EVENTS.COM I am the second car to book Anyone else fancy a spin? CASTLE COMBE TRACK DAY We are thrilled to announce our second track day at Castle Combe Circuit in Wiltshire. Our first event there in June was a sell out and due to popular demand we have secured another event at this popular track. Places are strictly limited and are on a first come first served basis. Book online now to avoid missing out! Friday 29th August £199 Open Pit Lane = Unlimited Track Time! Customer comments from our June event included: 'Just wanted to say a quick thank you. In 5 years of doing trackdays I have never been to a circuit track day that has been so well organised, free from stoppages and had such a friendly attitude from other drivers when out on track. Definitely one to remember!' Once again the day will be overseen by our very own Ed Moore who has unrivalled knowledge of Castle Combe and has won over 30 races outright at this track. Who better to ask advice for negotiating the tricky approach into Quarry corner or for understanding how to maximise your exit speed out of Camp corner? In car coaching will be available from our regular team of superb instructors who are race winners at Castle Combe. 20 minute lessons are excellent value at £20 and an hour of coaching spread through the day is only £50.

If I can get the day off work and possibly get Hoang to come along and pay half I might go. Do you know anywhere I can go to get my exhaust noise level tested as I don't want to pay the £199 to turn up and find my car is over the 100db limit. I'm running GTT manifold with decat and reroute pipe on standard exhaust (minus one silencer) and is very very noisey. | ||

I passed last time on 101DbA but a scooby on 125 was turned away.Just go to any tuner company who should be able to do this for you. Hope to see you there M Support Our Heros http:// www.helpforheroes.or g.uk/ http:// www.presentsformen.c o.uk/product-PFM- Help-for-Heroes-Mug- 6461/ http:// www.thesun.co.uk/ sol/homepage/news/ article492159.ece http:// www.artfund.org/ queenandcountry/ index.php http:// www.santalash.co.uk/ charity.html | ||

I need a cheap airfield day first with some long instruction as the Tango-mobile is VERY different to drive to the MINI. Plus it tops out at 115 at the mo due to a low diff so It'll be a bit slow on the straights... | ||
