We have been to a few Rallycross events at Croft now over the years and they are a fantastic action packed day out. The forecast was not looking the best but that was good as it made the circuit very testing for the drivers and there was plenty of crashes in the practice laps & Round 1 & 2 in the morning. After lunch it had dried up but the gravel sections were chopping up & very bumpy making the cars come off the ground along the back straight. Below is some photos of the days action, and a gallery here

These were mental flying around the circuit |
A retro classic from my era! I remeber watching this going through Hamsterley Forest one year |
580bhp beast of a machine |
Something alittle different as well |
Check out the size of this rig |
Best pit bike of the day |
Angus had his own BBQ! this was the most expensive horrible looking takeaway food i have seen |
Who forgot to fasten their bonnet down! |
This was on his first practice lap, they were coming off like skittles |
Typical Croft weather |
This was the loudest car of the day, popping and banging, not to mention the flames coming out of the exhaust |
Paul from Coronation Street & Andy from Emmerdale |
