Castle Combe
This is my home territory, a scary circuit in places. The circuit has recently changed with the addition of two new chicanes.
The corner after the start/finish straight is taken flat out before taking a left-hand bend over the brow of a slight hill and somehow you have to brake whilst the car is still a little unstable for what the Autosport Circuit Guide describes as 'perhaps one of the hardest (corners) in Britain'. There is little run-off space here and this could result in a very expensive accident if you get it wrong. The first chicane is the Esses and is easy to spot whilst very fast, as is tower which can also be a little scary as you now have to break hard just after in order to make the next chicane Bobbies. This is slower and difficult to spot accurately, so difficult indeed that once I completely missed it and went straight on. Luckily there is a sensible run off here and you just rejoin the track, somewhat embarressed. Then its foot down to camp corner in which all you see is a nice white wall approaching you, care is required here as mistakes will be expensive.
My first real track day and I have to say it gave me some very huge grins and grimaces, I 've been back since and will go again.
