Spring Performance Car Action Day, Castle Combe, Saturday 26th April.

Post 676830 by stribo on 2014-01-02 22:52:40

Last years event wasn't very well attended owing to only having 4 weeks to organise it, so this year everyone's got plenty of notice. It's a great event, sort of a mini Trax if you like, with plenty of track action (track time is available @£30 if booked before 26/2. Entrance is free for up to 10 cars, then £12 a car after that, though the cost will be shared by everyone attending e.g. if 15 cars attend then it'll cost £60, shared between 15 would be £4 each. Passengers over £17 are 12 in advance, and £15 on the day, under 17s go free. The booking form has to be in at the end of the month, so get your names down A.S.A.P.

[QUOTE=T5frankie;679988]how long on track do you get?[/QUOTE] 15 minutes, same as Trax.

Post 680117 by T5frankie on 2014-01-13 18:54:53

seems alot of money, can get a whole day on a track for £95

[QUOTE=T5frankie;680117]seems alot of money, can get a whole day on a track for £95[/QUOTE] It's the same price as Trax. T5D5 have a day at Castle Combe later in the year, that's £160.

[QUOTE=stribo;680119]It's the same price as Trax. T5D5 have a day at Castle Combe later in the year, that's £160.[/QUOTE] trax is a massive event mate at silverstone, so is worth it, look at this for example, full open pit lane, the whole day for £99 http://www.clubmsv.com/car-home/event-details.aspx?productid=2126

Also the track sessions were over crowded at Trax last year, at Combe, there's a bit more room to move.

Post 680122 by T5frankie on 2014-01-13 19:26:05

[QUOTE=WOODY T5;680155]would do cadwell again if its on the cards dave[/QUOTE] Just the timing. My Birthday is in a month. I hope if the C70 holds together to get some time on Cadwell Park - probably with Club MSV.

the price per hour for castle combe is too high for my liking.

[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;680209]the price per hour for castle combe is too high for my liking.[/QUOTE] Welcome to the south. ;) I'd like to do Cadwell PArk, but this is more than just a trackday, as it's a car show, with drift displays which are normally entertaining.
