A few pics of CS/WR Cars that I recognised - plus a link to my Flickr album of 400+ pics from the day (whittled down from ~1300...)

The full album link is - https://flic.kr/s/aHsk3sAgcd

The album has a few pics of general track action, the static displays and the Drifting displays too.

Members (for most, more pics than below are found in the Album )

Nice pics Dave, cheers for mine!

That M3 though - went off backwards into the tyres (gently) at Quarry in the morning, obviously didn't slow him down!

He drove into something in April too...

10/10 for consistency and gunning it constantly!


I think this time he possibly may have caught the Oil that a Mk2 Golf dumped onto Avon Rise, as he just came straight on over it sideways, and was pretty helpless on the grass.

Great pictures!

That guy in the BM was driving like a twat, under taking on the corners on the wrong side

Metallic Blue. Big bumper model IIRC. Think there is a pic in the Album.

Ahh ok, not the one on our stand then - I understand he had some oil issues in the morning, wasn't sure if they were linked.

I saw him. Didn't give a shit whatsoever. Overtaking through the bends etc.

Marshalling was even worse than before with regards to dealing with people ignoring the instructions from the drivers briefings, and April was pretty bad as it was. Definitely reaffirmed my thoughts on not using the track at these events any more.

Trax was my first every adventure on track so I wasn't aware (at the time) how bad the track manners actually was.

Problem for the marshals I guess is that they've got very little punishment for people. If people are only paid up for one or two sessions, being asked to leave the circuit is hardly a heavy punishment if compared to somebody who has paid up for an OPL somewhere.

I hope to go to both Combe and Trax next year, but I think I'll be watching

You're right Kyle, but they could at least remove the perpetrator from that session.

Mike and I were stood watching at Camp (fairly fast but tight right hander, about 100m after pit entrance) where we saw a Fiesta drive around said corner on the outside of the bend slowly - slow enough to show that he thought something was wrong with the car when he passed the pits.

He then proceeded to pull up on the grass immediately outside the exit kerb - enough to warrant a red flagged session. However, icing on the cake was that as the reds came out, he stepped out of the vehicle which meant physically standing on the exit kerb, walked around the car, took a quick look at the rear left wheel, decided he couldn't see anything wrong so got back in rejoined the circuit!

All cars then left the track into the pit lane due to the red flags, where they were directed to drive through and join the track for the rest of the session. A couple of cars were stopped and chatted to for gaining black flags, but when said Fiesta arrived he was waved through to rejoin, not a single word uttered!

I had to give someone shit for it.

They do need to sort it out. No point having a briefing then proceeding to overlook enforcing everything that's been said.

Although apart from the mentioned twats on circuit on ocasions it was still a cracking day and the two days at coombe a year are still my favorite car related outings we do as a club
Cant beat the day out as a whole
