Keyser Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi All, Hoping to get my baby back this week so just wondered if anyone fancied a track day at Castle Combe on Friday the 7th September - or just wanted to come along and see if she blows up on her shake down run Only provisionally gauging interest at the moment Jez - what you up to on the 7th, I know you like to throw yours round Combe - Should see you before then anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 That's one day prior to a 2 day detail for me, BUT I'll be there, are we taking ALL day Friday as I'll take the day off to come down. I'll wash your car as you come into the pits... Keyser : Give it a once over Wasso Wasso : No probs guv A short while later... Keyser : What the hell you up to lad, need to get back out there Wasso : Don't worry just giving the bitch a quick clay Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Good circuit - lots of grip if its dry - ice rink if it rains - standing water Not much space to get it wrong though - run offs are .... errrr small They have a day on the 7th and another on the 21st September track info - http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/ Another option could be Keevil Airfield? bit cheaper as well They have Friday 31st August and Saturday 22nd September Not been there yet - apparently plenty of runoff space Anyone done Keevil? See how many are interested and when - we can go from there When is G not on holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 What's the cost for the day if driving can't be bothered to look at web page currently killing on mw3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 What's the cost for the day if driving can't be bothered to look at web page currently killing on mw3 CC = £170 a day 1 car and 1 driver Keevil £99 Friday £109 Saturday 1 car and 1 driver - Keevils is open pit so you would get more time out prolly.

Ekona Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Keevil is a decent airfield, bit abrasive but then they all are really. I like it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Oooooo sounds like a fun day, id be tempted to come along to watch but im away on holiday for the first week in september. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Keevil is great but a little restricting, old airfield coned into a circuit. Any form of racing or dodgy over taking will get you black flagged as me and captain will tell you. On the other hand it is cheaper and very safe and still really good fun for testing your car, you can google some vids which will give you some indication what the circuit is like. Castle Combe, only been a passenger there, the run off sections scare me, but I really do like the track, much more of a drivers circuit and more exciting to drive imo. Hope to be there where ever you choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Perhaps the airfield will be a better option for a Shake down, make sure everything is properly back together, wouldn`t want to put it in the tyres after all the hard work, sweat blood & tears you have put in I am a little biased as I`m due a new set of tyres Will knows what happens with me & airfields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I see we share the same "New Hobby" Darran" Except its my favourite pastime:) But what I fail to understand is why you have nailed some old fence post to that semi your holding?
