Castle Combe Easter meeting
Does anyone know how the entries for Monday's meeting at Castle Combe are shaping up?
It looks interesting with a mix of Italian saloons (Alfas, Fiats etc) and "good old" English sportscars (Aston Martins, Lotuses). And does the FF1600 race have its usual full to overflowing grid? And have the GTs attracted a few more? The circuit's website is flagging up Rowan Atkinson racing his Aston Martin! If there is a link to the entries could someone post it? Thanks.

Hopefully it should be a good meeting, Combe usually is. It's a shame the weather isn't gonna be soo nice as it is now! I hope the entries are good. I know for a fact that the Castle Combe Saloons and FFord will have good entries. I hope like alfaman said that the GT's have a few more entries too. The class F Alfa race is one I am looking forward to, the last couple of times they have visited they have provided some great racing! It will be nice to see how Rowan Atkinson goes too.

A low key meeting, but some great cars and some excellent racing..
Alfas were the stars. |

We saw it disappear over into Tower in a cloud of smoke, but didn't realise that the damage was so bad! Did look like an accident all race though... was all over the place into the Esses.
Alfa 33 overtaking (backmarker) on the grass was best move of the day! |

That Aston looks a bit sorry for itself. All race he was leaving big black lines out of Camp, great to watch! All of the races were excellent. Tony Sinclair's drive of the Jade was awsome, total commitment. As Dan Friel says the Alfa's were the stars. The diesel 156 Sportwagon went very well as did the Lancia of Lindsay Ward in the Autoitalia race, beating among others two Ferrari's!!!
