Castle Combe Forge Summer Action day 2011

[Benn]

Very very true Mark, but these people wont do full days. The guy in the blue m3 bmw with white boot and bonnet was a total c**t. Which he seemed very happy about.

It seems if Combe is teamed up with some one it all goes off and its full of dicks out there. (last years ajec racing free for all)

Noticed a lot of overtaking in corners.

The silver BMW estate was hilarious, trying to drift it on each corner and getting black flagged twice

Quite glad I didn't take the Nova out, think I'd have shat myself. More so than I did from the passenger seat

I got over taken in the bobies (first one) so badly i swerve him.. then again at i came in to towel corner.. Both had no marshals at them...

The two big action days have got worse for the standard of driving every year. Thats why I was so surprised there was no interest in Total Vauxhall live again this year, as the track time was excellent, there was barely ten cars out at a time!

Very pleased we got to take the V6 round though. it properly surprised me, I mean It wont break any records, far from it, but it handled 200% better than I was expecting. For a start I was expecting loads and loads of understeer, but it held on very well and I even managed to coax a bit of oversteer from it once or twice coming out of the esses and bobbies

Brakes got completely cooked though, i took it up to the shop today and they are fubar . Need some new pads!

[Jack]

There goes my plans to take those brakes off and use them on the cav then!

I have a pic of the Bmw trying to go side ways...


Oh here's my car in vid. Some one will moan over "track etiquette" i bet...

Well valid to be pissed off mate, that last lot of cunts under passing was well uncalled for, if you were less aware of them there could of been a nasty accident with all yours cars possibly wrote of, and that would of been due to a few idiots who thought they were in a "race"..

It's just like the **** when i went in April in the black nova, i almost got my bumper swiped off twice by him, and he was bully/pushing other cars etc..

To be honest if i had been out on that session and had that happen i think i would of laid a complaint against the drivers, and that the marshaling was utterly crap, why not forward them this video to show them?

i wrote a letter to them to complain last year about being sold track time for 4.30 and 4.45, and the nob marshall told me to go away as they were running late, he got so irate because we were asking questions with me and six pot nova it almost turned into a riot, when we went back at 4.45 for our late session we were told it had finished and were not allowed on track! never got a reply from them. ****ers

[scott.parker]

What, so because they were running late you both missed track time you had paid for?? Thats ridiculous.
