apparently any Classic can have a go  


From the TRR teach day coordinator:-
We've just agreed the date of our next TR Register Track Day at Castle Combe.  You can't yet book it, we're working to set it up on the TR Register webshop, but I wanted to give you the opportunity to book it in your diaries.  

This year we're going to do something slightly different.  The track day itself will remain the same, ie 12 cars on the track in four 15 minutes sessions each hour moving to an open pit lane sometime during the afternoon.

Around this we are building a club event with group runs to the circuit, lunchtime parade laps (so these don't impact on your track time), an ARDS instructor (Association of Racing Driver Schools) to help you improve and some other changes.

So get the date in your diary and the family calendar, book time off work if you need to and hopefully TRR will see you at Castle Combe on 10th April.

Might go to the “wider event” but I don’t think I’ll be on the track this time. No long back from Oz so limited prep time and shortly off to France so daren’t break it!

Borrow the spit!

Gutted I can't make it. One of the delights of having a working car again is the prospect of making some of these events. (Although the GT6 might have to be a trailer queen for anything too far daan saaf, at least until I tame the exhaust a touch).

But this time, if I am allowed away from the ship I will be in Kenya visiting family.

oh, my spitfire makes an appearance! Looks like they are trying to promote the event to a wider audience. 

Is that you in the yellow spit?  You're not sparing any horses, there's some pretty serious load going through those tyres!

Which one? At least one is also supposed to be going to France, though I don’t think it wants to!

Either will do. Or there is a GT6....

Yep, thats me. I think the passenger is Callum, who got rides in several cars that day and wrote a bit of a wish list.

Oh yeah….. he’s hard to keep up with in the wet and completely impossible in the dry :biggrin:

Would love a go in the Frankenspit but not sure it will have reached the “track ready” stage of development by then.

GT6…… don’t trust it not to dump engine components on the track if ragged. It’s on my jobs list to sort but the queue keeps getting jumped!

Kind words,but I should add it is not down to any driving skills. Just that I cheated in the engine dept.

I think I am still a bit twitchy in damp conditions after my Scottish incident back in 2008. Loosing back end grip takes me back, in a bad way.

I know I should do this but it’s only a few days before Shelsley and I think I’ve used up a lot of my car hobby credits !!

I have booked. But they have now made it £50 extra if you are not a TRR member, ie the same as joining. So I joined, might w=as well get something for my money.

The trouble is the cost has almost doubled, it will put some people off, which may be counter-productive as they often struggle to sell all the places.

We shall see...
