good day at combe today

[martin thomas]

Had a quality day at combe again today. The atmosphere is always very good also relaxed. Spent most of the day in the stripped out red m3 but took the evo out for one session. Chalk and cheese comes to mind, After wrestling with the m3 all morning which happens to suit my driving style, The evo mrfq360 is definately a point and squirt machine.lol only done one session in the evo as i didn't want to pick up any stonechips(sad i know)
cheers

What is the set up with the Combe open pit days?

Im going to be booking up the 8th of August.

Is it run is sessions, ie. certain times for novice, intermediate, expert/advanced or a free for all?

How much actual driving time do you get?

Cheers.

The set up on Friday was that the whole turn out was split into 3 groups, we then had roughly 15 mins sessions each, so you had 15 mins on track every 45 mins. This was loads of track time, and was a very good day, especially as it didnt rain until the last session.

They normally give you 15 mins per hour as the turn out is split into 4 sessions, but this is still plenty of track time if you ask me.

Yeh, thought it would be something like that.

Did you get more than 6 sessions in then?

Just asking because on an action day its £30 per session or £25 if you book in advance, so just wandering if it works out cheaper to do the £170 day?

You will get about 7 or 8 sessions, which is more than enough as even after your session you are still considering what you did wrong and how to correct it. At the end of the day your brain will be crying out for the simplicity of the A350 or M4 rather than having to compute all the braking, turning in and accelerating points :P

The quality of the other drivers will also be better than on the action days so it'll help you learn more, and you wont have Big Bazzza who has only one session booked and is trying to show off to his massive what a racing legend he is (before getting a close up of the tyre wall at Quarry).

Cool, thanks mate.

Ive done a few action days and as you say, some of the driving standards are a bit dubious.

Think Im going to book up for the 8th of Aug.
