Hi guys,
I'm going to do a PCGB track day in May at Castle Combe. 3 questions;
.
1 does anyone know a decent B&B where I can stay overnight nearish to the circuit?
2 anyone have any tips on this circuit for a newbie to track days ?
3 what is the best value budget but decent open face helmet to buy ? I'd rather purchase as I intend to do a few track days this year and can always bung on eBay if I have no further use from it.
Thanks

For what it's worth , I would scrub some speed off before you crest Avon rise and then back on the anchors after the crest in a road car on your first time at Castle Combe, depends on the car your using to some degree.

This versus the club bumpf "The emphasis is on safety and fun, there can be no competition element. Each track day starts with a comprehensive drivers' briefing. The first session on track will be led by a car with an instructor in it with a strict no-overtaking policy whilst familiarisation laps take place. Instructors are available all day and will teach you more than you can imagine."
I guess the message is take it easy, don't get overly confident and hope it's dry...
