Went up to Castle Combe this weekend for the Forge Performance Car Action Day. Great day out with a vast variety of cars and minimal amount of 'chav' content.
Following my short lived track session last year (Fiesta in wall brought out the red flags), I said I'd never do another track session at an action day again purely for the amount of accidents and loons out for pub bragging rights, however a chap on Pistonheads said that he had a slot free in a dedicated Skoda session which I felt brought a lesser risk of being taken out.
Castle Combe is a very fast circuit and the Clio was overtaken by many a mapped Diesel Skoda on the straights but as expected excelled through the Chicanes. Really enjoyed my session and hope to get back to another, more twisty track, once I've replaced my clutch (release bearing has gone) and various bits.
