Well done Stuart looks like a great event, even better that it's only £25 to get out on the track.

Been to a few forge action days with other clubs at Combe, interesting to say the least, the on track action was good but the off track action was even better..

Any muppet can turn up and flash a bus pass to get on track, and drive like a cock, the AA were kept busy in the paddock with the poxhalls and spaxos, just got here sir and it was making a funny noise eerrr,,,when it was running..

Hopefully kitcar drivers will be a little more civil to each other

Wonder when the website will let us actually purchase tickets for this event.

I'm lead to believe that the Castle Combe Website is currently being updated and that people will be able to start purchasing tickets in a week or two.

to keep things simple they have added a camping only option at £8, this means that if you show up in a kit car and stay to camp for one or two nights, go on track for a parade only on Sunday then it is only gonna cost £8 for a great weekend. Love it. Truth is when you see everyone having a great time on the track you will no doubt be tempted to book a session.
Don't forget to register to get your free tickets, if you do book in advance for a track session then its only £25!
