Default parade laps at combe..??

hi..
do they only have one make of rs doing this each year or do they normally have all the models.? im sure i remember all different models going round.. if i pre book a parade ticket this gives access to the padock for parking rather than leaving my car in the carpark to be tinkered with..
looked on the combe site and they say its the year for the racing puma but want to check if its only them allowed before i pay up for a saff lap..
thanks..

The year I went with the Pumas (2007) there were all sorts of RS's going round. It was only supposed to be 3 laps ar 40mph max. After the 5th lap passing the start / finish at more than double that we went off and back to the club stands.

I agree, thats the half hour I normally fook off back to the car for a sarnie. If I want to see a long queue of cars dribbling round in a circle at 40mph, I'll go stand by the side of the M25

but it's not 30mins, it's like 2hrs, and includes the boring bloke that drives on two wheels and hand brake turns,.

REALLY spoils the show IMO

if people want a "SLOW DRIVE" around the track, just book a session at one of the action days.

rant over

Going to a race track for a parade lap is like going to a brothel for a cuddle.

Didn't want to do the parade lap it was jst a way of getting the car somewhere safe to park and not get bits robbed off it in the carpark. Don't think I'd take it round the track properly I'd end up mullering it.
