Default Only 4 Weeks until RS Combe 2010 !!!!

Thats right just over 4 weeks till the premier event of the Ford calendar that is RS Combe.

This years date as you will all probably know is the 3rd of July.

You can expect all day track action with some of the fastest fords in the UK together with some other top marques.

This year will see the return of the Charity Hot Laps with some familiar cars and a few new additions to keep you all interested. I will annonce the line up a few weeks before the date.

As ever the Lunchtime Parade Lap will see some of the hotest and prestine Fords driving around the track. Further details are available on the website www.rscombe.com. Following this you'll see the return of the drift display including the awesome Declan Munnelly in his superb Green Mk2 Escort (subject to availability)!

Traders and Visiting clubs will all be listed closer to the date.

Price £10.00 in advance and £12.00 on the day

Bookings are being taken daily so whether Track is your thing, Concours or Static displays get booking!



All info at WWW.RSCOMBE.COM or Show Hotline 07761 914 949

RS COMBE THE MOTORSPORT EVENT FOR ALL

Pete that was my first time out on Coombe - ask Ryan as I had several grass cutting moments due to not knowing which bend was next

I was doing 135 approaching Avon Rise and on my previous slower attempts the back end was kicking out everytime and I guess I just went in a little too quick.

Damage was not very bad and I continued for the rest of the day until I ran out of fuel and snapped two studs off the reaar wheel - quick call to AA and got a free ride home

i think the fact you came in waaaaaaaay to hot and paniced at the top of avon rise, touched the breaks as the rear end of the car was light and rear got way out of shape, and the rest as they say is history.

to be fair the engine "highlighted" some areas which need attention, and car would have been alot better if they were better, i.e brakes, suspension and gearbox.

the box was fecking me off something cronic, wasted like 5-10 seconds a lap just trying to get it into 3rd and forth.

either way was an awesome day and cant thank you enough for the use of the car.

no probs mate - yes the brakes, suspension and box were shit

in fact still got the box in my mates workshop in dire need of a rebuild. Had been trying to break it for years but it never broke

the new 3dr will handle a lot better than the last

Engine went well all day too and gotta say it was awesome - in the 4 years i had it we never had to open it up and it took some serious abuse

anytime mate but its fair way off at the moment

defo went well above a 100 - was scary watching your speedo go up as quick as the rev counter

always gave the same amount of torque as bhp too
