Some of you may have seen this on my FB, if not and you fancy a day at Combe for not a lot of money then get booking - it's even a weekend so no time off work required biggrin

Not sure what car I'll be in yet - might have to be Legacy due to noise (100db static) but not too bothered as just fancy ticking Castle Combe off the list. Bought some cans for the Cerb though so may still be doable in that.

I'm
certainly interested although I can't see a minimum age on the site ?? Nor can I see whether or not you need an MSA helmet ??
Although I am looking at it on a small
iPhone screen if anyone knows it'd be a great help smile

If not I'll give them
a ring tomurrow.

Depending on how much it costs to get the M3 back from Phil this time I might be up for that, looks like a bargain and I think my rear tyres will need killing around then! smile

Don't think they run and age thing, only requirement seems to be a driving licence.
Helmets I am sure they don't enforce MSA, certainly never had my helmet checked at a TD. Have a Snell2005 rated one now but used to just use a standard motorbike helmet before that and never had any problems. Failing that they rent helmets for a tenner anyway if really stuck.

Stop thinking and just get it booked, £119 is the advance early buy price thingamy, so not sure how long it will be at that. Personally going to be having a go at finally breaking my diff so I can spec up a nice Quaife one hehe

I did a day there in October (Although I was a passenger) and used a non current karting helmet. No one seemed bothered as long as you were wearing some kind of helmet!

Do it!

I went to an Audi Driver day a few years back and the track was very greasy and a little foggy. I wasn't going to take the car out on the track but there were only about 6 other cars on the track, it was a blast! driving

I may come along to watch but I doubt I'll participate. I'm not sure the Chim would pass the noise test either... biglaugh

This sounds rather appealing, not sure whether the Octy would stand up to a bit of rough and tumble though, but what the heck if I've got the spare cash then I'll book up! biggrin

I reckon you'd do more than £495 worth of damage in a day hehe
