CATCH UP Q&A WITH COLIN

YOU MAKE NO SECRET THAT THIS IS YOUR FAVOURITE CIRCUIT, TELL US WHAT IT IS THAT YOU LIKE SO MUCH ABOUT CROFT?

There’s not one thing in particular. I like that the track is technical in the first and last sectors, and ultra fast in the middle. I find the circuit flows really well and you can get in such a great rhythm.

A hot lap around Croft just makes me smile, so that’s probably worth a few tenths in itself.

WILL IT BE ANY DIFFERENT HEADING THERE IN AUTUMN, NOT MIDSUMMER LIKE WE’RE USED TO?

I don’t think so. The circuit was resurfaced last year, and the grip was great; which is a good thing for us heading there now in October. The weather tends to be unpredictable, even in the summer! The clouds always begin to threaten just before race 3. It’s obviously going to be a lot cooler this time around, so that might actually make us quicker! 

Put it like this, I’ll not be packing the paddling pool this year.

THERE ARE ONLY 3 EVENTS LEFT IN THIS 2020 SEASON, WHAT CHANGES (IF ANY) DO THE CONTENDERS FEEL IN THIS FINAL THIRD?

Nothing yet. Everyone is still pushing to achieve their own goals and targets. We are getting towards the business end, so the pressure and intensity starts to rise, but really it’s still one race at a time for me. It feels like we are near the end of the season, but only because it’s October and the season is usually over by now.

With 9 races to go, there’s still a lot of racing to be done!
