I'm going. But had a go last week in Tamora and didn't really like the track. Not cos I broke Tam, but just didn't enjoy the track

I'm one of the 7 so far , been watching Perry's videos but not getting much "feel" for the track
all reports say it's bumpy which doesn't suit my car so I'm going softer with spring rates F 600 R 450
using last years rubber as it's not worth a new set for only 2 meetings and don't think the new touring car sizes will fit on front end of the car, looking forward to seeing all old and new drivers , Chris

Don't be watching my vids I speed them up on movie maker first, before uploading them wink;) Track has been tarmacked a year or so ago. Not many bumps now. A few going into the curve leading to Quarry stay 750mm to right of apex if you can without crashing, again a few at the Apex of Tower and the worst for me is the exit onto westway , I stay a metre over to the left at that right kink, been in the weeds a few times on the right there . mind you better than the Armco on the left. Fast as you like, is Combe

If there's a serious PH contingent at this then I might pop over (I live a few miles away) and take some photos... having not been before, is the racing close?

Hi Perry , very generous of you to share that information . Stay 750mm away from the apex !!! , if I can get within a yard of any apex I consider it a result .
PS are there power hook ups in the paddock or do we need gennys

Hi Chris,
I'm all for sharing info etc it's only club racing after all, not F1 and you still have to put it into practice to get a good lap. Combe is great and is much maligned because of the lack of run off. Well the "Green Hell" has even less and is considered the all time greatest race track. Most of the top manufacturers all covert the fastest lap round there in there sales blurb. I think Combe is great because it makes you drive precisely and is fast as you like. Going through Folly flat in a tasty car takes some big kahuna's which no dought Tim has as he was flat through Blanchimont which I have not managed yet. No power in the paddock jenny's required and there are plenty of drinking water taps all over.

Change that to no water near , according to the paddock plan they have put the TVR,s the furthest they can away from the paddock down towards quarry not even in the overflow paddock. good job it's not forecast much rain as that area is all grass. and miles from anything
