I'm thinking of buying an home battery to go with the existing solar panels and lower overnight rates of electricity (they used to be called cheap rate, but at 14p per unit that's hardly cheap), but want to understand the cost benefit balance. Can anyone with a home storage battery comment on these projected savings from the installers please? "The simplest payback methodology would be to assume the 9.5kWh is charged fully each day off of either solar (0p) or overnight (14.28p). How we blend those units together is really the question, but we can start with the worst case scenario (all u

Pop along to mallory park this Sunday for the BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIP MALLORY PARK SPRINT. Free entry with just under a dozen entries in the Triumph Championship

At this stage I haven’t agreed with track owner Richard Usher the exact format for the day but with just 20 cars there will be plenty of track time for everyone. Given that, people are asked to check the condition of their brake pads. I’m going to offer anyone who turns up in a Triumph some track time late in the day. Typically, most of you will have had enough driving by about 3.30 pm and rather than have just a couple of cars running for the last hour / 90 minutes, allow other Triumph drivers onto the track for a few laps. They will, of course, have to attend a driver briefing and R

Yes anyone else wishing to book now needs to contact the office. You can no longer book online. However, I do have a plan. Anyway who turns up in a Triumph, pays £10 to £20 (i haven't decided on the amount yet), attends a driver briefing over lunch (probably 12.30 ish) will be allowed out on the track from about 4.00pm onwards for the last hour or so. It really depends how many of the people who have paid £70 are still running. Very often things die down mid afternoon with only a couple of cars still running. We've hatched this plan to make full use of our track time and entice a

Four places still left. regards kev

I'll be there. regards kev

I still have about 10 places left for this event. Don't be shy, book via the TR Register shop. This is THE ideal venue for your first track day regards kev

I've just had (Saturday at noon) a cancellation for the Triumph only track day on Tuesday. PM me if you want the space. Regards kev

Tyrone It's all part of a cunning plan. You book, you go and then you can't stop grinning for weeks on end. You fall in love all over again with your car and after a while you begin to realise something is missing from your life - until you book again. You're hooked. You'll be in very good company and will have a whale of a time in your road car - it's just about perfect for the job in hand. Book now Kev

SOLD OUT Just to let you know this track day at Castle Combe is now sold out. Plenty of space for the Blyton Park track day in July regards kev

Last chance to book. As of 5pm today there were just three places left. You know what to do. kev

Pete, what a shame, your cars looks like a lovely TR4A. For the rest of you 32 of the 48 available place have now gone. Book soon or you won't get in. regards kev

Chaps, Don't you fancy taking to the track yourselves? You could pay £250 plus for a track day at Castle Combe and find yourselves surrounded by Porkers, TVR, Lotus and the like, all capable of far greater speeds. On this track day there will be only Triumphs, there will be support and the entry fee is so much lower. Go on give it a go, you know you want to. regards kev

Absolutely. It'd be great to see a good crowd watching us making fools of ourselves, I mean driving with great skill and precision. regards kev

Week 2 update. Twenty six cars now booked, twenty two places left. TR7/8 the most popular, followed by 2&3s and 6s. Where are all the TR4s and those expensive 5s? take care Kev

That's the spirit. That's what I want to hear. Let's have some fun.

Tee hee. But you'd also better book. I've just seen the bookings and 18 of the 48 available places have already gone. If you want to come and play you'd better soon http://www.tr-registershop.co.uk/castle-combe-track-day-2015-2023-p.asp

Bill Thanks for booking. Is it just yourself driving or bringing along family or friends to have a go? Rules The first and foremost rule is to have fun, but to have fun safely. The second is to ensure that your fun doesn’t impinge of the fun of others. Treat others the way you’d wish to be treated yourself. Your are responsible for your safety and those around you. You are responsible for the safety of your car. Helmets are mandatory - but these will be on free loan from the circuit. No bare flesh in the car - so no t-shirts / shorts. Clearly it makes sense to we

A maximum entry of 48 cars - any four wheeled Triumph. Four batches of 12 cars. So that's 15 minutes of track time every hour 9am to lunch, lunch to 5pm. Lunch break of 1 hour for the marshals. Track day rules will apply. Scrutineering and noise test on arrival Track side support Revington TR and Merlin Motorsport should you need it, but you find any help you need will probably come from other entrants and local TR members who were brilliant last year. Cost £90 / car. £10 for each additional driver. Book now on the TR Register shop http://www.tr-registershop

Best wishes to all the crews tackling the RBRR. I hope the weather remains kind for you and that you avoid any nasties - mechanical or otherwise. regards kev

I'm sure you'll have a great time but to my mind the Saturday line up isn't as interesting as the Sunday cars. Apart from the Austin Healeys and Reliants, the grid is much more modern. On Sunday you'll get to mingle in the £10m Bugatti paddock, feel the Jap and Norton powered 500's, experience the1930's flat head Fords and enjoy all the other pre 1972 stuff, not to mention the TRs. Have fun, Kev

There's a stonking line up of cars for the Autumn Classic at Prescott. As well as the 15 Bugatti's entered, we have pre 1972 racing cars (Lotus, McLaren, Chevron, Brabham etc), pre 1972 Sports and Saloon cars (Allard, Austin Healey, Jaguar, MG, Porsche TVR), the Aston Martin Owners Club, 500 Owners Association cars, The fantastic Flat Head Fords, Morgan Sports Car Club and of course our very own Revington TR / TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb Championship. Cars entered TR3A, TR4, TR5, TR6, TR7, TR7 V8, Spitfire Mk IV and GT6 Mk III. Come along and enjoy. It will a great day.

And the weather forecast for Tuesday is ...

Two thirds of the way there now in terms of numbers with just over 4 weeks to go. Please don't leave it to the last minute to book, you may be disappointed. Looking forward to it. Kev
