With the demise of the Donington Kit Car show, Complete Kit Car Magazine (CKC) have joined forces with Castle Coombe to create the Classic, Kit and Retro Action Day. CKC have created a Special Display area, or Kit Car Village, in the prime central pits area and we, the Cotswold Westfield Club, have been able to secure 20 FREE passes for car and driver in The Village.

As ever its a great venue to meet other Westfield owners from not just our own Cotswold area, but also meeting our neighbours from Bath and Bristol, Thames Valley, North Oxford also Hants and Wilts. We will be inviting our neighbours so it will be first come first served for the free tickets.  The village will also host many other Kit Car Clubs so there will be plenty of like-minded folk to meet.

It is also a great chance to get out on to this brilliant track for very little cost, though you dont have to go on track to enjoy this day out as theres plenty of car clubs with their own car/marque display areas, various trade stands, auto-jumbles and the Merlin Motorsport shop for any bits you need to buy!  Kit Car manufacturers may also be doing passenger rides if you sound like you are going to buy one of their products!

GETTING ON THE TRACK - PASSES 

You can buy your track passes in advance by going onto the Castle Combe website admissions page.  When you book just say you are part of the Westfield Sports Car Club Cotswolds.  The cost is £25 if bought before the 12^th June or £35 if bought on the day.  

If you dont want to buy in advance, you could follow Chris Vareys advice and wait and snap up any unwanted tickets at a discount for sessions at the last minute or later in the day as said it can be cheap track day!!!  Please note that your car will be DBA sound-checked and must be road legal. There may also be a sound check for cars on track.

DRIVING STANDARDS ON THE TRACK  

The Organisers keep a close watch on driving standards, issuing yellow and red cards to prevent any offenders getting back on the track. You must attend a briefing session before you go out and collect a wrist band. 

NOISE CHECKS      

Castle Combe are notoriously fussy about this so it will pay to get your car checked before you pay money for sessions. The sound limit is 100 dB(A) - measured at the exhaust pipe at 4500rpm on a static test. Your car may be completely road legal, but if it doesnt meet their sound test - then it cant go out. 

CAMPING   

If you are coming some distance overnight Camping is available on the Friday 19^th only
