The Castle Combe weather returned to its normal cold, grey, drizzly and windy state for Bank Holiday Monday’s meeting. The Husqvarna Springtime Raceday saw good sized grids again, this time the visitors being the Ma5da Championship, Production BMWs and LMA Saloons.

In contrast to the previous day’s trip to Thruxton, Easter Monday at Castle Combe involved warm sunshine, decent crowds and some exciting racing. The 750 Motor Club provided this week’s guest championships and as ever were excellent value… especially the ever entertaining Stock Hatches.
Here’s a selection of highlights…
Another year, another Alfaholics trackday to give me a reason to dust off the camera after the winter break. As now seems to be the norm for this event, we were graced with blue skies, fluffy white clouds and warm sunshine… probably the last time we’ll see that at Castle Combe for the rest [...]
A last minute decision saw me make my first visit to the Goodwood Revival on Saturday. I don’t think it’ll be my last visit either… it was probably the most enjoyable day of racing I’ve seen in ages.
The sun was a royal pain in the a**e, cutting the useable angles down for most of [...]

Castle Combe hasn’t exactly been a regular fixture in my calendar this year, but the ‘Classic Carnival’ looked interesting enough to pay a visit for a few hours on Sunday.
Thankfully the rain held off until the end of the meeting, but the heavy cloud meant the light was pretty flat for most of the day. [...]
I was getting quite concerned by Thursday that this was going to turn out to be a complete washout. But would you believe it, it stayed dry pretty much all day.
I arrived early, before the gates were opened so I could make the most of my only day there this year. The crowds [...]
I’m a bit late posting these, mostly thanks to the ever reliable Virgin Media, and a little because of my laziness.
With my new camera having just arrived, I decided to risk the weather and make a trip to Brands Hatch for the Masters Historic Festival on Sunday (May 25th). The prospect of [...]
