Doesn't matter mate, just let them all past then you don't feel under to much pressure.
But don't go so slow they all catch you up again
Should be an excellant day,
I will try and get some pictures of you all when I come off track

When I made my chatter vid for youtube I used a mini tripod and just wedged the legs between the headrest and the seat Worked a treat. Guess could also gaffer tape the legs to the dash and just have it sat in the middle?

Re: action day @castle combe 19th april...Tickets are here
I might look into one of those camera mounts that goes on the rollcage, shall have to see, something cool to have for getting footage
Sure are
Nah, what we will probably do is meeting at Morissons, which is about 5 miles from the track, then convoy there after i give the tickets out etc. ill post maps and other info up sometime this week so people can plan their route there. We will need to meet up at around 7.30ish to allow time to get the tickets handed out, get to the circuit and get the stand sorted. People going on track need to get their breifing, which can be done any time after 8.15.
I need to point out, in case there is any confusion over entry tickets, for the people listed free admission on the first post, i have 1 pass for each of you, this is per person. So if you are bringing a passenger you will need to sort out entry tickets for them, you can buy them in advance from the castle combe website, or pay slightly more on the day.

Re: action day @castle combe 19th april...Tickets are here
Not that I'm telling you guys where to meet, but,
A favourite place is if you come off the last round-about and head towards Combe,
theres a very large and unmissable Golf Club on the right hand side,
probably about a mile from that last round-about
this is an excellant meeting point as people from all directions have to pass it on there way to the circuit.
As I say, its nowt to do with me but thought it may be of some use to you.
Not long now guys

Good point about filling up, but knowing Shaun he will have worked out exact amount required for a lap to save weight
If you put the postcode into google maps its right next door.

Re: action day @castle combe 19th april...Tickets are here
If we were to meet at the golf course it means i have to drive past the circuit to get there, which means negotiating queues etc
I stand by Morissons being the best place to meet up, people can get any food they want for the day, as i think they open at 8, so if people are quick they can get what they want. Theres a petrol station just round the corner aswell, and it should be easy enough for everyone to find too.
Obviously if everyone else says the golf club is their preferred place to meet then thats what we will do, but from experience Morissons is ideal really.
