If I could get out of work earlier I would, but I can't, so I won't lol. I'm not allowed to book holiday during term time so I'm lucky to be let out early. It should still be just before rush hour really starts though

every time we meet around lunch time on m25 there's always traffic, your leaving later so pretty much guaranteed

AFAIK there are no "stand passes" as per previous years. You'll have to get a ticket on the gate and just drive to wherever the stand is.

Looking at the booking form though, Henry would have had to have said how many cars he was expecting. So presumably the stand size will be that big, meaning there may not be anymore room though...

It will be hit and miss where we get placed as to how much space we get. April's spot was good, but it was a bit of a squeeze as other adjacent clubs tried to edge their way on!

Ok Andr, I may be mistaken. I did hear rumours of some funky lanyards this time round which incorporate your ticket/pass.
Either way there's not a lot batty boy Butler can do about it

Lol, yeah stand space will probably be tight as we will be in the middle bit as you go in this year I think. I always book stand space for more than we expect, and usually we run out of space anyway. So it may be worth a try but the people that got their names down first will get priority obviously

I've not watched it in a monitor yet but it just looks like he was SO late on the brakes and steering as if he didn't even see the corner?

Afternoon!
That would have been Mark (MB7201) last year. Thankfully it didn't blow up, just his oil filter sealing ring went, if I remember correctly! I was a passenger with Toby (Minstral) and we hit his oil and spun
The day was brilliant, yesterday, absolutely loved it
It's a shame really about the Fiat, not really sure what happened yet! That was my first time driving the track yesterday and I can see how you could easily be caught out (assuming it wasn't something actually failing on his car), plus he was also following that blue and white Fiesta, which to be fair, is pretty bloody quick!!!

Re: Castle Combe Summer Action Day 8/9/12 ***Track Times***
Hate to say it, but watching that Fiat video makes me feel a little bit better.
I've reviewed my on-board footage and have come to the unfortunate decision that my "little" off was driver error. From what I can tell, my line was just off and I was just too quick. Probably a little too over confident in what the car could do. Only driven it 150 odd miles stripped out prior to that.
