Good call! My day at Castle Combe is 24/08/2012. Brum brum.

I digested everyone's wise words and plumped for the track day at Castle Combe in my own car, especially as when I rang up about the track experience, it turned out that their single seaters are limited to approx 62mph.

Thanks Ian - Hoping they'll be there for us on the day. See you at Exeter Services.
