By MJP Media | 18 June 2011
Alex MacDowall and Rob Collard top the timesheets in free practice at Croft whilst Rob Austin ends the sessions in a magnificent 7th place.
Rob Collard - top in the second free practice session
In the first of the free practice session at a damp Croft circuit in North Yorkshire, Alex MacDowall in the Silverline Chevrolet Cruze set the fastest lap ahead of Rob Collard in the WSR BMW 320si E90 and Tom Chilton in the Team Aon Global Ford Focus. Championship leader Matt Neal was 4th in the Honda Racing Civic with defending champion Jason Plato in 5th in the Silverline Chevrolet Cruze and Andrew Jordan completing the top 6 in his Pirtek Racing Vauxhall Vectra.
The second free practice of the day showed what a competitive car the WSR BMW 320si E90 still is with Rob Collard finishing the session on top with Gordon Shedden 2nd in the Honda Racing Team Civic and Tom Boardman in the Special Tuning Racing SEAT Leon 3rd.
The great performance of the morning sessions was Rob Austin in the Audi A4 posting 12th in the first session and a magnificent 7th in the second. Is this the round where the new teams start to shine?
Qualifying this afternoon looks set to be one of the most open of the season so far - you can catch all of the action here.
