I'm one of the 7 so far , been watching Perry's videos but not getting much "feel" for the track
all reports say it's bumpy Chris

Don't be watching my vids I speed them up on movie maker first, before uploading them ;) Track has been tarmacked a year or so ago. Not many bumps now. A few going into the curve leading to Quarry stay 750mm to right of apex if you can without crashing, again a few at the Apex of Tower and the worst for me is the exit onto westway , I stay a metre over to the left at that right kink, been in the weeds a few times on the right there . mind you better than the Armco on the left. Fast as you like, is Combe

Hi Perry , very generous of you to share that information . Stay 750mm away from the apex !!! , if I can get within a yard of any apex I consider it a result .
PS are there power hook ups in the paddock or do we need gennys

Hi Chris,
I'm all for sharing info etc it's only club racing after all, not F1 and you still have to put it into practice to get a good lap. Combe is great and is much maligned because of the lack of run off. Well the "Green Hell" has even less and is considered the all time greatest race track. Most of the top manufacturers all covert the fastest lap round there in there sales blurb. I think Combe is great because it makes you drive precisely and is fast as you like. Going through Folly flat in a tasty car takes some big kahuna's which no dought Tim has as he was flat through Blanchimont which I have not managed yet. No power in the paddock jenny's required and there are plenty of drinking water taps all over.

Change that to no water near , according to the paddock plan they have put the TVR,s the furthest they can away from the paddock down towards quarry not even in the overflow paddock. good job it's not forecast much rain as that area is all grass. and miles from anything

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

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.

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.
