Supercar Saturday 22nd Oct Castle Combe
Discussion
Tried to contact organisers for info on times, prices, no. of laps etc but no luck. I'm aspiring to an Atom or Radical for my next track car so would like to get a feel for them on track. I'm planning on going to the kit car show in Exeter the same day so if anyone could enlighten me on the best time to go to avoid too much waiting I'd be grateful.
As i understand it the event opens to visitors around 9am with first runs 9.30ish - you pay for a session which is an out lap 3 laps and a cool down - so in car for 5 for the price - not sure if all cars and all drivers are the same price - others may have better info but i think its £20/30 a session which seems good for punters and good for the charity
Hope to see you there - ill be in a blue atom with carbon aerofoils - heres hoping for a dry day ;-)

Thanks FT, found out a bit more since finding the thread in the South West section (note to self: stop skim reading the threads!). Would love a few laps in the atom - tried before with a 'professional racing driver' at Blyton but he binned it ter only half a lap... Will hopefully be there mid afternoon so see you then.
I went and had 5 laps in a Radical SR3 Supersport which was just silly fast - my friend decided on an Ultima V8 and I reckon the Radical was 12 secs plus quicker... However, fun ride of the day was 7 or 8 laps with Anthony Reid in a MG ZS saloon car with oversteer issues - that man cannot help race and we found every kerb and more as well as both lockstops... Hilarious and humbling
It seemed to be a successful day for the Charity - the fantastic late Oct must have helped - I took 14 passengers round in the Atom - real mix from a pensioner to several young lads and girls as well as a few petrol heads - the 2 hrs 30 driving back to London was tough but it was worth it

What happened today Rob , i seen you there chatting to a bloke by the side of your trailer , next your gone and a mate comes in and tells me he has just seen you going the other way on your way home ....
First time the Evo has let me down. I went out in the setup session, two laps in, entering Bobbies Chicane there was a really loud bang from the back end. A rear drop link had sheared off from the ARB. An interesting moment of recovery followed, then a return home on the trailer. Seeking new HD droplinks for the old girl now ;o)) I am afraid it was game over right from the start.
