Another very enjoyable Autumn Classic at Castle Combe . Happily the morning rain gave way to afternoon sunshine allowing spectators to enjoy some excellent entertainment , especially the little and large battles between Ben Adams' Lola and Mark Williams'Cobra in GTSCC and Barry Dye's Lotus Elite and Steve Boultbee Brooks' Aston Martin DB3S in the Fiscar race .
It was great meeting Mike Bell who took time to have chat in spite of problems in qualifying .I'm not sure if Mike was impressed or disturbed that I remembered that the last time he raced at Castle Combe was June 14th 2009 !
The demonstrations were also very impressive with the Hesketh 308 of Mark Martin , Nick Mason's Ferrari 512S (driven by Mark Hales) and Chris Helliwell's Cooper T75 among my personal favourites . Not sure if Steve Griffiths' glorious Lotus 101 was under the noise limit though !
