Track time

[Chip-mk1]

Will CS be booking track time, or just show entry passes?

 

[Adam G]

I'd be up for a group session if poss.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah would be good to be out at once.

Im after the 2 open pitlane sessions and a few 15 mins sessions so would sooner book through the club if they are doing it so the organisers can see the club supporting the event as much as possible.

 

[Bobby.]

Ill be booking track time when it comes up.

be nice to go out with a few Cs members.

I'm interested in doing some track time chip but not really been on track much.
Mind you don't know what car I we be bringing yet.

 

[Pete.]

Might book one of the longer sessions. When are they putting these up for sale? Keep checking on their Facebook page but no news or details.

FCS Manage the track sessions, we won't be having anything to do with that.

 

[Adam G]

Looks like somebody needs to get a group buy type thing sorted. After getting Paypaled.

I'd be interested in doing 1 or 2 15min sessions. Will I need to bring my own helmet or can will you be able to rent them on the day? Never been on track before, so should be a relaxed environment for my first go

If you want a relaxed enviornment for your first time out, don't do this. People usually go out all guns blasing as they've only got 15 mins to have a blast. For a relaxed environment book a normal open pit lane track day or one of the novice days that msv do.

 

[Adam G]

^Absolutely.
Need to be EVEN MORE alert than normal on these days.

 

[Clio_Scott92]

ill be well up for this! prices asap please.

 

[rdoxenham]

ill be well up for this! prices asap please.

Definitely +1

 

[Chip-mk1]

The prices have already been posted, but booking not available yet.

 

[Clio_Scott92]

ok when booking is avalible i would like a few slots.

 

[Chip-mk1]

As per the replies above, you cant get them on here, we will all have to each go to the FCS site and book them.

 

[Rich_172]

I wanna do at least one of the open pitlane sessions

 

[Lawro]

Prices and booking released now, £25 a session or £75 for a 120 minute open pit lane session either morning or afternoon.

​Sponsered by CookSport.

 

[Bobby.]

Just booked one session, will be nice to see what the 197 is like on track.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ive booked a few sessions and one of the open pitlanes, should be a good day hopefully

I wonder how smoothly the open pit lane joining and leaving is going to go though.

 

[Bobby.]

I wonder how many cars they allow in each open pit lane group. Probably not allowed more than a normal track day I suspect so it might be quite a relaxed environment as far as 'show track days' go.

As for the £25 sessions, I expect them to be madness lol.

 

[Chip-mk1]

The 25 pounds sessions are only 20 cars per session, so on a 2 mile long track I dont think it will be madness at all, im used to be out on action days with twice that number or sometimes even more.

 

[Bobby.]

Thats not too bad then. Last one I Did was at lydden hill and their must of been 20+ cars on track at once and that circuit is only 1 mile long. That day was madness, never again.

 

[Chip-mk1]

I love the busy sessions TBH, but they can be dangerous.

 

[Bobby.]

I do enjoy being around others and chasing cars down but when its too busy it just get rediculous, people start getting impatient and start driving Like tw@ts, over taking in corners and brake zones.

Any idea how many cars are normally on for the Castle Combe Spring and Summer Action Days?

40ish I reckon.

​

 

[axnxdxy]

40ish I reckon.

​

This'll be empty then! I hadn't booked any due to needing a new clutch, however I now have the option to have a 2 hour open bit from a friend who's engine has gone pop, or a 15 minute session from a friend who is taking their car off the road when his insurance is up at the end of this month.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Can someone set up a gopro on quarry corner so we can have a "muppets of FCS" crash compilation?

 

[Bobby.]

(Note to self, take it easy at quarry corner)

 

[Chip-mk1]

Last time I heard the stats 25% of trackday accidents resulting in damage happened at quarry corner.

Thats not a stat for combe, its a stat for the UK!


Personally its more likely I will crash at camp, quarry generally just catches out the noobs, its camp that wipes out the veterans.

 

[Christopher.]

What do we reckon about the open pit sessions ?

How many cars on track at one time and how many queuing ? Seen it done at Goodwood a couple of time and people were queuing for the best part of an hour ! Id imagine there will be more out on track as its Combe though.

 

[.LiamC.]

It may be staring me in the face, but, do we need to bring our Counterpart Driving Licences with us for the track time?

 

[Jamie86]

Not usually at Combe you just put your driving licence number on a form you fill in, although may be different for FCS

 

[.LiamC.]

I can't see it anywhere on the yellow form, but I take it anyway I think, just to be safe.

 

[SharkyUK]

I'd take both parts to be on the safe side mate. Sometimes you get asked / checked, sometimes not.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Depends on the day, on the Ford RS Owners club days they insist on both parts.

As its FCS though I doubt they will give a monkeys if you have a license or not.

 

[Bobby.]

LOL! ^^^

seat belts and helmets are advised?

 

[Chip-mk1]

LOL! ^^^

Lol.


Just in case anyone thinks you are serious though, yes combe's insurance definately stipulates you must wear a crash helmet, and a seatbelt or harness
