Any PH'ers at Castle Combe on Friday? (21-08-09)

Just booked my day for Friday to shake down the Beemer.

Are any other PH'er attending?

I was there in my girlfriends black Fiesta Zetec S (with it's whole 99bhp!), as my Rallye spat it's clutch out a couple of weeks ago. I was under strict orders not to damage it!!
Despite being the lowest powered car I expect by some margin and 100% standard down to the pads! I certainly enjoyed hustling it along and even over taking a few people, wasn't the mobile chicane I was expecting by a long stretch

Saw your car in the paddock but I dont think I watched one of your group's sessions. How did you get on in the rain? Certainly showed up the drivers who were not quite as commited in my grouping

Don't suppose you got any pictures on the day? I took my camera...with a flat battery, doh!

Cheers.

In the rain it was like an ice rink, oversteer-understeer-oversteer in every corner, I got abit frustrated so started just using it as a drift day until the track dried out, welded diff wasn't helping matters in the wet either.

Combe is a great circuit though, really makes you st yourself as you are about to spin off heading towards the barriers.

I've had a look though and didn't get you in the background of any of my paddock shots, here are some from the day though:

Hi
I was at Castle Combe on 18th and 21st last week and have downloaded some pictures to my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32315868@N03/
They are not that good but at least are a record of the day - feel free to copy any pictures but I would appreciate some sort of feedback, even if only to say could do better.

Oops, thanks I will change the details.
I thought it was going rather well for a 2 ltr.
