Combe totally rocks. A great circuit suited to the cars.

Pete, you still have a car don't you? Can I suggest you get it out and worry less about selling it? :fence: :vroom: ;)

It was amazing, as I said it was my first track day, the car was just so good.
Sadly my mate who came up with me had a big off, in his Exige 350s. Eeeek!!

Run-offs? Pah. 20 feet of grass before the Armco barriers. Welcome to Castle Combe. >:D

I did Castle Combe last month and never again. Way to much to hit, I was always worried about going off with no run off's and loads of armco. Only place worse is the Nurbergring.

Suggest you come up to Anglesey with us at the end of September and then you will see what a proper track is like in an Atom

Sounds like a plan Mark.

Thank you

Combe is a great track, you just gotta be careful... And its local to me so i guess i am biased.

I have only ever hit the grass once on someone else's fluid spill.

It was interesting though. Big snap of oversteer on the straight! >
