Touring cars at Croft this weekend
Had a pleasant couple of hours wandering round Croft today, virtually no spectators, free admission, and seemingly free access all areas! 
The tourers were not practising today, but I watched the Clios, Ginnettas, and Porsche cup cars on track. Managed to stand on the pit wall when the
Porsches were out, they sound superb. 
A few snaps.
BMW engine dripping in carbon, funny I always presumed they were six pots.
..and these two Porsches were being towed to the holding area by that little quad, BEC power!!

think the touring cars are limited to 2ltr engine, so that might be why its a 4 cylinder

I was at Croft for the first time last week, got invited to a Merc hospitality day so spent it blasting round croft in various merc's including
some nice AMG models.

The racing is just part of it for me, I prefer the pit lane and the support acts....
I have never seen the Porsche cup racing and I love them , likewise the Ginettas...
Touring cars are not really the top of my list.
Grandstand seating is free on the saturday, and Ive not done the viewing area beyond the startline/pit lane so will give that a go too.
