Am racing at Castle Combe on easter weekend, but will not have seen let alone driven on the track prior to qualifying!

Am therefore hoping to track down some online in car video footage of the track to help me make my circuit guide book somehow 'real'. (Did this with Spa last year with great success.)

Hope someone can help.

I'm doing a Track Day there on the Easter Saturday. This is from last year.

Fun circuit.

Or have a look here if that link doesn't work:

A lap in the 2003 TVR Tuscan Challenge race.

I get sucked into the right on the approach to Quarry, partly because I was trying to pass - but it is a common mistake. You want to keep left over Avon rise (careful on the brakes, easy to lose it over there) to give a good run through Quarry

Have fun!

However, be VERY careful attempting to pass someone on the left over there though as it only takes them to underestimate your required room by a small amount and you are left with a very expensive repair bill (or no car as in my case ). (Fortunately all the pictures appear to have disappeared from the NET)

Have a look at www.radicalmotosport.com there is a video there.
The most important corner there is Camp - it is very quick and leads onto the longest section of the track. The corner is deceptive as there is a false apex and then the corner opens up. Don't know what you are racing but in good conditions in a slicks and wings car, it is just a dab of braking down into 4th and back on the power. After that the chicanes are very important and quicker than you will initially think. Have fun and hold you breath for quarry...

Driving a mk1 Lotus Cortina. Definitely expect to be holding tight at certain points!
