Default Fast Ford at Combe, who's havin' it?

I LOVE Castle Combe action days, a few off here have come along with us before, well i have sorted out a little deal-

Saturday 25th April will see Castle Combe's first Action Day of the year. The Performance Car Action Day has been a sell out for the last couple of years and Fast Ford Magazine have teamed up with the circuit to provide readers with a great money saving offer.

We have booked a Fast Ford session at 12.45 exclusively for Fast Ford staff and readers. Not only will you be on circuit with like minded drivers and owners but you will also save money. Book with the circuit for £38 per car and driver which includes the track pass and the admission ticket and the circuit will provide, free of charge an extra admission ticket. If purchased on the day this same package will cost you £55 so you can save money and have a great time. This offer is limited to just 28 drivers and when it's gone, it's gone.

And there is more. The circuit will reserve a special display area for Fast Ford and all those taking part in this exclusive session will receive a vehicle pass to park in the designated spot, so creating a great on the day atmosphere.

Castle Combe Circuit has some of the strictest noise limits in the country and your car will need to pass the stringent noise test 100dba at 4500 revs, plus you must attend a safety briefing and agree to follow the track rules. If you have never been on circuit before then don't worry, you drive at your pace and of course everyone is free to purchase additional track time subject to availability either in advance or on the day.

Book on line now at www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk or telephone 01249 782417 or email maria@castlecombecircuit.co.uk.


So, who's having it??


I'll be there in my Bonus, Puma and fingers crossed my FRST....who you callin' greedy??

Must say when my lot did the show last year and the year before, we still remember it as being the best track day to date.

Such a laugh in the paddock area with the gang and the track is just awesome!

Aye, bring it...

Sorted a space for us, have done the past few times we've gone.

If there is massive interest, i will just arrange a bigger area.

One of the best days out was Eurofest when we had a little clan of us, BBQ and scrubbed tyres, ace day.

Luca, Dan, Jano and a few others were there that day, was quality.

I've yet to have a shit day at Combe. LOVE it!!

25th, I'll be there for sure, but ain't takin my car out.
Prefer to watch the experienced guys tear it up.

It's in the diary, and I've never had a bad spectator day either.
Normally do RS Combe and Rally Day as well

Yip-ya.

Need some more attendees though. If it's clear and dry and the ST isn't too dirty, I won't feel compelled to hide it away......

Will you be handing out all the FF freebies then Neil.??
