CLUB LOTUS CASTLE COMBE TRACK DAY

[Paul C]

Advance notice...

CASTLE COMBE TRACK DAY SAT MAY 27TH

Another show we attend, and some of us get on the track too!

You need to book track time in advance through Club Lotus,

or you can always try on the day, but places will only be guaranteed

if booked in advance.

Some nice SE's last year!

Last year El Tel popped by mine for a cuppa and then we headed down

together. Was nice to have my old S3 and my SE on the drive together!

Some pics of other years here:

2005

2004

More later...

[Paul C]

Bump!

Any shouts as to who is going?

There is a sad possibility i might not be able to due to house movey stuff,

But we have another forum member talking to Club Lotus and we might well

have some marked off parking this year, more to come.

So some idea of who will be getting there first thing would help

(if i'm there i'll be there about nine-ish for breakie).

[mayevora]

Am definately going and will arrive aprox 9.30am. If anybody else coming from Devon or Cornwall, let me know for a early meet - Probably Exeter Services.

[Loose Cannon]

Hopeful. Last 2 years were good.

[PVK 596Y]

Will probably be there, no Esprit though, so it will either be Excel or TVR (Sorry!)

I'll be there .

[scoule]

I'll be there ... if you see a red Excel with at least half of the lacquer missing, come and say hello!

I'm taking to the track this year (first time for ages) and too afraid of stuffing the Esprit.

[DBredS4]

I'll be there possibly with Nick if he is available and will go on track if it isn't extortionate. :-)

[Evil_Dr_Fish]

I'm having some minor engine trouble but will be there if I can

Maybe head up with BN in the HSV if he can get out of bed

[Alan Paterson]

I'll be lugging the camera around with me, hoping to interview a few people and get track shots for the 50 year film.

See y'all there.

I hope to be there, intend to arrive fairly early, however wont be going onto track, not after all the trouble I had with the Gearbox last year.

Anyone else travelling up from Portsmouth/Southampton area. Will be probably going up via Newbury & M4.

[ElTel]

I'll be there as early as required - booked in for the track as well. Anyone heading down from the East? ElTel

[MPx]

I'll be there too. Haven't missed for 15 years. Its a mega day just in the car park and the track time is the icing on the cake. Will be travelling down on Friday evening to allow an early start.

[leighton]

Missed last year ..... but will be there on Saturday !!!

[Kimbers]

Unlike last year, myself and dad cannot attend this year.....nice pics of the day though (my old man was in the lead Elite).

Have a good day all..... maybe one day someone will hold it at Snetterton instead!!

[CAM79]

Will definately be there, even if I have to have crutches! Sprained my foot badly on Sat night, the curb just jumped out of nowhere! Anyway...pushing time as my second MOT is in Thurs morning, I'm sure it will pass now, so that's one S3 Turbo coming, that's if I can drive! My Dad's definately bringing his Black SE, and my mate Dan will bring his (my old Black S3) if he can get the caliper and MOT sorted in time! It's looking good. It definately feels like everything is happening at once!

See you there, should be a great day as usual!

Brent.

[Paul C]

Looks as if i won't be there as i figured,

Have fun all the same.

Here's a map of roughly where we suggest parking

I think I might miss this years, do me a favour and take plenty of pics, especially of the Elites (which show promise of a future family fun vehicle) You had some nice shots last time.

Cheers

[pitstoppete]

im popping down on the way through to Cornwall, to have a look about, to get a silencer from Merlin Motorsport and will be hanging about for an hour or so to take some piccies at Quarry Bend, so if your out on the track, get the back out wide for me!

[Mark Blanchard]

The BBC weather forecast is always wildly pessimistic. The actual rainfall radar is always considerably smaller in area. (Pleeeeeeeeease!) 

Apparently there will be torrential rain over Castle Combe, but warm sunshine for miles around. 

You're right, I'm in the Castle Combe area now and it's not too bad, just windy and a bit damp.
