• John Chatham drove in the first running of this event 23 years ago and is bringing both of his Healey 3000s as well as a Jaguar F-Type on track and a Mk 1 E-Type to display
• Grant Williams is bringing the ex-works MK1 Jaguar touring car which won plenty in period and also won at Goodwood this year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKJDaNmbZHs
• Multiple Combe GT champion Simon Tilling is running his Aston Martin V12 Vantage
• Looking forward to seeing Doug Watson's BMW M6 V10 GT car in action
• Combe Saloons regular Ray Ferguson is running his new Ferrari California
• I love Dave Hensley's very pretty GT40 replica, as close to a real one as any of us will ever get in
• Four Radical SR3s on track if you want to experience downforce and slicks
• Plenty of Japanese turbo machinery including a Nissan GTR R35

We also have a 'Supercar Paddock' display with pledges of two McLaren MP12s, Mk 1 E-Type, Aston Martin V12 Virage,
Aston Martin DB5, Porsche 996 GT2, etc.

Plus the hard working and generous people at Bristol MC are running an Autosolo: http://bristolmc.org.uk/charity-solo-notice/

Weather forecast is very good, certainly dry, they say.

The whole thing put together and run by volunteers and every penny donated goes direct to Stroke Association staff on the day.

I really hope you can join us and enjoy a laid back day with some legendary cars and fantastic drivers.

[Yellow Fever]

Sorry, I didn't make it clear in my post above - you can get a 5-lap passenger ride on track in any of these cars for a donation to the Stroke Association in the range of £20 to £60 depending on car and driver.

And to get your weekend off to a good start, here's a video of Grant Williams from Newport winning in the MK1 Jag at Goodwood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKJDaNmbZHs

Helmets provided free of charge courtesy of Castle Combe Racing School. Bristol Motor Club is running a novice Autosolo event as well, compete in whatever you turn up in: http://bristolmc.org.uk/charity-solo-notice/

Supercar Paddock featuring two McLaren MP12s, Mk1 E-Type etc. If you have something really nice please bring it - weather forecast is dry the whole day.

Plenty of things to get involved in and 100% of your donations go direct to the charity on the day thanks to the 75 volunteers who give their time and effort to make this happen.

[Yellow Fever]

Just a quick word to say thank you to any PH South Wales folks who came along and contributed to making the event an all-time best - thank you.
We were very, very lucky to have Grant Williams along with the world-famous MK1 Jag race car, with all its history. He was busy all day, including making a very big impression on Motors TV presenter Rachel Thorne who selected the MK1 as the car she most wanted a ride in (and then did).
Same time next year, at Castle Combe.
