Castle Coombe Performance Car Track Day - April 19th 2008

[PuntoStar]

Is this only worth going to if your running your car? or is there shops and show cars?

[officer_dibley]

last year, 20-30 stands maybe, few "car boot" tye stalls.

largest attaction without doubt is the track, either watching / participating.

funniest moments are A) watching those who try to drive like the do on a playstation (without the reset button though) and B) the stereotype fast cars (evos, scoobys, T5s, GTis etc) being totally outdriven by sleepers. (last year included a transit van, astramax van, variety of metros and a MG powered Hillman Imp...)

good day, get yourselves along there - i'll probably be there again in either the stilo or the sporting, rework permitting.

How much for this day and how much track time?

[officer_dibley]

iirc...

admission to "event" about £10 pp - unless you're on a stand (free).

tracktime, in region of £30 for 15 minutes of tracktime. (7-9 laps)

your car needs to pass noise check prior to joining circuit.

last years figures, can't be much more this time round.

hmm very tempted, shame my car isn't quite up to spec on the brakes, how often do they run this?

[PuntoGt031087]

not very often i dont think, its normally race meets, which means lots of incidents and very strict on safety, i.e roll cages and harnesses.
the next one advertised on website is for european cars toward the autumn i think

im sure you wouldnt be only car there on standard brakes, my mates ibiza cupra is 100% standard and its only a 15 min sesh

Just thought I would let people know that all track time is now booked. So if you are going on the track its going to be very busy so go carefull. I will be there with my camera, hopefully get some good pics and will post them for everyone see you there.
