Decided to not head straight back to Croft for Roadsports this coming weekend, so the next outing will be at Brands Hatch. Car just needs an oil change (and a damn good clean!)First time at Croft since 2007 and first race with BRSCC Clubsport Trophy (class B).
Nearly put it on overall pole but track limits rules have changed since the last time I was there and my best times were deleted.
Heavy rain in the 30 minutes before the race forced me onto wet tyres, but the rain stopped as we left assembly to form up on the grid. They were the right tyres to be on, but after lap 5/6 I couldn't go any faster as the track slowly dried. Ultimately got caught and passed by a 220bhp Fiesta on racing wets but he was in an invitation class on that special rubber and I took my first outright win in a long time.
