Oh god no please not that, I get fed up enough of having to sit through the same tedious briefing again and again, let alone waste the first 2 minutes on track doing 60mph as well!

Castle Combe Action Day - Saturday 8th September

- Start date

Yes, sighting laps are boring but some are going out having never driven the circuit before. Last year I was first car out in a session having never driven a lap of Castle Combe. It could help stop so many people crashing.
It must have hit tyre wall quite fast judging by how badly the car and barrier was damaged.

From what was said at the time, it was his mrs car (the passenger).

Whichever has fuel
I hope her Father batters him!!
Doubt it would have been much over that given the car, second chicane is only about a 50mph is corner in that car I would think, and its not going to pile on masses of speed by camp, wonder if it was driver error or terrible brake fade
Looked like the brake lights were on for quite a while, so did appear he had tried for the brakes.
It was a 20v turbo I think, and i've no idea what speed I was turning into camp at today, but last year in a 2.0 8v seat toledo (that I really didn't care about, and bought with a mate to purely abuse around combe), I was turning into camp flat out in 4th without braking, and that was 90mph indicated speed (so about 80mph true I guess).
Sounds about right to me mate, 80 is typically about the most that you'll get through camp at in most normal road cars.
Was a busy day for jonboy and the corsa boys! Hope the cars have got home alright. Cracking deal you have got for the ring and spa!
Nice meeting you today mate, small world!

The bloke driving it was stood in front of my car while i was waiting for them to clean up the mess. it was him driving but he seemed fine no blood etc.

highly doubt it was brake fade as that was only about the 2nd lap.. my mate was in the yellow coupe pootling round on the same session. you can see it happen from a distance in his car.

The guy organised by the track doesn't have a site which is useful, although can get you contact details if you want..
Was a great day and I have an amazingly red face. Waiting to download my pics at the moment as I had a family barbecue at home when I got there. Nice to be informed of these things lol. I took 351 pics Paul!!! and binned loads of them for poor quality. Will start a couple of threads later.
I made a thread in clio media with a few pictures in so feel free to add yours
