Its a bit short notice but if you are at a loose end tomorrow its the Great Western Sprint at Castle Combe tomorrow
Free entry and loads of interesting cars to see in the paddock from purpose built single seaters, hot hatches and saloons and of course my amazing bog standard (almost) mx5!!
There is always something to see on track, each car is doing 1&3/4 laps so its interesting to watch.
Plus we have British Sprint Champ Heather Calder who hold the Combe flying lap record which she achieved last year at this event.

Eunos Roadster owned for 5 years - longest ownership ever for any car!!

I marshalled last year and had a great view from camp corner but unfortunately can't make it tomorrow. It is indeed a very good event, hope the weather is kind for you all.

I shall be cone bashing at Kemble this Sunday, and back there again on April 7th.

Did you see the report of Heather testing a F3 car?

I can’t do my usuals due to date clashes so it’s an excuse to try something different this year.
