Castle Combe track day 8th Oct

['The Gaffer']

hey,

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the day.  Let's not forget trig from Turbosport for organising it.

It was the first track day I've done in my Skoda, and although it's quick it's sort of uninvolving - quiet, smooth, etc.   Got to get the Escort fixed.

The next one from Turbosport will likely be next spring so I'll keep you posted.

Bernie

Agreed, well done Trig Keep us posted Bernie.

Dave,

Good vid - plenty of clear laps at the beginning and great coverage following Phil.  See what you mean about the slicks - I dont remember that sort of performance (although I wasn't putting as much power through them as you).  Perhaps you have a got a dodgy batch - time to call Sticky Slicks for another 4.

Times: Dave - dead consistent at 1:16.5-1:17.9 (over 5 laps inc traffic), Phil - 1:30.9 (spot on for first Combe outing).

Adrian

Cheers Adrian, I felt the car had a lot more to offer, I just needed the right lines, more skill and much bigger cojones A few more goes and I might shave a second or two off - I really enjoyed the day.

A big well done to Phil who probably had double the track time I did, his car was rarely off the track. The Riot was flawless and the driver should be proud. Thats a turn key car if ever I saw one.

The following vid is from the afternoon when the sun came out and I went looking for Phil to film him having some fun.

Dave, thanks, great vid mate and cheers for slowing down to film me
