worst action day ever!
How many red flags and the quality of driving was awful - people seem to forget the no overtaking bit in the corners yet there were signs clearly visible!

i got to agree, i have never seem so many red flags, truely shocking
the standard of cars was pretty shit too
and like wise the standard of driving
i was soooo glad i wasnt out on track, would had wound me up a treat,
i had a passenger rid with sib and we spent about an hour talking in pit lane waiting for all the carnage to be cleaned up
but we had a good session, with no red flags, we were out first, but soon caught the back markers, as the car and driver were awesome and was flying

Just got back, i didn,t think all the session were too bad, as you,ve said though, it looked like some of the driving wasn,t too clever....
Si looked quick as per, that Orange Evo and the White one were both flying..
nutters too.....

The no overtaking signs are a pain in the butt when you have good brakes, or decent suspension - glad on the RSOC days and normal Combe track days they remove them and you use common sense instead.
Saw a couple spins and a couple people cut me up badly when trying to get passed them, including another Evo owner who basically blocked me overtaking by running down the wrong side of the track
Was a good session, would have been better still with other similar cars, but it's always fun overtaking people whether they have 100 or 500 bhp.

i was getting pissed off with the crappy old saabs they were terrible drivers and spent to much time sliding off the track lol. the one that went up in flames was cool to watch. i hate saabs lol.... gutted for the m3 driver who totalled his m3 although it was quite amusing at the same time. there were some cars being pushed dangerousley beyond there limits like the tit in the box standard rover 416 sli on 13 inch steelies and standard suspension, he was to dangerous and was lucky not to kill him self.
Sib your evo is rapid and you pretty dominated them all when out.
Matt i did see you but was to busy running from wasps to speak lol

Matt - was that you heading up on to the A303 last night? Racing along on the road up to the service station 
Those wasps were everywhere I was trying to enjoy my Ł5.50 
burger while looking at the supercars on the AJEC stand - had 3 of the buggers hunting me down
Fun was deffo had! Love going fast, and the car lets me do that 
Yes please to any pics of mine, sib666@hotmail.com is my email, thanking muchly
Host them up please, be interesting to see what it looked / sounded like. I have a new exhaust fitted that makes the car really really quiet to pass the noise test. Would like to hear it
Getting a remap on the 20th to get a tad more power and to get rid of the Rich fuel smoke that pours out the back of the car... I reckoned on 7 mpg on track

Saw your car parked up near merlin but didnt spot you near it Si.
I had a great day in my clio but it was a shame how far behind the sessions ended up running, not really combe's fault though, they cant stop people crashing and I just turn up on action days expecting it to be mayhem, if you want to enjoy the circuit in a calmer enviroment its totally different on a trackday.

Always happy to oblige with a bit of throttle application!

I thought it was you, taking it steady home, then suddenly you shot off up the road.

Saw you once by the www.weekendracer.co.uk stand, but you were busy talking shop with someone. Saw your car parked up, but missed you again the rest of the day.

Just managed to get a shot of mine:
