Just seen this thread again so thought I'd quickly chip in as I raced at Croft on the new surface in June.
It's still a little bumpy in places. One in particular I remember is a dip right on the inside of turn 1. Don't apex too early or you risk unsettling the car more than a little!
Other than that it's very good. The overall grip level is insane in the wet or dry.
Have a good one chaps. I'm working on budgeting better for next year's race season which will hopefully release some funds to let me do some club trackdays next year. Fingers crossed!

Unfortunately due to a problem with my handbrake mechanism I can't drive my RX-7 so need to pass on my place. Anyone willing to purchase it. It cost me £180 after discount. Any offers considered. I will still be there for passenger laps and carjacking Nigel

Car loaded up today before I went pick up two grandchildren who are staying for the next week and we are out all day Sunday with them. I have a survey to do on Monday morning too and cannot depart until I upload the data and it's looking like a headache property so I may be late for dinner!
Nearly forgot, also set up a new camera mount centrally between the seats which you can just see.
iPhone images so probably upside down on a PC but don't worry nothing will fall out.

Not at all, but it's locked on and it appears that no amount of persuasion is going to release it
