Croft, this could be classed as my home round, as I don't live far from the circuit.

I must admit though, I don't think I will post decent times, as every practice race I've done at Croft results in carnage at the first turn, I'm either shoved off, or I have to slow right down to avoid any cars been spun out in front of me.

better than nothing happening at all I guess...

Of the many great tracks in the BTCC, this is one which flows the least, in my opinion. The Renault should be an advantage but this track isn't one I know too well. However, 4th place in the driver's standings is mine for the taking

I am no fan of Croft. Wish I had the Pug this round...

I used to be amazing at Croft, purely because I could remember how the weather would play out in each race so could be on the right tyres. Not sure how well I'll do, never been a great fan of the Vauxhall

just finished my races. heres my report,

race 1

qualifying for race 1 was not bad, I played it safe at times, perhaps I could of gone faster, but the setups i tried, i found the car too twitchy through the corners. I qualified 7th.

the race: as with my pratice runs, my race was really over at the first corner. There were 4 cars trying to squeeze through, and a Vauxhall shoved me off the track. I finished in 16th.

Race 2

Qualifying was better this time round in terms of the car feeling. I actually finished worse than last time, coming in 12th, but It gave me more confidence for the race.

the race was much better than the previous one, again, the first turn was crowded, but this time, instead of going off, I got through OK. I knocked a Vauxhall off at the first turn getting payback for race 1

, but the race itself was not bad, I had lost too much time slowing down to avoid any carnage at the first corner, so the top half got away, so I really had to settle for 12th.

all in all, not bad.

F12010 has occupied my gaming this weekend and, I planned to race today, but a throbbing headache had me out of action. I'll do them tomorrow afternoon/evening if you can award an extension.

**Brown, Jon Brow** · 18th October 2010, 13:26

That 406 is one slow car! Especially as I've been used to F1 cars for the past few weeks. I'm not expecting great things from this round.

**MrJan** · 18th October 2010, 14:08

I'm like Paddy, only it was football, WRC and watching real rallying that was my downfall. I might be able to get a race in this evening if an extension is available.
