2 of the ff1600 in the pics belong to my boss - 81 with josh fisher and oli roberts in 80. looks like oli had another off to be sporting a white side pod and rear cover not sitting correctly!

yeh i have but it dosent give u no details what soprt of cars are gonna be there i wanna see the le man type racing cars

 

[rusty82]

le man type cars?! you mean the gt's? combe only run the cc gt championship for those type of cars. up to 2 or 3 years ago they used to run a weekend dedicated to the top end of racing with f3's and the british gt's but the locals got pee'd off with speeding and noise so put a noise restriction order on the circuit so meant that they couldnt hold on to those races anymore, think the lmit for racing is 105!

if you look on the cc website you'll see racing events section in there is a list of dates (now past) that you can click on and read a rough list of whats on. a week or 2 prior to the event they will post a copy of the time table too.

Cheers mate, that was going into Tower, it's very very quiet down there! Can get good 'going into the corner' shots or you can swivel round and get head-on braking shots (i.e. pic 2, the Civic), quite a nice little spot when you've only got 280mm to play with

Season is over now (as it is pretty much everywhere) but each year you get a full calendar at the end of Feb on the Castle Combe site, then about two weeks before each event you can download a full entry list (timetable and every single car/driver entered) from the site as well.

I only have 20mm more lol!

Nice one, know where you mean, sun has always been wrong when I have tried to shoot from there - was no worries on that yesterday.
