Castle Combe trackday
Discussion
It was unnerving on the last washy day, sprinting back and forth on that wet road with the back end twitching and the fence in closeprox, the run off is even less in places at combe, seen too many cars stuffed to know how dangerous the place is ! fun you call it, would rather take my chances on the motorway !

Anyone interested in doing a track day at Castle Combe ? They book direct for £165 and I'll be booking the 17 May or 14 June public dates, but prefer the company of Lotuses.
PS its not a great venue for a "first track day".
I might be up for one of those let me know which one you're doing. Hoping to be at combe on the 24th may on the bike though so don't know if i can do both

I think TonyD should look for commision on:
1) New trackday insurance business
2) Fireproof racewear
Considering how some retailers and insurers have benefitted from his unfortunate fire, the wedge will help get Satan (his car) back on the road.
I can't afford to underwrite the value of my car so it's always insured on track - all the policies seem to be trade-off though.
IMO a plumbed in extinguisher is a far better investment than fireproof gear for trackdays. I know Tonys failed but there has to be a good reason behind that.
If you want fireproof gear, get a full set of CarbonX underwaer which is the same price as a 2 layer Nomex suit.
This is how long Nomex lasts with a blowtorch on it: www.chapmaninnovations.com/products/carbonx.php

We have got Coombe booked on the 27th June and 12th Oct. Lots of Lotus, TVR, Ferrari etc to play with. We also have a few ARDS instructors on hand for advice, and a few technical chaps as well. Email me if anyone is interested. Sorry for the blatant advertisement!!!!
Doing Brands evening on the 26th june, would be a good couple of days
