Southern CSL track day - Castle Combe 3rd April

[terryb]

We are running a track day at Castle Combe on Friday 3rd April. This is a 48 car day with 12 cars per session. 4 sessions per hour = plenty of track time :)

If there are enough CSL owners interested, then we could run a CSL session - would look awesome having 12 CSLs on track together :)

The day is run by Track Masters, of which I am one of the organisers - have a look at www.track-masters.co.uk for more info and details of other events.

Track day details...

Maximum 12 cars on track (48 car maximum), ARDs instruction at no cost from Mike Wilds (ex F1/ Le Mans and current Britcar Champion) and Antony Wilds (Mike's son who holds the lap record at Combe in a Sports 2000 car)

We normally run open sessions in the morning and open pitlane in the afternoon weather allowing either way you will get lots of track time.

Cost

Driver £159.00
Co Driver £25.00
Passenger £0
Spectator £0

Noise limit is 100dB measured static at 3/4 max revs (I think).

If you're interested then please send me a PM or an email to terry@track-masters.co.uk and put your name on the list below

That could be a good one, Any French lads interested Ben? hightmast?
it's only 100 miles from Portsmouth, we could take the ferry in "le havre" During the night, arrival at 6 AM UK time, drive directly to be there around 8 AM and come back on the same day, ferry is at 11 PM and have a good sleep or party on the way back :thumbs:

looking forward to it Terry, will see this week with my office if I'm free to add my name on the list :smt023

not done castle combe before plus i need some practice can you put me on the list please

[glendog74]

AlexGTT would probably like to do this - have sent him a PM! :whistle:

[Shake&Bake]

I would love to get out on this one. It woud be my 1st UK trackday. Would it be a good event for a newbie like me never been to CC before?
AndyK I'm about an hour from Cardif how long would it take to get to CC from there?

[AlexGTT]

As Rob said, I could be a possible for this. Will let you know tomorrow.

[glendog74]

It woud be my 1st UK trackday. Would it be a good event for a newbie like me never been to CC before?

I think it would be a good first taster. CC is set in a quiet rural location but has most facilities without being overly busy. Although the lap is relatively short compared to others, it throws most things at you with both fast and slower technical sections.

Regarding the journey from Cardiff, i think it would be about a max of an hour or so with standard traffic? Andyk can probably advise better!

Rob. :beer:

[Andyk]

CC is about 25 30mins from Chepstow so add another 30ish from Cardiff I would think....def no longer than 1h15m.

If you are going Shakeandbake we could meet at the severn bridge and travel across together......we could pick up Glendog and Dave the other side if all are attending.....Anyone else wants to join a convoy could join in around Bristol or I now a meeting place about 5 miles from Coombe,just of the motorway jnct that we could all meet before going to the curcuit.

[Shake&Bake]

Thanks Guys,

Yes that sounds great Andy might be a nice photo opportunity to have a few CSL's lined up beside the Severn ala profile pic.
On aother note I was at the Motorshow in NEC in Birmingham on Saturday and was really looking forward to picking up a helmet for upcoming track days however there wasn't the choice that I would have hoped for (Arai sold out Shoei not there) There are no motorsport supply companies in my area that I know of any suggestions where I could get one?

P.S Sorry for going off topic.

There is a company at Castle Coombe circuit that sell them...think it'######## Motorsport. Willpost the web site when I get home. Buy one and collect when you go to the track day. They do mail order as well.

Hi Andy. I'm Abergavenny, so if I book for this I could meet you at Chepstow to start the convoy. :thumbs:

[Andyk]

:thumbs: Sounds good..then anyone coming the other way we could meet just off the jnct to Coombe.

[terryb]

Guys

Remember, for those of you that have little or no experience, we have 2 of the very best instructors out there - Mike and Antony Wilds - and they are free to use.

Anyone that hasn't been on track before will be asked to have an instructor with them on their 1st session anyway.

Interest is looking good - I can definitely see a session full of CSLs at this rate - how awesome would that be :)

Cheers

Terry

Sounds like a plan meet up just off M4 and convoy in together through the twistys !

Also if you want my mate to come along who's a bit handy with a camera I'm sure he would be up to be 'official CSL' photographer for the day....You will have seen his work on the front cover of this years CSL calander and other pics I've posted from Goodwood.

Andy, we could well use him and he could photo all the cars on the day, not just the CSLs - therefore making him a few more bob on the day, potentially :)

[DazBlackCSL]

Thats a plan , like Coombe ...looking forward to a blast out :wink:

[E46ACS]

It's a bit of a hike for me, Durham - CC 280 miles! So will need to be an overnighter so will need to check my schedule.

Put me down as a possible.

Just one thing for anyone with a 'louder' exhaust...very very strict on noise at CC.

[Andyk]

Terryb, as it looks like we will have a few CSL's do you think we would be allowed to have a grid CSL group photo at some point through the day.....it would look great in next years CSL calander.

[david]

Taking option on it

PS: Does anyone have a Hotel address nearby the track (same place, would not like to see my Csl damadge of gone....), just be security for me, Might need to pop in Uk a day earlier or later (according to ferry boat times)

If you want to travel to the circuit with a few others there is St Pierre Country Club in Chepstow....or if you want something a little cheaper the Two Rivers Hotel...Chepstow is a quite town so car should be safe. St Pierre is more secure and a very nice setting....we are around 20 to 25 mins from CCoombe.

Would like to tag along for a watch if that's ok. Coming from Portsmouth if anyone else is??

[glendog74]

I think terryb and azrael are coming up from Portsmouth way. :thumbs:

[terryb]

Track notes will be emailed out on Monday :)

I'll be heading up on Thursay evening as I need to be at the circuit early doors to help set up.

Unfortunately I won't be in the CSL though, as I've agreed a px deal on a GT3 and so can't drive it... :(

[SMD]

You sold the CSL?:banghead:

What GT3?:whistle:

[Z4NM]

Very nice. 996? Is it a black one by chance??

[DazBlackCSL]

Who's on this one boys ?

I will pop by in the PM and say hello, if there are any spaces or drop outs will happily get out in the afternoon :whistle:

Be good to see if the SS will pass the DB levels as well:hahaha:

Big group hug friday !:smt047

[dave1]

im coming up but not on track,my car needs a few jobs doing just took a beating at the island this weekend

[azrael]

I think terryb and azrael are coming up from Portsmouth way. :thumbs:

My car is currently at the Mercy of Snows Portsmouth :smt120

[glendog74]

I'll be there :smokin:

[Z4NM]

Azrael, I'll be interested to hear how you get on with Snows. I haven't been too impressed to date with their dealings on my 118d. All they have done on CSL so far is put a new steering wheel on!

[azrael]

Azrael, I'll be interested to hear how you get on with Snows. I haven't been too impressed to date with their dealings on my 118d. All they have done on CSL so far is put a new steering wheel on!

I haven't been impressed with anything they have done on the CSL, they fitted new RTAB's and Bush limiter kit a while back, I wasn't happy with other work they did at the same time so it went straight back, once i had it back to drive it didn't seem right (not as planted), was gonna take it to simpsons because I was fed up with snows but never found the time (not exactly down the road + time off work) Any how, just had it MOT'd and one side of the rear suspension is misplaced and none of the brake lines were tied back up properly causing them to be fouled. Also the oposite side the spring has broken (Don't blame them for that bit tho)

They seem hard work to deal with and really defensive, took it back to them so they can put it right. I told them I have warranty & that i don't care how they do it I just want it put right.

hopefully lack of car sales must mean they rely on servicing/aftersales revenue a little more = better service... I did mention my impending Inspection II

Erm rant over lol

[dave1]

was at simpson's all day yesterday good bunch:thumbs:


1400 miles this week now have bad back

[shimmy]

[karbonkid]

Yea looked like smashing day. Should of come up, only 2.5hrs for me but putting starting to put on the miles now. How did the PS2s perform?

[AlexGTT]
