Meet us at Morissons at 7.30, convoy there with us. If you buy a ticket on the gate you should be able to come on the stand with us. No one has bought Gareths track time yet to my knowledge, so thats a 10.00am session going spare, unless its been sold and i dont know about it.

Re: Castle Combe Spring Action Day 24/4/10
Hi clouse,
I'm with henry now, it's no problem coming on stand but yes you will have to pay to get in as all the tickets we have are allocated.
Post up on here if you're coming along, and whether you want to meet us at 7.30 in the morning.

Very, very, very good day! First experience in a 2.0l, first experience on track, 219 mile drive home via some AWESOME roads back towards Southampton.
For anyone who hasn't come to a Combe show and isn't sure, you will NOT regret it!
Cheers guys!!!

Re: Castle Combe Spring Action Day 24/4/10
Your car really is quick Mark. No way would my old 2.0 fiesta have done my gti-6, yet you sailed past Iain there. Its a 2.0, what inlet, exhaust etc is it running?

Re: Castle Combe Spring Action Day 24/4/10
It surprised me actually, I only got overtaken about 5 times for all 4 sessions, all of which were stripped out cars etc. Apparently one guy was getting the piss ripped out of him by the guys on his forum because I overtook him like he was standing still
Came over and had a chat, was a nice guy.
The engine is relatively standard at the moment. Only things to note is focus inlet, slightly lightened flywheel and si exhaust with xr2i downpipe and hollow cat.
I have all the other vids, i'll put in my thread.

Yeah, suppose only being 1wd cant of helped.
Those few bits seemed to have made it very quick, focus inlet is most likely helping the most. Usually people tend to run rs1800 inlets, which still feel like the engine is being suffocated high up the revs.
