Well - we're back from another very enjoyable day. It was the first time either of us had driven Castle Combe, and what a very interesting circuit it is too! Heard a lot about the Quarry corner before we arrived and after seeing the fairly short run-off, decided that this circuit demands some serious respect in places! The combine harvester at work in the infield also provided some unusual track-day entertainment!! A great fun day with a good MG turnout - many thanks to the Bristol Pegasus Motor Club and MGCC South West Centre for organising a smooth running day. I'll upload some pics to the gallery as soon as I can. :D

[QUOTE=Jennie]a smooth running day.[/QUOTE] What?!!! Roughest track I've ever been on! ;) Great day though. Guess a VVC is quicker after all Jen?

What another fantastic day. Only six cars on the track resulted in some of the most open track I've experienced, and what a track. Loads of flat out exits from corners (with the exception of Quarry :eek: ) although I thought the combine harvester should have been black flagged for constantly cutting across the infield;) Great to chat to some more MG drivers and to be put to shame by the fantastic condition of the older MGs
