MikeD Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Does anyone know what the score is with spectators? Can I just turn up tomorrow to watch? I cannot see anything on the CC circuit website. Thanks Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McMuttley Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Its a shame the Register isn't doing a live webcast for those of use stuck in t'office Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR5tar Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Just got back from it. Had a great time, despite being passed by everyone on the track, several times. I highly recommend given it a go. Weather was good this morning, but we had a massive down pour at 1ish, complete with thunder and lightening. Fortunately it passed pretty quickly and we got in some afternoon running, albeit on a damp track. Brilliant stuff. Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) A well organised and enjoyable day out as a spectator, watching TRs and catching up with old friends - and all the better for being able to take Tyson Staffie with us ! Well done Kevin and his organising team. As always, decent grub at a reasonable price, marks awarded to the circuit catering team too . . . . . I'm amazed that there were not more TR spectators - a full entry of cars, free entry for spectators, good company, decent lunch, it's a day out worth bookmarking for next year ! Jerry's Vincent Hurricane was indecently quick, straights and corners alike . . . . . . Cheers Alec Edited April 12, 2016 by Alec Pringle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Seconded. Another excellent day organised by Kev and team, and as Alec remarked no rip-off burger bars either. Very pleased with the Hurricane on it's first track day. It's mostly Triumph, unfortunately the Mazda engine makes it ineligible for the sprint & hillclimb championship. The exhaust nearly fell off on the way home, otherwise nothing broke - result. Thanks Kev & co. Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR5tar Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ah, so that was you Jerry that kept lapping me in that rocket ship of yours Just to add, thanks Kevin for organising a great day. Cheers, Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PhilipB Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yes, another excellent day at Castle Combe. Thanks to Kev, Castle Combe track and everyone for the organisation. And thanks also to Revington TR and Carl and Dan for giving their time and support in the pits and for keeping me going during the day. Invaluable ( Does Kev have a direct line to the weather gods? Contrary to the recent forecasts it was yet again a (generally) sunny and warm day with only a spot of dampness after lunch) Cheers Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR5tar Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Nice photo Kev. Here's one of mine, where it actually looks like I'm moving Edited April 16, 2016 by TR5tar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Darren, the visors are set at too steep an angle, thus causing front end lift and understeer. Try this setting on the rear dampers to compensate: Fyf = fn(af).(Fm1(L1)+Fm2(L2)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR5tar Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks Austin, but you lost me after "Darren" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi Austin. all fascinating stuff, but I never could get my head round even O-level algebra . . . . . . Now can we have the Dummies Guide to TR ground effects, please . . . . . ? Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Ground effect=mostly oil in my case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
