Interesting but I have just got back from Spa and finances are somewhat tight at the moment, but I will see what I can sort out.

Hey James - How did you get on? Any Photos? Spa is one of my favourite tracks......... Ran it Formula Ford 2000 when I was young and since on Computer games/Xbox! (Sad Git)

Anyway we have sort of 3 Possibles for Castle Combe........

I will post Track Videos soon - but it is a safe track, and they run in sessions by experience (20 mins/Hour)

Perhaps we can encourage more?

Here is my video taken on board a Z3M at the 2007 Action Day round the Castle Combe circuit. Note these Action Days can be busy.

In the video the BMW's brakes suffer from fade. The driver Jay is local to the circuit and knows it well.

I definitely can't make this, sorry. But if it looks like a go-er and you want me to sticky this to the top of the page, just let me know.

We had over 5 hours to do the 3.5 hour return journey to Calais from Spa, so cruised at 70-75. Then cruised at similar speeds back towards London, with average 40-60 on the M25 where I played fuel bingo with 25 miles left showing. Squeezed 61.05 litres into the tank

On the track day I used 3/4 of a tank so that makes up for it

37.3 mpg not bad for a 3.4 litre sports car, who says fuel prices are too much

The strange thing about Europe is their toilet etiquette? in Gent in Belgium, we were in a nice street sat outside a cafe and a few yards down was a large blue plastic thing with a "+" plan shape with a little urinal basin in each corner, totally open to the public walking by

James, As a Netherlander (Includes Belgium too) You are Lucky that Nobody Laughed...............

Did you also notice that the buckets on the wall are far too high... As a Short *** - I have to stand back, to get a bit of elevation...........! (hoping that the public neither applaud, nor giggle...............)

As for Fuel Economy - with a light - right foot, even my modified CS gave 34.7 mpg..................
