Yep I will be there, 100th round of the Saloons tomorrow and the opportunity for a track walk at lunchtime looking at the cars, should be great.

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Might do it depends on the weather TBH

Combe is fun to watch in the wet.

Shame I have a BMW detail to do with Brazo tomorrow so I won't be able to make it along.

Unbelievable day, rain is not a problem but the wind was mad. Some of the biggest crashes I can remember, Keith Murray's 140mph+ crash at Avon Rise/Quarry in his A4 was immense, came clean off the ground, smacked the tyre wall and he and his car somehow got back onto the circuit within seconds and carried on.

The three virtually identical Ferrari 360s in the Castle Combe GTs are a great sight, but my favourite has to be the road-legal Exige (which I've seen around Trowbridge, Honda engine apparently), few road cars make such easy meat of the Radicals etc.

exige has got a supercharged honda civic type r engine 300 bhp so the driver said. Sounds unreal!
