Popped in to Richard yesterday at Castle Combe and promised I would spam Pistonheads about this event.

I suppose it doesn't really need much of an introduction, as it's been about for a while now, but it's a bit earlier this year on the 20th October.

For those that aren't familiar with the day, you can buy passenger laps around Combe from a wide selection of cars, anything from Radicals, Ferraris, Minis or fast hatchbacks!

So, just a heads up to anyone interested in attending. I'm sure it will be another great day!

I think the car situation is OK at the moment, but I'm sure Rich would love to hear from anyone with something race prepared/interested/caged. Or from any of the regular racers at Combe who can fit a passenger seat in their car.

Combination of the two.

Bristol Motor Club are usually there as well running their auto solo event. So you can take your own car around their marked out track, competing against others for the fastest time.

There's normally a few owners clubs that bring a few cars as well.

Not to mention all the race and track cars will be in the paddock free for everyone to wander about and have a look.

I'm sure Rich could arrange for Pistonheads to have another designated area of parking near the paddock if there's enough numbers.

who is running it this year? last year it was "yellow fever"?? wonder if they want me to bring the vete again?
Yeah, same guy is organising it - Richard.

He just said on Monday that he is really busy at the moment, so didn't have time to start a thread on here, so I said I'd do it.

Do you have his email address? If you've been before as a driver, her should have yours. I think he was going to send out a big group email this week some time to all the previous drivers to see if they'd be available to drive this year.

If you need his email, PM me.

Looks interesting.. do you pay to get in/park or just for laps?
I think it's £5 entry for adults and £2.50 for OAPs. Children under 15 or 16 are free.

All the money goes to the Stroke Association.

Then passenger rides start at around £20 and go up to about £60 for the faster and more interesting cars.

Is the Noble going properly now?

There's a trackday on the 12th. I might try and get to that if work allows.

I'm still waiting to see the new and improved Noble on track biggrin
