Re: Castle Combe Classic & Retro Action Day 28th June
Great day, once again!
This is still one of my favourite shows of the year, even the rain, hale, thunder and lightning didn't manage to spoil things.
Only took a few pics..........
Big thank you to Gavin for letting me take Panto on the track. :worship:
Due to a mix up by the marshals I was late out onto the track and had to play catchup, but by the time we'd finished the first lap we were behind the pack. This consisted of the pace car, a Lotus seven, two Subaru Impreza Turbo's, then us. Once we'd caught up we stayed on their tale for the remaining four laps.
Although it was a no overtaking procession session (think that's right) it was a fast one, advertised as 70mph. In reality the pace car stretches this to the point where we were pretty much flat out.

Panto was brilliant, especially the engine, so flexible that I could leave it in third nearly all the way round. I did get into fourth towards the end of the straight (90 mph) and second when exiting a very slow corner but otherwise it was third all the way. :slayer:
I do have a pic from the professional photographer that I will post soon, and I think Gavin may have a couple of short vids.
