Hold the day. Book time off work. Earn those brownie points so you you can attend. Do whatever you need to do, but make sure you participate in our Castle Combe track day on Thursday 10th April. 

Spectating is free, as is the Sprint and Hillclimb Championship seminar in the Strawford Suite.  It's just £5 to take part in the lunchtime cavalcade.  The track cafe will be open from 7.00am serving breakfast, lunch, snacks, hot and cold drinks.  

Driving your TR at speed is one of the joys of owning a sports car. However, as the roads have got busier, driving fast on public roads is now not only dangerous but highly irresponsible. The safe way to enjoy speed in your classic is on the track.

Commercial track days in a classic car are often a bit of a nightmare. You are usually on the track with cars with far greater speed and braking power meaning you spend the entire session looking out for the next pocket rocket to appear in your mirrors.

Come on our Castle Combe TR Register track day and most, if not all, of the cars will be cherished classics being driven by people with a similar mindset as yourself. Instruction, if you want it, will be from Tim Nash, an Association of Race Drivers School instructor – it’s included as part of the deal along with an image of your car on the track.

On our track day, you drive as fast as you feel comfortable doing so. There’s no pressure to go faster, but help is at hand if you want to drive a little faster and get closer to the limits of your car.

On arrival, you are asked to prepare both your car and yourself for the track.

Your car, by removing everything from inside the car and the boot. You really don’t want that empty drinks bottle lodging itself under your brake pedal as you are trying to slow the car; or your tool kit reshaping your boots as it slides from one side of the car to the other.

Grab a drink, some breakfast, or whatever to get yourself ready to listen to the drivers’ briefing.

The circuit will open at 9.00 after the compulsory driver briefing, noise testing and signing on. The circuit will close at 17.00 and there will be an hour lunch break for the marshals. During the morning and for the first hour in the afternoon, we will have 48 cars running in groups of 12 every 15 minutes. After that, we will move to an open pitlane with up to 12 cars allowed on the circuit at any time. This will give everyone plenty of track time and minimise any queuing to get on the track.
