Castle Combe 15th/16th July

Is there a cut off or a latest arrival time for Friday night?
Do we have a postcode for where we are parking as it doesn't seem to be on their map, just an arrow pointing to Leigh Delamere services

Give Castle Combe a call. From memory the last time we raced there they had security on the gate in the evening.........

As Maureen says security as such on gate 24hrs should be able to get in till certainly midnight, although no one will talk to you in the morning if you make a lot of noise setting up at that time of night. use the main competitors entrance turn immediately left after security and go towards folly through the outer paddock onto the road that runs along the track. post code is on the combe web site.

hi Perry, still buzzing after the last race, don't forget to post up your video if you have any would love to watch that, see you on the 12th of august

Perry/Tim ,
Great race from the pair of you 👍
We thoroughly enjoyed watching it, Tim how did you manage that, you told me you were gonna have a good go and you certainly did!
Perry the way you shot from the back of the grid was tremendous.....
Pity it got cut a little (due to the air ambulance ), that said it was brill, Perry you have a good one there in Debs she was routing all the way for you mate, give her a big hug she deserves it!

We were also impressed with Oliver in the Taz, George said he reminded him of Daniel Ricardo....think he was referring to his massive continuous smile😀, Ole you did a cracking job v.well done, we need more Taz's out there...

Alan did a Stirling job too, in at the deep ( GTF Sag with AJP), it was good to see how your confidence and smile great over quali and the three races good to meet you, nice that your car is in safe hands with Terry, Michael and Luke....you see Ginny's lemon drizzle did the trick again😜
Dave shame about the Griff, as you well know that was a big off, but you walked away, which obviously the most important thing, hope that the journey back home wasn't too painful good luck with repair.....
George and me hadn't managed to get along in 12 months, we were made to feel v.welcome by ALL of you.
As National Events bloke for the TVRCC (along with Richard Walton) I would like to see more members at these races, I will do my best to achieve that, let's see what the future holds.....

thanks again,
George and Steve

top knotch racing Tim, Powrcrazy Motorsport agree with me after watching the video footage several times this morning,that race was something special from you. not dropping out of the 1:10's every lap all race. Mighty impressive man.

enjoy.......................................... https://youtu.be/oOCB3jFirns

Well that was a good watch
I got a loooooong way to go yet. I need to brake later, accelerate earlier, and trust my aero, and mostly get her off the line better. but apart from that little list, it's going well and I'm having fun

[tbdgriff500]

bloody epic, lived every corner again as if I was in the car again, thank you so much for videoing that, anyone who is thinking of going racing just bloody do it, life is too short not too, your wives or husbands will forgive you!!! honestly lol. thank you Perry for some great racing, will seriously think about racing in the castle combe challenge with you next year, i would also like to thank the marshals at combe great guys and girls so friendly all weekend and have to say the best spectators i have ever seen anywhere, what a great bunch of people, i have never seen such enthusiastic motorsport fans, and of course a massive thank you to Rob and Gary from BOSS Racing who made it all possible especially changing gear box after failure in race one.

HiPerry. Best e-mail is [e-mail]

Just wanted to thank everyone sincerely for their concern, help and support over the weekend! It really does mean a lot! The journey home was long and uncomfortable but the pain killers are helping! Like has been said the car definately did its job and stood up very well, a testimant to how strong these cars really are... We will be back next year - hoping to drop the car out of the trailer to assess the damage better later this week.

Thanks

Dave

Great racing Tim and Perry - just looked up the 2009 DTEC times at CC...... both Danny Winstanley in his green Tuscan and Marc Hockin in the now Keith VW's Tuscan posted best laps in the 1.08 secs - wow!

[mjlloyd500]

they are a proper couple of drivers just kidding

No longer mine Richard, Tim has it now!

Looking at the lap times, the old M may still be in with a chance of running with the class C guys...

Interesting
