- 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
Aston Martin DB5, Porsche 996 GT2, etc.

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.

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.
