**touringlegend** · 26 Jan 2003, 22:28 (Ref:486810)

Yep, I'm definitely attending my local circuit this year! Even though it is 3 hours away...

Jimeth · 26 Jan 2003, 22:29 (Ref:486811)

Booooo!! Croft rules!

i like the way it always seems to produce really good races. But sorry thats straying off topic.

Phoenix1 · 27 Jan 2003, 00:03 (Ref:486913)

I'll be there TAK or not! Only an hour and a bit away!

Sim_Da_BTCC_Man · 27 Jan 2003, 16:30 (Ref:487448)

Droping a hint there AK? I take it your hired just to build the site you don't actualy tecnicaly work for the team?

Jimeth · 27 Jan 2003, 17:30 (Ref:487489)

now THAT is analysing posts too much!

**Asp** · 27 Jan 2003, 19:26 (Ref:487599)

I should be there, in one way or the other. I may be driving be then; I may have signed up to be there is orange - depends on how quick I am at doing things. Don't know why - Oulton's me local cicuit but I never seem able to watch BTCC there. Exams...

Ann · 27 Jan 2003, 23:12 (Ref:487807)

I'll be there - lets hope its as hot & sunny as last year!

kristof14 · 27 Jan 2003, 23:17 (Ref:487813)

I'll be there this year! My Grandpa lives in Northallerton which is about 10 minutes from the track!!

Les · 28 Jan 2003, 06:25 (Ref:488033)

someone remind me nearer the day to pack my fire extinguisher to put out the ruddy BBQs set up on top of the bank. They were determined to smoke me out.

Phoenix1 · 28 Jan 2003, 18:29 (Ref:488569)

I'll be there whatever happens. Mondello, Brands (I hope) and Croft for thsi year as a fan first and formost. That is why I look after the site because I enjoy motorracing. :-) I will hopefully go to more races than that and alot more if TAK do run other than that to much analysis, sorry. When I know either way I'll post it on here and the offical site.

CROFT what a nightmare, I dread going there even though it is only once a year. Its always wet and cold and last year it was like a monsoon. And every year I say I am not coming back next year. The place is so unfriendly they wont let you camp at circiut yet they have fields that are big and empty. Its as though they dont want you there. And they charge more than anywhere else for admission. If places like snetterton, castle combe, brands, thruxton, donnington can let you turn up on a friday and camp for free all weekend then why wont they let you camp one night. I dont mind paying. It is the only circiut I go to that I cant camp and have to go to scotch corner. Do they let people camp there when the touring cars are there. I follow F3/GT all season, I like the circuit and veiwing, and I may say im not but I will be there again this year worst luck

Peter S · 30 Jan 2003, 17:19 (Ref:490803)

erm last year at croft it was red hot for the touring cars.......i got severely sunburnt!! As for camping then there is camping allowed.....just not within the cirucit. The campsite is around the back of the circuit....signposted!

Jimeth · 30 Jan 2003, 17:28 (Ref:490820)

yep, get ur facts straight before going on a massive rant about a good circuit. if it was **** it wouldn't be on the calendar. and the people are as friendly is not friendlier than anyone.

**touringlegend** · 30 Jan 2003, 17:39 (Ref:490833)

I think ARDMACHA was talking about the F3/GTs meeting weather, as I remember it was a downpour!

redshoes · 30 Jan 2003, 18:14 (Ref:490860)

Top tip for Croft if you are thinking of camping is forget the circuit campsite. Last year is was little more than a field with no water and a single chemical loo and they had the cheek to charge £5 for the priviledge. Head off to the other side of the A1, there's a number of proper campsites - hot showers, proper toilets, etc - which are not that much more expensive.

**Craig** · 30 Jan 2003, 18:32 (Ref:490884)

That's a fiver per PERSON per NIGHT, Redshoes, not per UNIT! We arrived on Friday night last year and left on Monday morning, stopping in York on the return journey. The campsite was fine - a really good atmosphere, and you can walk to the circuit too - if only it was a little cheaper it would be absolutely fine.

Oh, and we arrived in the paddock on Friday in what can only be described as a monsoon...

Jimeth · 30 Jan 2003, 22:14 (Ref:491078)

where does everyone choose to sit at Croft? or do most people wander round all day? I'm normally found at the chicane whenever i'm there, i've had a love for it ever since my first meeting there and some Tuscans had a big crash there

**touringlegend** · 30 Jan 2003, 22:18 (Ref:491081)

I was at the chicane for the sprint last year when Andy Priaulx started heading towards me!

Les · 30 Jan 2003, 22:43 (Ref:491105)

I like the complex - always a bit of action there

speedy king · 31 Jan 2003, 12:36 (Ref:491753)

ye, especially when Plato and Tarquini were racing...

Jimeth · 31 Jan 2003, 18:40 (Ref:492136)

Heheh...BANG!

Iwas on about the F3/GT meetings at croft. But it just shows how different they can be with touring car meeting and F3. That is why I asked if at touring car meetings they allow camping. I am going to ring croft to demand camping for all
