Default Castle Combe Spring Action Day

Who else was there, I was in my Escort GTi lookalike in the 10:30 session and the car did well considering it's the first time I have used it since the re-shell. Saw some nice Fords there including a mk4 Escort Sport - anyones on here?

I was in this at 10:30 on track:



Video - my camera didn't record anything - d'oh. Anyone got any footage of the 10:30 session!

Where abouts did it stop then? Was it still on fire? I was standing along the pit straight, there was flames roaring out from under it. Don't know if it was oil or fuel fire as it was very low, must have been bottoming out!

He stopped on farm straight, it was still on fire but the Marshalls soon put it out , I looked at it later in the day when he had his bonnet up looked like it was oil fed . The driver was still laughing so it's not all bad lol, having said that you need a sence of humour to drive a cammo coloured carton est with a c20let
