Going on the 30th for a trackday, taking both toys.
Just want to know what to expect really, facilities, food/drink, pit set up etc etc.

Cheers.

I have been a few times but for test days not track days.

Has a very good cafe on site

Was gonna say, most important thing is you can get a good fried breaky in their cafe!

Look out for the two young lads whos old man owns the place. The oldest one is 22 and has a 355 and a noble which he drives with the arse out everywhere. Performance bmw let him drive the new m6 for photos cos he was better at drifting than their editor and he popped a tyre off the rim.

The youngest on is only 19 and was ragging an slk last time i was there.

They are nice chaps though. Proper petrol heads always willing to talk cars and always in knackered clothes covered in oil cos they work on their own stuff.

Cafe is great!

The runway is ok for blasting down but I didn't like it when I did a trackday there. The surface is mega bumpy and skitty under hard cornering which can make it harder to push on the limit. Add to this the fact that trees line the runway so if you do come off it could well hurt!

lots of stone chips is the downside

Cafe does nice bacon butties

Its ok but the main drag is very 'stoney'.... Which i wasnt expecting

But its all good fun

Doh

yes agree with that!

The havent repaired the surface in YEARS!

You cant use it everyday and expect it to last lol.

But they do

I know one trackday organiser who has dropped them over this issue!

I've been loads for test days but also did a trackday there once. I had VERY low hopes of the trackday to be honest as its just a airfield BUT it was surprisingly good actually! had a really good day

why do they stop us people having a good time there?
if your car is road legal then you should be ale to drive it there and back AND spank it about on the air stipr

pee vee

thats you fooked then Rod
mind you, they'd have to catch you first lol

The story I heard was the local council was cracking down on the noise, the owners threatened the council that if they complain about the noise from cars, they will return it to use as an airfield and see how they like the noise then!

pee vee

things like this make me laugh,
Same story with a couple of places round here.
IF you move next to an airfield or a racetrack, Dont fookin complain
they been trying to get castle combe shut down for years!
