Forge Motorsport Action Day Crash

[Bluebeard]

Ouch,

That's the only track I feel uneasy about driving round, and I haven't even been round it. :S Perhaps it's not for the faint hearted.

Wouldn't mind a passenger lap around it with someone who's pretty confident there though.

Its fine. I reckon I've done 20+ track days there and i'm no Jenson Hamilton.

Wonder if it had fancy brake pads that needed heat in them to get them to work? Looks like shes completely off line anyway so ended up in an understeery mess

The ammount of people on that video taking the wrong line on that corner is astounding, I had tuition round combe and got quicker and quicker all day, wouldnt fancy heading into quary doing 130-140 like some of the big power stuff would be doing, I've seen many of the back ends come out under braking because drivers take the wrong line

My mates Astra I mapped and have driven at combe can do over 150mph there, the real serious stuff is 170mph+ by the rise I believe.

Never done castle combe as its not a proper track

Looks like lack of talent to me but whos to say.

Castle Combe + Action Day = Crashes.

Been the same for years lol.

too true

I'm often up at Combe yeah, I'm 15 minutes up the road and a couple of mates have 205 Gti track weapons so I head over with them. Although commitments this year have meant I've not been over as often as I usually would.

Where abouts do you live mate? Im in Malmesbury, id love to have a nosey of the Civic before you sell it!

I think you can see the brake lights go on for the first time in the clip. Ambition exceeded ability for me.

Thats what i was thinking. Looks to be very very very late braking.

He has posted on piston heads saying he simply went in too fast and it was his own driver error not a mechanical problem.

 

[Englebert]

The speed of the car as it entered shot does look like didn't hit the brakes anywhere soon enough.

Hard to believe the various excuses when these Castle Combe days are notorious!

Blimey ...... simply amazed he thought that was the entry speed and where he seems to be isn't the line carrying speed like that , i mean i have seen people go in hot but that was ridiculous

Castle Combe Chavaction Days strike again.

 

[skyinsurance]

I got down there early afternoon and tbh the whole day seemed plagued with incidents, there seemed to be long periods with nothing on the track except the emergency/response vehicles.

I've never been to Castle Combe and NOT seen at least 2 crashes, usually on camp corner!

It's most commonly in to quarry that the s**t hits the fan, people barrelling over Avon rise then trying to get on the brakes while the car is "light" over the crest. Followed by a trip into the cat litter/tyre barrier and a cheer from the spectators.
