Dual carriageway for about 4 miles, through two sets of traffic lights INSERT INTO post VALUES (*****50 mph zone and police are hot here on circuit days!!!!!) at end of dual carriageway theres a roundabout, head right. At next roundabout, On your left is a Safeway super market with large car park!!!!! on the right is a travel lodge, suitable for your members travelling over night. It takes less than 10 minutes to get to the track from Safeways INSERT INTO post VALUES (and thats keeping to the speed limit) Safeway has a petrol station although if you desire super unleaded theres an Esso over the road next to the travel lodge. Hope this helps...if you want a detailed description of route from supermarket car park to the track.....let me know!

Just for your reference. INSERT INTO post VALUES (not to leave it to the last minute....) To get to the track from Safeway.... Out of Safeways car park back onto main road. Head left. INSERT INTO post VALUES (New'ish relief road). over 1st roundabout. At next, head right, signposted Bristol A420 and possibley Castle Combe. Stay on this road for a mile and a bit INSERT INTO post VALUES (past a Rover garage) and take next right turning for Castle Combe B4039. Stay on this road past Golf driving range on right and into village of Yatton Keynell INSERT INTO post VALUES (***ive mentioned the police before but they are out in force normally on track meets and this 30mph zone is a hot spot!!!) go through this village and a short distance past the village, "Castle Combe Race Circuit" :hurrah: will be on your left. Theres several entrances along this road but keep going and they normally use one of the last ones...we'll know when we hit the queue!! If we manage to get to Castle Combe Petrol station we've gone too far!

P.S I'll see you @ 8.30 S'ways.:thumb:

We'll be there 0830ish - as we are stopping close and prob closest to meeting point by we are guaranteed to be last there - isn't that always how it is

And for those of you not attending from distant shores, Pescha et al, there will be photos, but even better, there will be moving pictures at a website near to you of some old duffer trying to keep the beast on track

Stand back! Autographs and hand kissing by appointment only

Now where did I put that Michael Schumacher - champion driver in 3 easy lessons - video?

Roflmao..

[chris g]

What the f*** does that mean?

[Spirit]

LMAO Chris - this is gonna be fun ! Your tickets and track pack will be in the post tomorrow - briefing is 2pm on the day and track time 3.20pm !

Don't forget the spare underpants !!!

Pete

[chris g]

Look, this old fart has done Oulton Park x1 and CC x2

Not forgetting over 300 laps of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in Germany

There is nobody better qualified to take a VR-4 on track - and make a complet t**t of himself!

Having had a 360 spin at the Ring on my first visit, a trip to a gravel trap on my third visit and a scrape against the armco many visits later, I am well prepared for an embarrassing catastrophe, as well as Jan giving me grief on the way home for being a complete a**e

[Spirit]

LOL Chris

Your the man for the job ! :bow:

Will be great to have so many VR-4s in one place at one time, and to get some great pics for the website.

Pete

[chris g]

In the interests of our Posse and the greater good of our website I am sacrificing myself tomorrow to go and practice at a trackday - Jonathan Palmer's Bedford Autodrome?

I get to take the VR-4 around the track for a few hours and then have to slumit by trying out the Evo VIII and the FQ300

I know it's a dirty job but someone has to do it and I am willing to make the ultimate sacrifice - for the greater good as I said

So I should come back highly tuned, focussed, in the groove, in the zone....and knackered/petrified/scared s*****ss and so perfectly prepared to be filmed by Spielberg in front of a cast of thousands and an audience of millions!

I hope it's only a few hundred and most of them are looking at the stalls buying Ralliart oil filler caps/mats/jackets

[Pescha]

Roflmao = Rolling On Floor Laughing My Ass Off

Cheers,
Pescha
