castle combe

Is this considered a decent track? I'm probably doing this on the 27th of this month

Castle Combe do things differently from other TDO's. If its a full day, it'll be like 6-7 groups with 10 minute sessions, but they do re-organise if its quieter. So more time per session (10mins is not enough time imo)

They also dont run the usual Novice/Inters/Fast. They just chuck whoever together, so you could be bunched with Valentine Rossi and some 65 year old guy on a Pan European.

I've not actually ridden the track itself but everyone I've spoken to said its very bumpy.

A friend of mine races Formula Ford's there and another mate of mine has raced Golf GTI's there too. It doesn't seem to be a very technical track, and from my view as a spectator it is *almost* an oval circuit. I imagine that it would be very very fast.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

As above; not really, but still better than NOT doing a trackday, at least .

Hmm. Sounds almost not worth it considering its 125lb on the castle combe website. It is the closest one to Plymouth though AFAIK

They have very strict noise rules.

The strictest in the country. The test you on a ride by basis, and standard R6s, and K7-K9 GSXR600/750s have failed it.

If you want to go try and get a noise test first to be sure you can actually get out on track.

I've got a full yoshi rs5 system on the zx6r, so fuck that. No chance of passing a noise test

Look like Castle Coombe would be a no for me too
My bike's not listed, but it has a stubby oval S/S Beowulf with no baffle ATM
